Stretching nearly 3 kilometres across, there are cascades as far as the eye can see. Either side of the river gives a different but equally magnificent perspective. From Argentina, you get a full overview of the waterfall system and get up close enough to feel the mist of the bigger, more powerful torrents. From the Brazilian side, it\u2019s a more intimate experience, allowing you to walk through the lush jungle to see the many small cascades \u2013 you\u2019ll see more rainbows than you\u2019ve ever seen before!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4776 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/machupicchu.jpg\" alt=\"Views of Machu Picchu\" width=\"625\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/machupicchu.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/machupicchu-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Machu Picchu<\/h3>\n<p>It was in 1911 that American explorer Hiram Bingham stumbled across Machu Picchu and bought it to the world\u2019s attention. Since then, these enigmatic, mountain-topped ruins have captured the imagination of many a traveller who has ventured high into Peru to set eyes on it. It may be one of the most iconic sights in the world but not much is really known about this 15<sup>th<\/sup> century Incan citadel, but when you\u2019re there gazing at it, you\u2019ll find you don\u2019t really care.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4782 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cartagena.jpg\" alt=\"View over Cartagena Old Town\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cartagena.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/cartagena-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Cartagena<\/h3>\n<p>Colombia\u2019s fairy-tale city, Cartagena sits bathed in the sunshine beside the warm seas of the Caribbean. Founded as a Spanish port, their first colony on the continent, today Cartagena\u2019s UNSECO-listed old town boasts some of South America\u2019s most beautiful colonial architecture. The cobbled streets are lined with brightly coloured buildings with balconies exploding with bougainvillea which are perfect for strolling and exude the perfect atmosphere; vibrant yet laidback. It\u2019s impossible to resist this city\u2019s charms.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4779 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/torresdelpaine.jpg\" alt=\"Patagonia's Torres del Paine\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/torresdelpaine.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/torresdelpaine-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Torres Del Paine<\/h3>\n<p>South America\u2019s national park par excellence, the Torres Del Paine encompasses the most spectacular features of the rock and ice wilderness that is Patagonia. On the Chilean side of the region, the park is centred around those famous granite pillars, the eponymous torres, but also boasts glaciers, turquoise lakes, lush pastures and forests. All of this magnificent nature can be easily explored and we recommend that you don\u2019t miss it!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4777\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/peritomorenoglacier.jpg\" alt=\"The magnificent Perito Moreno Glacier\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/peritomorenoglacier.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/peritomorenoglacier-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Perito Moreno Glacier<\/h3>\n<p>Part of Los Glaciares National Park, Perito Moreno is a 30-kilometre-long juggernaut of ice inching its way down its valley into the waters of Lago Argentino. Watching the glacier is a mesmerising experience. Endless creaks and rumbles echo around the valley, and you\u2019ll find yourself holding your breath in anticipation of the thunderous cracks that signal a huge chunk of ice collapsing down into the water of the lake. You can get up close to the 78 metres wall that makes up the glacier\u2019s terminus by boat, and even take a hike up on the ice.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4781\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/atacamadesert.jpg\" alt=\"The moon-like landscapes of the Atacama\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/atacamadesert.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/atacamadesert-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Atacama Desert<\/h3>\n<p>The driest place on earth, the Atacama Desert is an otherworldly and starkly beautiful place. There is so much to explore, from ancient cultures, moon-like landscapes and salt flats to geothermal wonders such as geysers and hot springs. For us, it\u2019s at night that it really comes into its own, as the Atacama is one of the best places on the planet to stargaze. Thanks to the lack of cloud cover and little light pollution, you can see breathtaking amounts of stars, even galaxies, with the naked eye and it\u2019s absolutely incredible.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4783\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/christtheredeemer.jpg\" alt=\"Corcovado Mountain\" width=\"625\" height=\"469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/christtheredeemer.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/christtheredeemer-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Christ the Redeemer<\/h3>\n<p>The iconic image of Brazil, Christ the Redeemer watches over the city of Rio from his perch atop Corcovado Mountain. This Art Deco statue was completed in 1931, and at 30 metres tall is visible across the city. You can ride up to the top of the Corcovado by tram, passing through the lush Tijuca Forest, and from Christ\u2019s feet get a breathtaking view over Rio, its beaches and its bays.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4780\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/amazonrainforest.jpg\" alt=\"Toucan in the Amazon\" width=\"625\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/amazonrainforest.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/amazonrainforest-300x211.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Amazon Rainforest<\/h3>\n<p>A lush, steamy, tree-filled expanse, the Amazon Rainforest is so huge it has its roots in nine countries. It is the largest and most biodiverse tropical rainforest in the world, and provides a home for over 16,000 species\u2026absolutely insane numbers we think you\u2019ll agree! Once you\u2019re in the Amazon it\u2019s all about adventure. Cruising the waterways, hiking virgin forest, meeting the people who call it home, the whole time you\u2019ll be on the lookout for wonderful wildlife like golden lion tamarins, toucans, sloths and anacondas.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4774\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/galapagosislands.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/galapagosislands.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/galapagosislands-300x191.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Galapagos Islands<\/h3>\n<p>It was these barren yet dramatic islands that helped Charles Darwin formulate his theory of natural selection as he stopped off on the Beagle in 1835. Why? Because of their utterly unique ecosystem. Nowhere else in the world will you meet marine iguanas and flightless cormorants, and as you explore the islands, you\u2019ll spot a whole load more species too. Isolated in the midst of the Pacific thousands of miles off of the coast of Ecuador, the Galapagos has managed to maintain a feeling of being the last frontier, so go and discover it for yourself.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4789\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/trennubes.jpg\" alt=\"Train travelling through the Andes\" width=\"625\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/trennubes.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/trennubes-300x294.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/trennubes-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/trennubes-50x50.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Tren de Las Nubes<\/h3>\n<p>One of the world\u2019s highest train journeys, the \u2018Tren de las Nubes\u2019 (Train to the Clouds for us non-hispanophones) journeys high into the Andes in the north of Argentina. Trundling over bridges and viaducts and through tunnels the train travels up to higher altitudes by spirals and zigzags to reach 4,220-metres altitude at La Polvorilla Viaduct. The journey is spectacular, the perfect showcase for some epic Andean landscapes \u2013 the Quebrada del Toro is particularly mesmerising with its ever-changing formations and multi-coloured rocks.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/brochures\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_campaign=top%10%south%america\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-4371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/brochure_btn2.jpg\" alt=\"Brochure button\" width=\"228\" height=\"144\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Georgia',serif; color: #333333;\">Wendy Wu Tours has a brand new programme of escorted tours to South America.
