Filed under Adventure Travels, World's Best Destinations
South America can neither be described in one sentence nor portrayed in one photograph. The landscapes are breathlessly stunning and the flora and fauna are incredibly diverse. But South America is more than just an ecological destination. There is ethnic diversity, cultural peculiarities, and culinary variety.
Each nation in South America has its own unique history. And each vibrant city offers an exemplary experience. But for an adventure travel in South America, it is recommended that the modern cities be avoided. In fact, there are five places where visitors can find the most unforgettable adventure travel. If you a tour of South America, you can’t miss these places and forgo the adventures that can change your life.
Angel Falls
The Angel Falls in Venezuela, the highest waterfall in the world at a height of almost 3,000 feet, is a jungle adventure. The dense forests, which kept Angel Falls in secret until in 1935, also protected an exotic flora and fauna. Hike through the forests, admire the glory of Angel Falls, and stand on the plateau, called Devil’s Mountain, where the rushing waters plunge in free fall.
Patagonia
The Patagonia region can be accessed from either Argentina or Chile. With its Perito Moreno Glacier and its plateau that clasps the Andes mountain range, the Patagonia promises an eco-adventure. The extreme climate allowed a diverse landscape that has been waiting for you to discover. Submerge your hand into the crystal blue waters of the Ephemeral Lakes. Meet rarest animal species at the Torres Del Paine National Park and at the Punta Tombo. And be hypnotized in the middle of the petrified forest of Central Steppes.
Galapagos
The Galapagos is a cluster of islands located to the west of Ecuador. These volcanic islands cradled the world’s most diverse species of plants and animals. It has been declared as a World Heritage Site and it presents an amazing aquatic adventure. You can dive and snorkel to find sea lions, morays, and more.
Amazonia
The Amazonia is an immense rainforest shared by the countries of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, and Venezuela. A significant part of the total area of 700 million hectares is not yet explored thoroughly, giving rise to the belief that many animal and plant species remain undiscovered. When you go the Amazonia, prepare for a safari adventure. You will be passing the night in jungle lodges, you will navigate the Amazon River, and you will listen to the legends of exotic animals.
Inca Empire
And finally, the Inca Empire, which is located in Peru, awaits you. The Inca Empire will take you to an incredible archaeological adventure where the mystery of the ancient Incan culture and the wonder of its architecture leave you amazed. Let your hands caress the thousands-old artifacts and wonder about the determination of the people who made them. Let your feet reach the temple and imagine yourself as a blessed Incan warrior.

Nifty is the word I would use to describe this.
South America can neither be described in one sentence nor portrayed in one photograph.
Just to point out that you have forgotten Peru in your list of Amazonian countries.
