I can’t begin to tell you how excited I was to visit Iguazu Falls, one of the New7 Wonders of Nature.
Lying on the border of Argentina and Brazil, the falls are made up of between 150-300 smaller waterfalls, depending on the water level.
It has a total length of 2.7km, the longest drop is about 82m, and the average flow rate is 1756 cubic metres per second.

With an extra day in Buenos Aires, it was suggested that we could maybe, you know, just pop over to Uruguay for the day.
It’s a popular, short, cheap trip – and you get to tick a new country off your list, explore a new atmosphere, and enjoy a day out while you’re at it.
Oh Argentina, you won me over instantly.
With the beautiful architecture, delicious food, sultry wines, and sexy tango, I think Buenos Aires is a strong competitor for the City of Love – move over, Paris.

Luckily, when I was in Peru, I got to do just that.
The heart of the Inca’s agricultural setting and important ceremonial region, the Sacred Valley is not only beautiful, but an important part of Peru.
It’s incredible to walk around the valley and see the cut out farming steps along the mountainsides – these farming techniques of the Incans are still in practice and make for a great view.

Cusco, at an altitude of 3,400m, is mainly known as the gateway to the Inca Trail and other Incan sites, but it’s not only that.
Lake Titicaca is the biggest lake in South America, lying in both Peruvian and Bolivian regions.
It’s also one of the most fascinating places I’ve ever been.

At the Colca Canyon in Peru, with an altitude hitting 4800m (or 15,800ft), you will feel three things: cold, breathless, and speechless.
