Sat in the surprisingly smart Holiday Inn opposite Santiago airport we had all day to reflect on our time in South America.
Ecuador wowed us with her volcanoes, wildlife and Colonial architecture; Bolivia left us breathless with its diversity from Altiplano to jungle via salt lakes and angry miners; We treked the Inca trail to Machu Picchu, felt the earth move and learnt to kite surf in Peru; Chile let us climb an active volcano to marvel at her jewelled lakes and sample Southern Hemisphere snowboarding; Argentina offered Patagonia and its amazing lamb, glaciers, more lakes and snowbaording, party life in Buenos Aires, rural life on an estancia and saved the best until last with Iguazu Falls; Uruguay gave us relaxation with friends in an impromptu visit; It was all rounded off in Brazil with gorgeous palm fringed beaches, reggae and the amazing Rio de Janeiro.
The one thing all these countries had in common was the friendliness of the poeple and warm welcome we received everywhere. We'll be back!
WE LOVE SOUTH AMERICA!!!
