If you want a unique getaway for your vacation travel, head to South America. Offering a wide range of rich cultures and unique experiences, the continent makes it hard to pick a single destination. To make your choice easier, below are a few must-see countries.

Which South American Countries Should You Visit?

1. Argentina

Argentina offers a blend of European architecture and South American flair. The capital, Buenos Aires, is considered one of the most romantic cities in the continent.

With the country’s bustling tango scene, it won’t take long until you are drawn into the city’s nightlife and many dancing halls. Another must-see is the southern part of Patagonia, or Los Glaciares National Park, which has turquoise lakes and vast glaciers.

2. Chile

From incredible beaches and mountain ranges to diverse cities, this country has it all. Connecting various destinations with the Pan American highway, Chile offers an all-encompassing vacation trip for everyone.

You can explore Santiago’s history-rich streets and La Serena and Valdivia, charming cities famous for their wine and food. Don’t miss the Atacama, the driest desert in the world, and take a hike to the Andes to see landscapes that will put any postcard to shame.

3. Ecuador

With warm year-round weather and vast biodiverse nature, Ecuador is a must-see for adventure lovers. Quito brings a host of trendy bars and restaurants where you can indulge in local delicacies, including sweet Alfajors and refreshing Ceviches. Its historic town was the first selected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

You’re also a quick flight away from the Galapagos Islands, the focal point of Darwin’s Origin of Species. With the U.S. dollar as the country’s official currency, Ecuador is an easy starting point for vacation travel.
