For the adventurous, few places can rival South America. Marvel at the Amazons primeval allure. Enjoy Carnivale in Rio. Study the worlds oldest mummies at the San Miguel Archaeological Museum. Venture deep into the Brazilian jungles in search of rare wooly spider monkeys, which have speech patterns nearly identical to human beings. Or simply relax with a cocktail in hand as you listen to local musicians serenade you as you cruise the Chilean fjords aboard a catamaran.
