9 Hidden Treasures of South America’s Colonial Towns

Potosi, Bolivia: It is definitely worthwhile to include Potosi, which was once the wealthiest town in the Americas, on your itinerary.

Ciudad Perdida, Colombia: It's a strenuous walk, but it's also quite rewarding because you get to see beautiful scenery along the route.

Chimborazo, Ecuador: This dormant volcano is the tallest peak in Ecuador, and because of its proximity to the equator, the summit of this mountain is also the one that is furthest from the centre of the planet.

Cabo Polonio, Uruguay: Both its laid-back vibe and its sea lion colony make Cabo Polonio famous. The animals can be seen lounging or playing in the water as you stroll along the beach.

Trujillo, Peru: This village is one of the many undiscovered gems in America that are worth a trip but aren't yet popular with tourists.

Cocora Valley, Colombia: In western Colombia, close to Salento, is the Cocora Valley. To see the vibrant homes and see the nearby coffee farms, Salento itself is worth a visit.

The Pantanal, Brazil: It is abundant with wildlife, and you can frequently encounter capibaras, macaws, anteaters, and even jaguars.

The Altiplano, Bolivia: Inland drainage in the central Andes known as the Altiplano encompasses sections of northern Chile, western Bolivia, southern Peru, and northwest Argentina.
