subject: Argentina And Peru The Best Of The Latin America [print this page] The world is a very big place and there are thousands of cultures, peoples and places with each one having a different influence on the life of their people. We get to know about a different land and its people by traveling to places and not just by imagining them, and of course when we are outdoor we get to see and absorb the beauty of nature, the only thing that has the absolute power to pacify our minds, as man was conceived, born and raised in the lap of the nature.
Latin America is one of the beautiful but less explored regions of the World and hence is experiencing a major upward shift in the tourism industry. It has varied topography and a mixed demography which makes it an extremely interesting tourist destination. Argentina and Peru are two splendidly beautiful countries in the region with an endless list of attractions.
Argentina is Latin Americas second largest country and Worlds eighth largest country by size. This country has an extensively varied topography, it has the highest mountain in Latin America Mt. Aconcagau which rises up 6962m above sea level, where as in the Santa Cruz province, Argentina dips 105m below sea level. The Igauzu falls of Argentina are even higher than the world famous Niagara Falls. Argentina has gushing rivers, placid lakes and monstrous glaciers. The la Pampa region of Argentina is a vast swathe of agricultural plains where the Gauchos work the field in hundreds of adventurous ranches.
Argentina also has a volume of history, people from different regions of Europe blended with the indigenous mix form a diverse demography. This Latin American nation is also home to the ever popular dance form of Tango. The festivals, horse rides, wildlife tours, cuisine and the dynamic and modern city of Buenos Aires are the main elements that draw travelers from across the globe to Argentina.
With the help of an able and established travel company we can explore the great exotics and mysteries of South America in a luxurious and fashionable way. The Millennium Tours is a group tour organizer based in USA, they have a rich experience in Latin America and organize group tours to Argentina and Peru periodically.
Peru on the other hand proudly boasts of a vivid culture, rich history and some great natural phenomena. The former Spanish colony has some brilliant architectural symbols in the historic centre of Lima, the capital city. Peru is also home to some of the great mysteries of the world like the Machu Pichu and the Nazca Lines, both of which are UNESCO Heritage sites. The Incan rulers were on course of constructing a massive estate for their emperor Pachacuti in the early 15th century, the location chosen was sacred, atop the 2430m high mountains near the valley of Urubamba, they had to abandon the project owing to Spanish conquest and remnants remained untouched until early 20th century. This site now is a major international tourist attraction and has some unsolved mysteries surrounding it.
The Nazca Lines in the Southern Peru is another large question mark to many scientists and researchers, there are a hundreds of geoglyphs atop a plateau at a stretch of about 80 kilometers. The designs created on the Earth resemble animals and geometrical shapes while viewed from sky. Many believe that these designs were created to please the Gods, while there is another theory which states an astrological motive.
