10 Spectacular Landscapes in South America 

South America is a land of contrasts, and not only because of the social inequalities that, unfortunately, do not stop growing in many of their countries, but because of the varied landscapes that can be found throughout the territory: from virgin forests, until impressive glaciers, passing through super-arid deserts. . . Today in Vuela Viajes we want to move to South America to discover 10 of its most spectacular landscapes.

Of course, we apologize in advance for all the places that have remained in the pipeline. Would you like to join us? Los Roques, VenezuelaFirst of all, we want to talk about Los Roques, an archipelago of Venezuela that is located in the Caribbean Sea. Surprising for its ecological importance and, of course, for its beauty. And here it is possible to find lagoons, keys and white sand beaches and crystal clear waters of incredible colors. Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia From Venezuela we move to Bolivia to discover the Salar de Uyuni, the largest continuous and high salt desert in the world.

Located in the southwest of the country, in the department of Potosí, it is one of the main tourist destinations in Bolivia and, in fact, different salt hotels have been built on the banks of the salt flat. Laguna Colorada, Bolivia We continue in Bolivia to tell you about the Laguna Colorada, which is located in the Eduardo Abaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve, in the Potosí highlands. Surprised by the reddish color of its waters, which are rich in minerals. It is a breeding place for Andean flamingos. Perito Moreno Glacier, Argentina The Perito Moreno Glacier, an impressive mass of ice located in the Lago Argentino department of the province of Santa Cruz, in the Patagonia Region, could not be missing from this list. Each year, this glacier shows a surprising phenomenon: its ice mass advances causing the accumulation, rupture and detachment of gigantic ice blocks. Fernando de Noronha, Brazil Among the many landscapes of Brazil that are worth knowing, today we want to highlight Fernando de Noronha, an archipelago declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO due, among other things, to its delicate ecosystem. It belongs to the state of Pernambuco, and is located in the Atlantic Ocean, 545 kilometers from Recife. Iguazu Falls, Argentina and Brazil The Iguazú Falls are a group of waterfalls located on the Iguazú River, on the border between the Brazilian state of Paraná and the Argentine province of Misiones. They are, for many, the most spectacular cataracts on the planet.

Galapagos Islands, Ecuador We also want to talk about the Galapagos Islands, an archipelago of the Pacific Ocean located almost 1,000 kilometers off the coast of Ecuador, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The islands are known for the great variety of species that it houses, although they also surprise its landscapes. Torres del Paine, Chile In Chile we can also find many amazing landscapes. One of them is the Torres del Paine National Park, which offers a wide variety of natural environments: mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes. . . Desert of Atacama, Chile As it could not be otherwise, in Chile we must also highlight the Atacama Desert, considered as the most arid non-polar desert on the planet. Extending through Chile's Norte Grande, this eco-region is rich in metallic mineral resources. Caño Cristales, Colombia Finally, we want to talk about Caño Cristales, a Colombian river located in the Sierra de la Macarena, in the department of Meta, which is surprising because of the color of its waters. And it is that in its route different shades can be observed: yellow, green, black, blue, red and pink.
