Every journey is always born from a dream
SOUTH AMERICA
Argentina is a country that offers incomparable natural beauty, from the Tropic of Capricorn to Antarctica, from the Andes to the Atlantic Ocean, where you can still experience the thrill of living in immense spaces, in which the presence of man is barely, or not at all, perceptible. For Argentinians, tango is the most prominent element of the country's popular culture, the verdant Pampas, the immense Argentine plain, boundless, a sea of grass topped by an infinite sky, tobacco plantations, expanses of sugar cane, and hills that appear after a desert of cacti, among canyons and red mountains in the background. The Parque Nacional de Los Glaciares (6,000 square kilometers of ice, icebergs, lakes, virgin forests, and mountains) is the most fascinating spectacle of Patagonia. Here is the Perito Moreno glacier, a blue claw that descends from the Andes and plunges into the waters of Lake Argentino, a milky and unreal sky blue. For adventure lovers, it is an ideal destination at the ends of the earth, nature in its wildest form.

Rio is certainly one of the most sought-after and popular tourist destinations internationally and is a fascinating place where you can have fun all day to the rhythm of samba. The city, dominated by the famous statue of Christ the Redeemer placed on top of Corcovado, is famous for the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema and of course known for its carnival. Rio de Janeiro also contains the largest forest within an urban area. The beautiful city, commonly called "Bahia," is certainly one of the most charming and beautiful places in Brazil. The beaches stretching from Fortaleza to the Parnaíba Delta are the most beautiful and most loved by windsurfers. The Iguazu Falls are formed by a series of waterfalls that originate from the confluence of the Paraná River and the Iguaçu River.

Bolivia, nestled in the heart of the South American continent, has no access to the sea and this isolation is part of its history, which tells of struggles for independence and survival in a harsh and often hostile land. It was the ancient Collasuyu of the Incas, or Upper Peru, a fascinating country where Nature is extreme in every form: the towering peaks; the world's largest salt flat, an immense white expanse where the eye cannot see the boundary; Lake Titicaca, shared with Peru, the highest navigable lake, on whose shores one of the most enduring precolonial civilizations was born, that of Tiwanaku, whose remains still stand as testimony to a glorious past, with its legends and majesty; the Salar de Uyuni, where one is dazzled by the almost blinding white of the salt crystals; the sharp contrast of colors, when the sun paints the distant peaks in red and ochre and silence envelops everything.

A unique and fascinating country, where the imprint of the Inca heritage and the long centuries of Spanish domination is still very strong. The precious memories of this era remained hidden for centuries, only to re-emerge with overwhelming beauty and strength. Lush vegetation, imposing mountains, snow-capped peaks, crystal-clear lagoons, valleys filled with colors, a largely unknown flora and fauna that remained hidden for centuries, but also the mysterious culture whose architecture is only the most evident of its expressions. The magic of the Andean world lies not only in the features of its ancient culture, in the fantastic constructions of pre-Hispanic architects, in the unparalleled beauty of its colorful landscapes, but also captivates with the beauty of its coasts, its mountain ranges that tempt climbers from all over the world, and its tumultuous streams, allowing you to experience great emotions stirred by the magic, nature, and history of this extraordinary country.

A strip of land at the ends of the earth, 4,300 kilometers long and on average 175 kilometers wide, stretching straight from the Tropics to the South Pole, enclosing changing and contrasting landscapes: from desert to ice, and from beaches to snow-capped volcanoes. An immense desert of volcanic peaks, gorges, and geysers, it is the driest and most inhospitable desert area on the planet, where you can witness one of the most thrilling spectacles: the ground trembles as dozens of geysers, columns of white steam, intermittently bubble up with muffled hisses in the air. Patagonia begins where the "continent" ends and Chile sinks below sea level, turning into a labyrinth of fjords and channels enclosed between mountains covered in dense vegetation. Through the Strait of Magellan, Tierra del Fuego begins, on the threshold of the South Pole, where darkness dominates the endless winter nights and ice grips the mountains and waters. Among the now low mountains at the end of the Andes, between the two quarrelsome oceans, one last rock endures, the most mythical place on the globe, Cape Horn: a black, pointed rock, lashed by freezing rain and winds.

Land of eternal spring, suspended on the thread of the Equator from which it takes its name, it divides itself into four with its changing landscapes and its varied ecosystems. To the east, the heart of darkness of the impenetrable Amazon rainforest, inhabited by tribes still at the dawn of humanity. To the west, the coast with its endless beaches fringed with mangroves and plantations of bananas and cocoa. In the center, the Andean cordillera dotted with 38 volcanoes, giants of fire surrounded by lava flows and perpetual snows. An imposing chain, shaped by valleys and plateaus inhabited by the indigenous people, who fiercely defend their ancestral culture. Finally, lost in the immensity of the Pacific, 1,000 km from the coast, the Galápagos Islands, Noah's Ark and kingdom of biodiversity, are called the Islas Encantadas, where nature is the last goddess. Mitad del Mundo, latitude 0°00'00'', the Equator passes right through here, and behind it, the Pululahua volcano, now quiet for several millennia, stands guard.


Beyond the mainland, almost 1000 kilometers from the coast, isolated in the Pacific Ocean, lies the Galápagos archipelago, one of the rarest and most fascinating places on the planet. A volcanic desert, bare, where the islands (13 main, 6 small, and 41 islets) stand solitary and mysterious, hosting rare animal and plant species, many of which are unique in the world, that found refuge here driven by winds and ocean currents, managing to survive in complete isolation. A paradise of evolution and a field of study, it was here that the young English naturalist Charles Darwin wrote "On the Origin of Species," the manifesto of his revolutionary evolutionary theories.
