Embark on your Latin American adventure
The Venezuelan saying ‘Camarón que se duerme, se lo lleva la corriente’ means ‘the shrimp that falls asleep is taken away from the flow’. It describes those who miss the chance to be better, see more and make the most of every moment in life. It’s particularly fitting when applied to travelling in South America: keep your eyes open, drink it all in and don’t be a sleeping shrimp!
See the iconic sights
Brazil heads straight to the top of the must-see list with its white sand beaches, glittering blue waters and iconic Sugarloaf Mountain. Pair this with the Mendoza wine regions of Argentina, the Caribbean coastlines of Colombia and of course, the ancient Inca civilization of Peru’s Macchu Picchu and it’s not hard to see that South America is a treasure trove of delights.
Indulge in delicious food
For lovers of steak and red wine, Buenos Aires will be your dream destination, whilst the delicious Peruvian gourmet is making a name for itself all over the world. From the national dish of bandeja paisa in Colombia to the shredded beef arepas of Venezuela, one thing’s for sure in South America: you’ll never go hungry.
