Peru is a beautiful country with a little bit of everything – rainforests, deserts, mountains and lakes. The beautiful landscape I found there on my trip in 2010 served as a wonderful backdrop to the history of this incredible nation that was once the center of the Incan Empire.
South America presents a seamlessly blended array of exotic locales, great nightlife, lush rainforests, snowy mountain ranges, stunning waterfalls, tropical beaches, windswept plains, modern urban cities and the remains of lost civilizations at every turn. Cruising through South America offers the experience of a lifetime with exciting ports of call like Rio de Janeiro and Santiago. Just remember that the seasons are reversed in the Southern Hemisphere, so when it’s cold in December, January and February up north… it’s summer in South America and peak cruise season.
When most people think of cruising they usually think of the Caribbean or the Mediterranean, but cruises sail all over the world – from glaciers in Antarctica to deserts in Dubai. That is why I’m so glad that we can feature South America in this month’s issue of The Current.
