I was sent to Latin
America for work to do a quality control, product development and ad-hoc tour
leading.
I arrived in October and left in February and, although the Southern
Hemisphere summer, I had to fill my backpack with my winter woolies as well
as summer dresses. The destination is so incredibly vast. Latin America has
the longest mountain range, the tallest waterfall, the direst desert, the
largest waterfall, and the highest navigable lake in the world. South America
has over 70 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
You can cruise the Amazon, hike in Patagonia, walk at altitude along the path
of the Incans to Machu Picchu, visit the salt flats in Bolivia, admire the
colourful houses in the neighborhood of La Boca in Buenos Aires, marvel at
the majestic Perito Moreno Glacier and finally, party in Rio for Carnival!
