5 Trips You Need To Take In South America

I have always longed to see the world. South America is full of gorgeous mountains, waterfalls, diverse foods, amazing city skylines, and an incredible history. This continent just south of us holds many of our world's most beautiful gems. Being able to see any of these places would be a worthwhile trip for anyone. Whether you want to eat street food in Colombia, take a picture at the salt flats in Bolivia, or any other of the beautiful cities in South America has something for everyone.

La Boca is a barrio or neighborhood in Buenos Aire where the streets are lined with color and life. While here dance the tango, eat Carne Asado in the world's best steakhouses, and walk up and down the streets of the beautiful neighborhood.

3. Salt Flat , Bolivia

For the photographers of the group, this is the best destination to see. The salt flats reflect the light and demonstrate nature's true beauty. The largest flat is named Salar de Uyuni located in the southwest corner of Bolivia near the Andes Mountains. While this trip does take a bit of a journey to reach it is worth it!!!

4. Medellin , Colombia

Easter Island is full of mystery and adventure. This small island off the coast of Chile has called people to visit it for years. The island has surfing, snorkeling, and many other ecotourist sites, but what could be more fun than a selfie with these mystical heads.

I remember how exciting summer was when I was a kid. I would just be eagerly waiting for school to end so that I could fly to some exotic location with my family for the summer. Or hang out with my friends every day. Or just lay around in bed or read, paint, draw, basically do whatever.
