Reply to this So far my highlights have been;
•
Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
•
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - "Cidade Maravilhosa" - the marvellous city.
•
Iguacu/
Iguazu Falls, Argentina, Brazil
•
Ilha Grande, Brazil
I've only been to Brazil and Ecuador (not counting brief trips across the boarder) - but I've heard so many great things about Patagonia, Peru, Columbia that I think there many many more highlights in this stunning continent.
Reply to this Thank you Ali so much for sharing your highlights😉 I appreciate it very much!

I have only been travelling the Esat coast and highlights for me were:
The Pantanal in Brazil for the wild life and remote experience
Iguacu Falls in Brazil and Argentina for the views and it really looks as good as on paper
Buenos Aires in Argentina for the excellent steaks and red wine
Cartagena in Colombia for being a beautifil city and its nice people
Santa Fe in Venezuela for the beuatiful sea, loads of wild dolphins and very nice people
enjoy your trip

Reply to this My buddy and I are landing in Quito, Ecuador Oct 29th. We currently have an exact end date of our trip but were thinking around dec 15th-20th. Our only must do on our list is hitting up Machu Piccu and some surf towns in Ecuador and Peru. We hope to get down to Patagonia and end in Buenos Aires. Does anyone have some suggestions on must see cities/attractions? We plan to stay out of Columbia, Venezuela, and Brasil.
