Destinations in Südamerika

Brazil is pure zest for life: Carnival in Rio, Copacabana, the Amazon rainforest, the Iguazu Falls, and one of the most diverse cultures in the world. Samba, Caipirinha, and football are part of it.

Peru is the land of the Incas: Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, the Nazca Lines, and an emerging gastronomy scene in Lima. From the Andes to the Amazon to the coast, Peru offers breathtaking contrasts.

Argentina is a land of extremes: from the glaciers of Patagonia to the pampas and the waterfalls of Iguazú. Buenos Aires pulses with tango, steak, and nightlife, while the south beckons with the end of the world. Additionally, Mendoza's Malbec wine – Argentina is a feast for all senses.

Colombia has transformed from a hidden gem to the trendiest travel destination in South America. Cartagena's colorful colonial old town, Medellín's impressive transformation, the coffee region, Caribbean dream beaches, and the Amazon rainforest make Colombia incredibly diverse. The warmth of Colombians is overwhelming.

Chile stretches over 4,300 km from the driest desert in the world to the glaciers of Patagonia. The Atacama Desert offers the clearest starry sky on Earth, Torres del Paine is a hiking paradise, and Easter Island is one of the most mysterious places in the world. Additionally, there are excellent wines and Santiago as a cosmopolitan capital.

Ecuador is the most diverse country on Earth in a small space: From the Galápagos Islands with their unique wildlife to the colonial old town of Quito (UNESCO) and snow-capped volcanoes to the Amazon rainforest – everything is reachable within a few flight hours. The country on the equator offers adventure, nature, and indigenous cultures at South American prices.

Bolivia is South America's wildest adventure: The Salar de Uyuni – the largest salt flat in the world – transforms into an endless mirror during the rainy season. La Paz is the highest capital city in the world with cable cars as public transport, the Yungas Death Road offers an adrenaline kick by mountain bike, and at Lake Titicaca, you encounter ancient Aymara culture. Bolivia is rugged, authentic, and incredibly cheap.
