8 types of travellers: Which destinations in Latin America suit you?

Latin America Guide

4. The Nature-Lover

Typical characteristics

You wear trekking boots and a down jacket when you go to work in the city and you love practical tools such as the Swiss Army Knife. You hate organized tours and you dream of spending several weeks in the Andes, by yourself testing out your physical limits and meditating. Wildlife and mountains fascinate you and you can go for weeks without electricity and Internet connection. In fact, you sometimes prefer to turn off your cellphone while searching for your inner peace. Cities make you nervous and the only reason you would visit one is to take a warm shower and plan your next steps.

Places to visit

Latin America has a lot to offer for nature-lovers such as the Andes, the Amazon, Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, Chapada Diamantina or Pantanal in Brazil, Patagonia in Chile and Argentina and San Pedro de Atacama in Chile. Or how about some secluded beaches in Panama such as Playa Venao or the San Blas Islands?

Places to avoid

Big cities such as Lima, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires or Mexico City are likely to make you feel uncomfortable.
