South America

Insight Guide South America is the most illustrated, full-colour travel
guide to the continent on the market, and its lively narrative and
stunning images provide both inspiration and information to plan a
memorable trip to South America. The Best Of section highlights the
unmissable sights and experiences: from Peru's breathtaking citadel of
Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail - the number one South American trek on
most travellers' wishlists - to vibrant Rio with its famous Carnival and
beaches, sophisticated Buenos Aires, and the jungles of the Amazon,
home to the greatest biodiversity on the planet. As well as the
blockbuster sights, we cover the continent's lesser known but equally
fascinating countries such as Paraguay, Bolivia and Guyana.

Lively
features focus on South America's history and culture, while the Places
chapters show you where to go in South America, with beautiful
photography, insightful descriptions of all the main attractions, and
detailed, full-colour maps for easy orientation. The Travel Tips section
provides practical information for planning a trip and getting around
once you're there, along with our independent reviews of selected hotels
and restaurants in South America.
