Looking for your next vacation destination? Then it’s time to let your eyes wander south of the border. This doesn’t mean Michigan, Seattle, or New York! Let your eyes wander way down the map until you come to South America. By choosing to explore the far south over the near south, you will find a number of rewarding adventures waiting for you in Argentina, Ecuador, and Brazil.

In Argentina, you have the opportunity to experience tango – real tango – in the barrios of Buenos Aires. This surprisingly European capital city has fine dining, upscale shopping, and a collection of museums that span the centuries. You will also find that the favourable exchange rate with the Canadian Loonie lets you live it up without breaking the bank!

Crossing over to Ecuador, you are presented with a wonderful choice of beach or mountains. The mountains of Ecuador offer stunning volcanic trails and hiking opportunities free of snow thanks to the country’s position on the equator. If you choose the beach route, you have the Ruta del Sol with its world class surf breaks and the Galapagos Islands to explore.

Brazil also offers you multiple entertainment options. Rio de Janeiro is internationally renowned, but locals in the know are flocking to Fortaleza’s beaches in the north of the country. The rainforest offers eco-tourism as well as hidden sculptural installations and tribal villages. You can choose how rustic or how luxuriously you want to go with your trip, as most Brazilian tours are fully customizable.

Thus, why go looking for your next southern vacation destination in the United States? Let your eyes drift much further south in order to open up a world of destinations. Direct flights can be found from Vancouver or Toronto, with connecting service available from Canada’s other major cities to all points way south of the border.
