ARGENTINA



Located at the eastern southern part of South America, Argentina is a country rich in European influences particularly of architecture, art, and literature. Much of Argentina’s culture is heavily influenced by the Italians; however, when you reach Buenos Aires, it feels more like Paris than Rome.

CHILE



This narrow strip of land is sandwiched between the Andes mountain range and the Pacific Ocean. This 4300km stretch offers a breathtaking smorgasbord of natural beauty including deserts, beaches, glaciers, fjords, and rainforests. Museums offer a visual documentation of their heritage. If you have enough time, do visit Easter Islands, which is a boat ride away. Chile also offers amazing skiing destinations.

COLOMBIA 


Visit Colombia during the first half of the year to truly enjoy the sites sans the rainfall. Colombia offers a variety of sports activities including skiing, water skiing, fishing, boating, and golfing among others. Do visit the ancient walled-fortress city of Cartagena.
