Trip to South America (Part II)

Do you like to travel? Do you want to experience a new culture and visit an amazing place? Well, for those who love to travel, visit new places and experience nature first hand. You will love to know about the other five destinations I'm going to tell you about!

Here they are:

6. San Pedro de Atacama-Chile

This destination once was a destination where they transported cattle and today has flourished into a major tourist destination.
The best area is the "Valle de Luna" (Moon valley), travelers think is a great setting for star gazing. This place not only is amazing for star gazing but also offers beautiful craters, canyons, caves, valleys and salt mines.






7. The Galapagos Islands - Ecuador

This is the ultimate animal lover's paradise. The Galapagos are perhaps the last unspoiled place on earth where man  continues to respect the boundaries of mother nature and wild creatures prosper without fear of man.
No where else can you find animals frolicking, unafraid of their onlookers. Here you can play amongst sea lions,penguins and swim alongside turtles.


8. Lake Titicaca - Bolivia

This is South America's largest lake and the home to several indigenous communities make the area both agriculturally strong and full of cultural significance.Copacabana is the heart and largest town on the shore.  Due to its rich history, Copacabana's religious festivities, often celebrating Pachamama (Mother Earth), are frequent and well known. 


9. Easter Island - Chile

The Easter Island, also known as Isla de Pascua or Rapa Nui by the Spanish and Polynesian, is known to be one of the most sacred sites on Earth. Famous for its enigmatic giant stone figures, the "Moai" were built centuries ago, but continue to remain a mystery.            Easter Island also hosts two white sand beaches making it the idyllic location to take in a bit of ancient culture while basking in the tropical sun. Visitors can enjoy bodysurfing, surfing, scuba diving and snorkeling.



10. The Pantanal - Brazil
Perhaps the wildest region in the world, the Pantanal has the greatest density of animal life in South America. Created by seasonal flooding of the river Paraguai, these wetlands are considered one of the world's largest and most diverse freshwater wetland ecosystems. A lot of colorful birds, hummingbirds, macaws and parrots inhabit this area.
