Colombia
The acclaimed novel "Love in the Time of Cholera" by Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez is wonderfully complex story of finding love in strange and unusual circumstances. While the city in the story that remains unidentified, the descriptions of Marquez and his own personal history led to the common conclusion that is Cartagena in Colombia.

From Cartagena, just a short drive from one side to the famous 'Lost City' of Ciudad Perdida, or the Tayrona National Park, offering wonderful opportunities walking wilderness area of South America.
Chile
The passionate prose of the prolific Chilean author Isabel Allende has been translated worldwide and, his first book – "The House of the Spirits" – became a beloved bestseller. The story is an epic story of the family of South American Trueba and graphics of their spiritual life romantic and historical searches, ultimately reaching their fate. Chile is home to some of the most spectacular landscapes, hikes and central Andes of South America will be the trip of a lifetime. You also can trek through Patagonia through the rugged terrain of the World Paine monumental and experience the infinite beauty of its glaciers and lakes. The narrowest country in South America, hiking is not confined to the mountains and more 4,000 kilometers of Pacific coastline to explore impressive too.
Brazil
Brazilian author Paulo Coelho is a household name and, although his novels are set around the world, many of the main protagonists retain a clear taste of South America. His unique style challenges the reader to more in a sense, but its wonderfully descriptive writing style, has secured him a loyal audience. A visit to Brazil by Paulo Coelho will take you on a journey where your imagination becomes your reality. Brazil occupies almost half the continent area, and hiking in South America's largest country can cover large remote jungles of the interior; trips to the mighty Amazon, endless miles of unspoilt beaches and of course the biggest and best festival in the world – Rio de Janeiro.
