Continents » South America
The southern half of the Western Hemisphere, South America is a massive area of
diverse landscapes between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Containing both the
massive Andean mountains that were once home to the Inca empire, and the vast
rainforests of the Amazon River plains, South America reaches from the equator
in the north to the Antarctic in the south. Colonized mainly by Spain and
Portugal 500 years ago, South America today has a strong Latin culture with
vibrant carnivals, soccer stars, famous beaches, and exciting contrasts between
the rich cities such as São Paulo or Santiago and the traditional Andean
villages or jungle tribes in the remote Chaco.
