Argentina:
Land of Pope Francis, Maradona, and Lionel Messi, Argentina is intense but beguiling. The world-famous tango dance form was contributed to the world by Argentina. The eighth-most populated country in the world is known for its highest literacy rate in Latin America. Buenos Aires, the capital city is a major tourist attraction.

Bolivia:
Bolivia is a land that is still unheard of by the world. But that seems to be an advantage; it is a peaceful and uncomplicated part of Latin America. If you witness the mirror image of the sky on the ground at Salar de Uyuni, you will be spellbound. It is a salt flat, one of the most revered destinations of the country. But remember, the world’s dangerous road, the North Yungas Road is here. Bolivians love to celebrate, especially their history. Thus it is no wonder if you see Bolivians marching past five times in a row. They have a reason to celebrate, a history to remember and important leaders to honor. Lake Titicaca, Parque Nacional Madidi- a vast natural habitat, and the Cordillera Real- spot for trekking are other distinct places. Visit Sucre, the place Bolivia came into existence is a beautiful white city that should not be missed.
Food is as different as this country. Tarija wine and Llama tenderloin will be a great serve. Cochabamba and La Paz have restaurants where traditional cuisine is given a contemporary touch. Not to be missed!

Known to be statues of the ancestors who settled in Chile years ago, these massive stone structures look like pawns and horses ready for a chess match.
Colombia:
