It may sound like magic, but it won't be the journey to South America that will have you spellbound—it'll be the people, culture, and land- scape that enchant you. Covering nearly 12% of the Earth's surface area, this mysteri- ous continent is intriguing in its untamed diversity. From the highlands and plateaus of the east to the Andes Mountains of the west, and the river plain where the mighty Amazon River roars, some of the most beautiful natural sights on the planet are concentrated here. The highest volcanoes in the world tower above Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina, while more than 2,000 species of butterflies keep some of the world's most rare and even yet-undiscovered flora and fauna company in the Amazonian jungle and Incan wilds.
