If you're visiting South America for the first time, don't miss this in-depth 16-day guide! You can explore the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires, visit the Devil's Throat at Iguazu Falls, take a boat tour to experience the majestic power of the water up close, and unlock surprises like Inca ruins and glacier trekking. / When we talk about South America, we mean the southern part of the Americas. It's rich in the history of the Inca Empire, known as an adventurer's paradise 🏔️, and features stunning landscapes like the Andes Mountains and the Amazon Rainforest waiting for you to explore! / 📒 Recommended route: D1–D3: Arrive in Buenos Aires to experience the South American urban vibe. Fly to Iguazu the next day. On the third day, visit Iguazu National Park to see the waterfalls and the Devil's Throat up close. D4–D7: Fly to El Calafate, trek the Perito Moreno Glacier, travel by car to Puerto Natales, and explore Torres del Paine National Park to immerse yourself in pristine nature. D8–D11: Fly to Santiago, transfer to Easter Island to explore its unique island landscapes, then return to Santiago. D12–D15: Fly to Cusco, take a train to Aguas Calientes to visit Machu Picchu, then head to Lima to experience the local culture. D16: Airport transfer in Lima for your return flight, concluding your South American journey. / Must-visit attractions: La Boca ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Address: Buenos Aires, Argentina Opening hours: Open all day Duration: 1–3 hours Colorful corrugated iron houses covered in graffiti, impromptu tango around every corner, plus legendary stadiums and fragrant charcoal-grilled steaks—the atmosphere is incredible! Iguazu Falls ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Address: Misiones Province, Argentina Opening hours: 8:00 AM–6:00 PM Duration: 3–5 hours 275 water columns cascade down from 80 meters. Standing above the Devil's Throat, getting soaked by the mist, and seeing rainbows appear at any moment—it's breathtaking! Machu Picchu ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Address: Postal code 08680, Peru Opening hours: June 1–October 15, 6:45 AM–3:45 PM Duration: 3–5 hours The lost Inca city hidden in the Andes Mountains, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Every stone wall tells a story of an ancient civilization. / 🌍 First, get your documents sorted! Apply for visas for the relevant South American countries in advance, and be sure to carry your original passport + copies with you. 🔌 Next, prepare your electronic devices! Most of South America uses European-style plugs, so don't forget a travel adapter + fast charger and power bank. 🧥 Finally, pack the right clothes! Parts of South America are cool in August, so a light down jacket + sun-protective clothing and comfortable hiking shoes are essential. / This private South American tour is totally worth it. Grab your travel buddy and go!
