South America
Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru – Machu Pichu
In 2011, we decided to explore the South American continent. On our itinerary, we had Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Peru. We dedicated 18 days to visit this continent as a family. All the countries we visited are remarkable in their own right, and to compare them would be an atrocity. We were exposed to beautiful cultures and subjected to wonderful hospitality throughout our trip.

We visited Peru specially to see Machu Pichhu. Whether you’re a history buff, an architecture aficionado, or someone who loves to travel, Machu Pichhu is sure to be a favorite. For those who don’t know, it is a citadel in the Andes mountains. It was built by the Incas and speaks volumes about their civilization.
Getting to the fifteenth-century ruins entails a bus ride that takes about 20 minutes. Travelers who are more physically fit can even walk uphill, but it takes almost 90 minutes, we were told.
In Brazil, we visited Rio de Janeiro, especially to see Christ the Redeemer in person. We waited to see this structure erected in 1931.
