Buenos Aires, Argentina<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/BLOG-FOTOS-21.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3311\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The swagger of this Argentine city is truly unique. Literally translated as good air because of&nbsp; its sailing winds, Buenos Aires was one of the richest cities in the world. The yesteryear riches of this once commercial hub have left an indelible mark. Grand avenues sit alongside quaint neighbourhoods, where locals tread the cobbled streets following the smell of <em>asado <\/em>(Argentine barbecue).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start your adventure with the birthplace of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.welcomeargentina.com\/tango\/history.html\">tango<\/a> in the squares of San Telmo. After, head to La Boca on the mouth of the river. Not only famed for its coloured houses, this intriguing part of Buenos Aires is the stomping ground for one of Argentina\u2019s biggest clubs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bocajuniors.com.ar\/?lang=en\">Boca Juniors<\/a>. If you crave a slower pace, meander through trendy Palermo. Its beautiful terraces, and street corner bars, serve as perfect hideouts for people watching. Grab a glass of Malbec, recline, and watch daily events unfurl in this enchanting neighbourhood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Argentine capital is also home to a myriad of cultural delights. Museo Xul Solar, Museo de la Pasi\u00f3n Boquense, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, and MALBA, easily feed the appetite of the hungriest culture vulture.&nbsp; <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_La_Paz_Bolivia\"><\/span>2. La Paz, Bolivia&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/BLOG-FOTOS-22.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3312\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Dirty, loud, brash &#8211; the capital of Bolivia is not for the faint of heart. The dizzying altitude of 3,640m above sea level, only adds to its rough reputation.&nbsp; In spite of this, many fall in love with the gritty streets and warmth of the <em>Pace\u00f1os <\/em>(residents of La Paz). Although known as a polarizing city, we think the world\u2019s highest capital is merely misunderstood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with a jaunt round the centre for an intense introduction to Andean life. Raucous buses whizz through traffic, while locals hike the slopes forking out from the main avenues. Visit the outrageously cheap markets for stalls overflowing with tropical fruit. Later, rub shoulders with locals in the market\u2019s restaurants for fish from lake Titicaca.&nbsp; Get to know Bolivia\u2019s more bohemian side in Sopocachi. The cafes, boutiques and jazz bars of this trendy hub fill are a world apart from the hectic centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re in a daring mood head to the even higher neighbouring city of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/travel\/2018\/oct\/17\/el-alto-bolivia-architecture-culture-la-paz\">El Alto<\/a>. The best and quickest way to get there is by cable car. Peer out the window at the snow capped peaks of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lapazlife.com\/illimani-mountain\/\">Illimani <\/a>looming over La Paz while you ascend. Touch down to dusty roads dotted with blue metal shacks &#8211; the homes of Bolivian witches. Don\u2019t worry they are a friendly bunch. These jolly women make a living telling fortunes and are highly revered in society.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Cartagena_de_Indias_Colombia\"><\/span>3. Cartagena de Indias, Colombia&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/BLOG-FOTOS-23.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3313\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Cartagena is a masterful blend of sleek skyscrapers and colonial squares. This gorgeous port city is also draped in tales of invasions and swashbuckling pirates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main attraction of this imperial port is its enchanting Old Town. Fenced in by over 13 km of&nbsp; stone walls, the UNESCO protected site is alive with bright yellow churches, romantic balconies, and smiling street vendors. During the day seek refuge from the searing temperatures in one of the city\u2019s magnificent cocktail bars. Due to the tropical humidity, the city waits until dusk to spring to life. Watch the sunset from perfectly placed bars before taking an evening stroll. Traverse the cobbled streets teeming with street performers and enjoying the cooler night air. End the evening with fresh local seafood and mounds of patacones (fried plantain).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sitting on the Caribbean coast, this dazzling city is a stone\u2019s throw from tropical paradises. Perfect for those looking to mix a city break with some of the best beaches in the world.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Lima_Peru\"><\/span>4. Lima, Peru<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/BLOG-FOTOS-24.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3314\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lima is an explosion of Andean colour, culinary delights, and pre-Inca ruins.&nbsp;The heart of Peru\u2019s capital buzzes with street vendors and hectic traffic. Whereas&nbsp;the areas nearer the sea harbour a slower approach to life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a taste of Lima leisure, head to the rather ritzy neighbourhood of Miraflores.&nbsp;A myriad of middle class hangouts of bars and cafes pepper this leafy, modern suburb. Stroll along its coast to see the swathes of surfers catching Pacific waves. After, follow the shoreline to the quaint neighbourhood of Barranco. This vibrant part of Lima strikes a perfect balance of trendy and traditional. For an authentically delicious helping of Peru&#8217;s national dish, look no further that the Canta Rana. Located in an old Casona (mansion), this exquisite restaurant is famed for its exceptional ceviche. Enjoy this piquant delight, while smartly dressed waiters zigzag through walls clad in football memorabilia. The word bizarre doesn\u2019t do it justice, but we wouldn\u2019t change it for the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walk off that lunch and get up close and personal with Peru\u2019s ancient past. A wander around the pyramids of Huaca Pucllana and Huaca Huallamarca, provide a fascinating insight of life before Spanish rule.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Rio_de_Janeiro_Brazil\"><\/span>5. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/BLOG-FOTOS-25.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3315\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The samba infused city of Rio de Janeiro has been seducing visitors since the 1940s. Set in rolling hills of lush forest and fringed with tropical beaches, this final addition to our list embodies the captivating allure of Brazil.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beautiful beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema serve as playgrounds for locals. Surfing, football and picnics are the name of the game when heading to the Brazilian seaside.&nbsp;Mingle with locals through a game of volleyball, or grab a zesty Caipirinha, recline and gaze out at glimmering seas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This coastline city is not just a beach haven. A range of outdoor activities are available: cycle near lakes, hike through the Tijuca rainforest or even hang glide over the colourful houses that dot the green hillside. The samba infused streets beat to an incessant rhythm throughout the year. However, the tempo hits full swing during <em>Carnaval.<\/em> The world\u2019s greatest party doesn\u2019t disappoint. The alleys and grand streets of Rio are splashed with colourful parades, beating drums and spellbinding dances from Friday to the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suffering from Latin wanderlust?
