South America

South America is the worlds fourth largest continent and includes twelve countries and three territories.

Fascinating, a continent of extremes and historical cultures, South America's countries are often on the list of those looking to explore the world.

Think of South America and you probably think of the Amazon and the Andes. The continent is crossed by the Equator, bisecting Brazil, Columbia and Ecuador, and the Tropic of Capricorn which passes through Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Chile.

South America is certainly a continent of extreme climates from the tropical rain forests of the north to the freezing winds towards the Southern Ocean in the South.
