Salsa, bossa nova, tango, merengue, marimba…Central America & South America are a region of music, movements and laughter. High up in the Andes, the low tone of Peruvian pipes envelopes the magnificent Inca fortress of Machu Picchu. Down by the sea, the checky residents of Brazil’s Rio de Janiero samba late into the night. The tango is more the taste in sophisticated Argentina, even on the plains of the Pampa. In Chile, home to both beautiful lakes and Atacama, the oldest and driest dessert on earth, the locals dance a mean merengue. And in the strange and wonderful Galapagos Islands, living testament to the world of Charles Darwin, the lapping of the sea make music all of its own. Let us show you the fiesta that is Central and South America.
