The dense Amazon rainforest. The jagged spires of the Andes Mountains. Tropical beaches. Towering waterfalls. With this kind of nature all around, it’s no wonder why Central and South America have become nearly synonymous with ecotours. Shall we start with the cloud forests and rich collection of birds and animals in Costa Rica? If you want real South American biodiversity, Ecuador’s Galapagos Islands boasts enough unique wildlife to have kept Darwin busy for years. If it’s ancient civilizations you want to see, try the Mayan ruins hidden in the jungles of Guatemala or Peru’s Machu Picchu, a stunningly complex settlement abandoned more than 400 years ago. No one knows why the Incas suddenly pulled up stakes, but we can tell you this: We wouldn’t mind hopping the next plane down to try and figure it out.
