¤ South American Soul - Argentina

The people of Buenos Aires , who refer to themselves as port people, enjoy their bind to Europe , exhibit their original energy, glee in culture, fashion and food and share a conventional miserable for things past. Buenos Aires was founded in 1536. The city thrived. Buildings went up, each more splendid than the last. Buenos Aires became a city of society and fashion, the trendsetter of the Americas . Today Buenos Aires is enormous, yet easily easy to get to by suburbs. The portions of most interest to visitors surround the compact central area around the Avenida 9 de Julio, the widest avenue in the world, which runs the exclusive northern suburbs. The charm of Buenos Aires for many visitors lies in the neighborhoods known as barrios . There are many tourists never sees unless they go out from the center into the newer suburbs but the most famous ones surround the center of the city and have their roots in the city's history. We arrived in Buenos Aires where our local hosts were waiting for us in a comfy vehicle to take us to our hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were treated beautifully, with charm and great service. On our first night we decided to go watch Tango. The music was amazing and the show in general breath-taking. It was such an intense moment, really. Looking back, it's hard to forget the dancer's faces and the feelings they triggered in me.

As days passed, I realized that everything I had imagined about this place was better and better. While in Buenos Aires , we took pleasant bike rides, visited beautiful parks, visited museums and the Colon Theatre, went to excellent restaurants, went to Palermo neighborhood and shopped. We also had the chance to meet several locals from who we learnt a great deal about Argentina : it's ups and downs, the complexity of the political & economic downturns, the people's reminiscence of past better times. Our days in Buenos Aires were just the beginning. As we were driving us to our hotel, I couldn't help but thanking life for the marvels of nature. Curvy roads next to clear lakes, snow tipped volcanoes and a light blue- yellowish ski, were the complements of this enchanting scenery. Every day in Patagonia was like a dream. I wish that I could regress there.

¤ South American Andes And Treasure

The Bolivian Altiplano extended to the sphere in all directions, broken only by uneven mountains that floated in a sparkling, salt tinged hallucination in the distance. The bright blue sky equally stretched everywhere to the horizon, flawless by the smallest cloud, until amalgamation with land in the distance. The burning white sun constituted the sole occupant of the sky, and although its rays burned my skin and faded my clothes within days, no warmth seemed to radiate from that sphere. Instead, the sharp wind tore through my layers of clothes, scary me even as I was being tanned. The thin air, lack of vegetation to provide outlook of distance, the span of blue sky, and glowing sun collective to induce a separate, dreamlike state in which concepts of distance and time stopped to have meaning. The village below was laid out in a grid, consisting of four streets by five streets, and it appears that little changed since the 16th Century. There was no electricity, no running water, and no source of heat except wood. The source of water that was available was frozen except for two hours in the afternoon. The village appeared to have some natural defense, concealed by a circle of volcanic hills. In local teachings, these three great rock spires were known as the Three Giants. The countless miners who toiled to wrest high grade ore from wide silver veins would have found it impossible to recognize this as silver ore. How ironic that for centuries, miners had removed silver ore from the district until all thought it tired, when in fact the vast mass of silver occurred in this white, brittle rock, unseen to the naked eye. As often occurs in life, great fortune may lie at our very feet if only we could but identify it.

¤ Galapagos Islands of Ecuador

The mere name stirs up visions of giant tortoises, strange reptiles and exotic birds. The island's reputation is well earned, for a holiday is much like on foot through a cage less zoo. A numerous of species co habitat here. Unnecessary to say, the Galapagos Islands are heaven for photographers and bird watchers. Since the islands are an ecological reserve, under the jurisdiction of the parks system, the number of visitors allowed each year is strictly limited. Various government fees and taxes were collected at points along the trip.San Cristobal's runway dead ends a few short feet from land's end, making for an exciting landing. After checking through immigration, we were bussed to the town's small harbor. Brilliant turquoise water kissed San Cristobal 's shoreline. Sea lions were plentiful either frolicking in the sea or basking on the sun baked shore.

