We’re back with installment 2 of our “2 weeks in a continent series” on our podcast! This week is how to spend 2 weeks in South America!
While we all wish we had endless amounts of time to thoroughly explore this continent, if this is your first time exploring South America and you want to get the most out of it, or this is your once-in-a-lifetime experience, then Chris and I have 2 separate itineraries to choose from for you!
Whether you are here for the natural beauty of the Amazon Rainforest or the Galapagos Islands, or you want a mix of exciting cities, beaches, and coffee/wine regions, then these two 2 week itineraries for South America are a great way to get as much out of your trip as possible!
Which itinerary was your favorite? What would you do differently? Let us know in the comments or you can always reach us on Twitter @wwhoneymoon, Instagram @worldwidehoneymoon, or email [email protected].
