South America offers much more than the Lost City of the Incas or Machu Picchu and the Brazilian beach of Copacabana. On this list, we present to you the regions of this continent that do not experience excessive fame. We focused on pristine nature, which tourists haven't seen yet. let's see which South American areas earned a place in our selection.
Semuc Ghampey, Guatemala
The area is difficult to reach, as it is located deep in the Guatemalan jungle, but once you reach your destination, you will forget all the problems. In the middle of unspoiled nature, there are a series of natural pools where you can refresh yourself.
Lencois Maranhenses National Park, Brazil
In the northeast of Brazil is the Lencois Maranhenses, in which a shallow basin of impermeable rock is covered in some places by extensive sand dunes. We recommend that you visit it between March and September, because that's when the view is the most beautiful.
Sacred Valley of the Incas, Peru
This valley connects the capital of Peru, Cusco, with the lost Inca city of Macchu Picchu. It is filled with a series of wonderful villages. Tourists' attention is mainly attracted by local markets.
