    Why Cruise Travelers Like South America Cruises the Best

    South America is a continent like no other. Not only can you visit exotic cruise ports, you can also gain valuable once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Therefore, South America cruises are popular choices for cruise travel.

    Fun and Inviting Ports

    One of the reasons why people like South America is because it features a number of historic and interesting ports. These ports include fun and exciting destinations such as Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Montevideo, Santiago (Valparaiso), Santos (Sao Paolo), and Lima. Therefore, these ports make up some of the main reasons to choose a cruise to South America.




    That is why South America cruises are currently being booked by a large number of travelers. Travelers have reviewed the attractions featured in South America, and have noted the following about each South American destination.

    Buenos Aires

    Buenos Aires, Argentina lures travelers with its South American flair and European traditions. The streets feature broad boulevards and a number of avant-garde museums. The friendly and stylish residents, known as porteños, are seen in art-inspired barrios, thereby making this a port that is both stylish and traditional. It is not surprising that this city has been called the Paris of South America.

    Rio de Janeiro

    Rio de Janeiro, Brazil has been voted as one of the best places to visit in South America. The best time to visit this South American locale is between the months of December and March. That is when the weather is temperate and the sun nicely warms the beaches.




    However, the city’s mesmeric samba beats and beautiful views can be experienced throughout the year. If you want to experience carnival, you need to book one of the South America cruises that features a February itinerary.

    Santiago

    Santiago (Valparaiso), Chile is another must-see South American port. You cannot help but be fascinated by the various architectural offerings. Neoclassical architecture is featured as well as European influences and modern skyscrapers. The best time to see Santiago is between September and November or from March to May. During these travel times, the crowds are thinner and the destination is sunny and temperate.

    Lima

    You will find that Lima is one port that is truly amazing. In fact, you might consider Lima one of the continent’s best kept travel secrets. Cruise guests are rewarded with colonial architecture while foodies will love the Peruvian cuisine. South America cruises regularly feature Lima on their schedules, as it is a destination you won’t want to miss.

    Montevideo

    The capital of Uruguay, Montevideo, sits along the Montevideo Bay. Traveling around the Plaza de la Independencia leads to Ciudad Vieja – an area that features art deco architecture, colonial houses, and Mercado del Puerto – an old market port.

    Santos

    Santos, which is a municipality in Sao Paulo, was established in 1546. Banana harvesting takes place in this locale, which lies partly on the island of Sao Vicente.

    The Galapagos Islands

    Another destination worth noting is the Galapagos Islands. This place of enchantment features colorful animals ranging from giant sea tortoises to penguins. If you want to see some unique wildlife, you will want to make sure your cruise includes the Galapagos Islands on its travel itinerary.