The tourists were delighted to already be seeing animals, but our guides guaranteed us that it was only the beginning. The site of the crystal blue water had us as excited as children on the first day of summer. We suited up, boarded the panga and embarked on our first adventure of the trip.

As clear as the water appeared from the boat, visibility while snorkeling was only about twenty to thirty feet. There were a few colorful fish to be seen, but the most interesting part of this experience was swimming. After that some time in evening we have started the second leg of our trip. At about midnight, the motors started and we began a six hour journey to Genovesa Island at the northeast portion of the Galapagos. Most nights were spent traveling. I was rocked to sleep with a mild ocean perfumed breeze blowing through my open cabin window, and the sound of water quickening against the side of the moving boat.

¤ Peru Touring

One of the essence of Peru traveling is to explore the Cotahuasi Canyon which is in southern Peru is 1,850 metres (6,000 ft) deeper than the Grand Canyon, you're no doubt amazed. But if I tell you that the Cotahuasi Canyon also happens to be the deepest canyon in the world, it's now entered into that great ‘Must-See Places' under the sky. On the journey to the canyon, one circles Peru 's third-highest peak, Coropuna, its set of three snow-capped incisors biting into lapis skies at nearly 6,500 metres. Shallow rivers wind their way in volcanic beds across the landscape. One's first impression of Cotahuasi is the landscape's pure scale. It rises up from its soft bottom, up through acme of terraces. The Cotahuasi Canyon has been inhabited for generations, and was an important route linking the Pacific coast with the Inca capital of Cuzco in the highlands to the northwest. There are several ruins from the Wari cultures can be found all over there.

In Cotahuasi, we had supper in a restaurant run by a busying lady in her forties. A television blared an action movie in the corner, arachnid electrical arrangements provided lighting and we shared a long table with the other clients who ebbed and flowed in and out. The food was excellent. They're not the only ones. The next morning we were up at the canyon's rim soon after dawn, the morning sun lighting its tawny western flanks, feeling its way down to the river bed like a blind man tapping with his cane. The rest of the vast scene remained hidden from it, washed in hazy violet, hoarding its dew, reluctant to give up its secrets so easily. To me this trip was worth memorable and recalling it for sharing with others to me the Cotahuasi Canyon is one of the arduous spots.

¤ Chile Adventure

Beaches of Chile South America awesome, if some one likes to build a hut or smaller lodge then the Prices for a lot range about couple of thousand dollars, depending on the size and locations preferred. The variety of places, where a small cabin would make one sense so warm and at home in the surroundings.The coastal areas of Chile have a lot to propose anyone who is thinking of living there. Going into the main part of downtown Vina, you will find tons of street vendors selling anything from oil on canvas paintings of seascapes, to handcrafted leather items and more. There's much to see and do and there are more small curio shops then I've ever seen in my life in Vina. If you're looking to collect unique and rare items, this would be the place to start. There's fine dining in Vina but if you want something fast and simple there are tons of cafes and fast food type of restaurants. Fine dining is great but this city is one with people on the move who don't always want to take the time to enjoy a fine cuisine. Everybody's coming and going at all times of day and night, with same energy and the same excitement. During the month of February, a singing Festival has been held each year. The first is the international competition, which traditionally has around ten countries taking part; then there is the folk section, with performers coming from all over Chile .

Valparaiso is more or less a historical monument, the whole city, it's ancient but this is its attraction and temperament, the city of Valparaiso has been called “The Vertical City” because it was built on large hills. A real delicacy in Valparaiso , is a ride on an ascensore. The shops and stores are in the lower part of the city but the residential living is in the hilltop areas. It has always reminded me of touring part of the Europe, and once you've walked down the streets you'll feel the European influence too, even some of the street names are French. There are several good cafes that are French in name also. The apartment buildings are old and Chile is a country that is only interested in what's new and seemingly modern. Most do not wish to live in an older building.

If you love photography, then these areas are a photographers dream! Even if you're not a great photographer, take lots of pictures anyway! You'll be pleased afterward you did. There's no way you can come to any of these towns and not leave with a superior feeling. I personally, doubt one can come here and not entertain the idea of moving and living there.
