Santiago will please anyone looking for a city experience.

Spot puffed frigates, penguins, giant tortoises, and more unique species in the Galapagos, and check out a natural wonder at Iguazú Falls in Argentina, a picturesque sight of cascading beauty. Be sure to pull up a chair at a traditional Argentinian steakhouse when in the region and enjoy a variety of quality cuts that are perfectly cooked and paired with savory chimichurri sauce. In Colombia, try the fantastic coffee, behold beautiful street art in Bogotá, and get a taste of quaint in Old Town Cartagena.
