A rich and vibrant history

South America has much to teach you about its cultures, and visitors will be able to visit Inca sites such as Sacsayhuaman and Machu Picchu or head to Easter Island to explore the giant volcanic stone heads that mark a bygone culture that once called South America home.

For something a little more up to date, walk in the footsteps of the Conquistadors as they delivered Christianity to the continent and stop off at the old city of Cartagena for a look at the old colonial buildings that flank every winding street and corner.

For those thrill seekers, you can even try your hand a white water rafting if you dare as South America is a region full of exciting activities that you might not have expected to discover amidst the amazing wildlife and varied history.
