    • San Pedro de Atacama
      The village of San Pedro de Atacama stands at 2450 metres in the middle of one of the driest places in the world - the Atacama Desert - and is an ideal base for visiting the many nearby attractions.
    • Torres del Paine National Park
      Spanning both Chile and Argentina, Patagonia has always had a romantic, slightly unreal image, perpetuated by writers such as Bruce Chatwin (who came here in search of mythical monsters). This stunningly beautiful, wild and sparsely-populated land has an almost inexhaustible wealth of incredible natural phenomena, but the jewel in the Chilean crown is the Torres del Paine National Park, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.
    • Lauca National Park
      The Lauca National Park is northern Chile's natural treasure, a Global Biosphere Reserve that covers 137,883 hectares of the high plateau of the Tarapaca region.
    • Amazon Rainforest
      The Amazon Rainforest contains thousands of different species of birds, hundreds of reptiles, mammals, insects and countless plants and trees, many of which are unique to the region. Huge, lazy rivers flow into secret lakes, untouched over thousands of years and surrounded by the dense green vegetation of the jungle. It is the most breathtaking natural wilderness on the planet.
    • Cuenca Old Town
      The capital of Azuay province in the southern Ecuadorean Andes, Cuenca has become a popular destination on the backpackers' trail. The Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with colonial architecture, parks and plazas dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries, as well as cultural centres, museums and more recent buildings in the neocolonial style.
