South America

South America doesn’t do “low-key.” This is the continent where you trek to Machu Picchu at sunrise, dance through Rio’s Carnival at midnight, and see glaciers and rainforests in the same trip. You can sip Malbec in Argentina, spot llamas in Peru, and get drenched at Iguazu Falls — sometimes all in one itinerary. Big landscapes, bold flavors, and bucket-list moments? Absolutely.

Best Time to Visit

Andean Region (Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador): May–September is the dry season, the best time for hiking and clear mountain views.

Southern Cone (Chile, Argentina, Uruguay): December–March is summer and ideal for Patagonia, wine country, and beach towns.

Amazon Rainforest: Best visited June–October when it’s drier and wildlife is easier to spot.

Brazil: December–March is hot and festive, perfect for beach lovers and Carnival-goers.

I wasn’t expecting much. I just needed dinner. 🍽️ Kome ended up being one of the best meals of the entire trip.

Wood-fired everything. A menu that actually makes you read it twice. A vibe in Pietermaai that feels nothing like a tourist restaurant and everything like somewhere locals actually go. I didn’t rush. I didn’t check my phone. I just ate, start to finish, and enjoyed every single second of it.

If you’re in Curaçao and you only have one nice dinner make it this one.

Renting a golf cart in Bimini was genuinely one of the best decisions we made the entire cruise, and if you have a stop there, I cannot recommend it enough.

✨ Off the ship and behind the wheel within minutes 
✨ Multiple beaches, food stops, and random pull-offs 
✨ Zero tour schedules, zero waiting on strangers 
✨ Just the island, at your own pace

Honest caveat: if you prefer a guided experience with everything planned out, a tour might suit you better. But if you like doing your own thing? This is it.

If you go to Bimini and don’t get conch salad… what are you even doing? 🐚

I’m not exaggerating when I say this ended up being one of my favorite parts of the whole trip. It’s a local staple, and after talking to enough people on the island, I realized fast, Bahamians have very strong opinions about where to get the best one.

So we made it a mission.

We tracked down the three spots that kept coming up over and over again, and I tried them all so you don’t have to guess.

Full breakdown is linked in bio. 🔗
