Top 10 Latin American Countries to Visit


these destinations will have you feeling
when Honda welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for the top 10 latin-american countries
to visit for this list we’re focusing on
countries only not specific cities that
are culturally considered part of Latin
America
number 10 Dominican Republic if you’re
tired of going on the same old vacation
then pack up your suitcase and
experience the cultural music of latin
america dominican style here’s what
you’ll need an open mind and if you
appreciate the value of human
interaction well then you’ll fit in just
fine as the most popular Caribbean
destination the Dominican Republic sees
visitors often hitting up the usual
points of interest on the island of
Hispaniola and one should definitely
check them out but here’s a tip hit up a
baseball game walk the streets and find
a local restaurant to learn a thing
about how the Dominicans really roll
number 9 Bolivia
if you’re not quite keen on the party
aspect of a holiday then perhaps you’d
enjoy a historical education from the
indigenous people of Bolivia many will
recognize the name la higuera as the
final destination of one Che Guevara
however a more fitting cultural lesson
in Bolivia would be to explore the salt
flats or perhaps the stunning Lake
Titicaca rich in heritage including the
must-see location of La Paz visitors can
expect plenty of physical activity given
the Bolivian landscape and if planned
right you’ll surely find the ideal
location to chill and let your mind
process the thrill of it all number 8
Colombia here’s an absolutely stunning
latin-american country that tends to get
a bad rap but just wait until you’ve
seen the walled city of Cartagena and
experience how Colombians share the
collective wealth when it comes to their
dynamic landscapes and cityscapes in
Medellin one can take a ride on a
popular metro cable or stay put on the
ground at laguna de guatape a and Parque
explora whatever your preference plan
enough time in order to roam from city
to city especially considering the
scenic elements of such places as Bogota
and salento but also the day-to-day
urban excitement of this magnificently
developing country number seven Chile
with about 18 million inhabitants this
country stretches over 20
600 miles on the west side of South
America while bordering the Pacific
Ocean so remember to bring your shorts
with that being said however the inland
provides a vast array of adventure
opportunities from toradol by a national
park or altiplano lagoons of San Pedro
de Atacama if you really want to do
something truly unique then you’ll set
sail off to the mythical Easter Island
for practical purposes though Santiago
is the way to go as the Central Valley
will give you a fix of modern Chile
number six Costa Rica if you don’t
consider yourself to be a zip liner this
country’s gorgeous scenery will surely
make you reconsider as one of the most
rapidly developing countries of Latin
America Costa Rica affords a variety of
outdoor fun whether it’s the la fortuna
waterfall or gaucho National Park but
you’ll also want to explore the sights
of its capital San Jose a city that will
properly blow your mind with its
architectural innovations and well the
general way of life there’s much
territory to cover overall of course and
you just may find the perfect finale to
your trip at Port Aventura in El Guapo
day number five cuba upon touchdown cuba
will challenge your preconceived notions
of life itself as this country’s vibrant
culture and charismatic personalities
present an alternative to unnecessary
stress of course many tourists will
arrive with their own expectations of
places like Havana thanks to the movies
and such but there’s really no
substitute for just winging it and
exploring Cuba with a fresh set of eyes
stop I’ve added a row beach for sure and
definitely put down some rum in Old
Havana but remember to engage with the
locals and find out what makes Cuba tick
as well number four Peru historically
speaking there’s a giant elephant in the
room when it comes to Peruvian travel
plans and that is none other than Machu
Picchu a 15th century Inca site located
a few steps off the beaten path you’ll
gain some serious travel cred for making
the trip but if you’re feeling
conservative both cusco and the capital
city of Lima will suit you just fine in
the former the central historical
functions as the country’s tourist focal
point and in the latter one may decide
to experience all that is miraflores for
a broader view of the city number three
Argentina
a neighbor to Chile this sunny region is
the largest spanish-speaking country in
the world and with that being said we’ll
have plenty of options for city-dwelling
along with must-see natural wonders like
the iguazu falls garganta del diablo and
the perito moreno glaciar there’s no end
to the possibilities so once you land in
Buenos Aires and set up shop somewhere
in puerto madero you’ll soon realize
that a couple two or three days of
shuffling around just won’t be enough as
Cordoba and Rosario offer an equal
amount of mind broadening opportunities
number 2 Brazil the word epic gets
thrown around quite a bit
but with this massive landscape that’s
exactly what you’re getting
of course there’s Rio the host of the
celebrated carnival festival which
itself alone will provide for a lifetime
of memories but here’s what you’ll want
to do in Brazil turn off your phone and
follow the yellow brick road across this
majestic land in fact you might even
want to make your own motorcycle diaries
actually circle the entire damn
continent and not skip out on Brazil
like the movie did put yourself in a
Brazilian state of mind and set forth
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
now
number one Mexico hmm what to do in
Mexico some will party some will
appreciate a fine resort but for the
average traveler less interested in
constant partying or poolside naps let
us suggest the urban landscapes of
Jalisco and Mexico City now that’s some
real Mexico there not to say each region
doesn’t have plenty offer
we’re just saying if you want to go all
in on your Mexican adventure then kick
it off right in distrito federal and
work your way towards the beaches from
coast to coast it might sound like a lot
but you’ll certainly be up for numerous
trips after your first do you agree with
