An introduction to South America
Nestled between the Caribbean, the South Pacific and the South Atlantic Oceans, South America is the wilder of the Americas and a Continent of superlatives.
It boasts the biggest rainforest, the tallest waterfall and some of the most remote islands. This area is also home to the capybara, the largest rodent in the world, as well as the anaconda- the world's longest snake. And of course there's the mighty Amazon, the biggest - and some would say most spectacular - river on the globe.
Central America is similarly spectacular, and although geographically part of North America, is made up of tropical countries that have much more in common with the less affluent South.
The Aztecs, Incas and Maya are the most common indigenous people of Central and South America. And the most common spoken languages are Spanish or Portuguese.
