One-Year MBA Programs in South America

The subcontinent where Brazil is located is part of America, the second largest continent on the globe. With stunning natural beauty and serious social and economic problems, South America is always an option for Brazilians who want to make international trips, but do not intend to spend a lot. Traveling to South America, in fact, has been a tour alternative many times cheaper than traveling within Brazil itself. With good promotions, it is possible to go to Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, for example, spending the same amount or even less than a trip to the Brazilian Northeast.

With territory that corresponds to 12% of the Earth's surface, almost 400 million inhabitants (that is, around 6% of the world population) and 13 countries within its perimeter, South America has Brazil as its main representative , but nations like Argentina, Chile, Peru and Colombia are also very touristic and sought after by those who wish to travel to South America and learn more about the region.

Some of the main attractions of the continent are its beaches, especially those bathed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Rio de Janeiro and the Northeast are good options in Brazil; Cartagena and San Andrés are popular destinations in Colombia; Isla Margarita and Los Roques are two highly sought after islands in Venezuela, as well as the autonomous territories of Aruba and Curaçao, surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. But traveling to South America can mean seeing other natural beauty besides the beaches, like having the chance to go to the Atacama desert and the Andes in Chile; to Patagonia in Argentina; the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia; the Iguaçu Falls, the Amazon and the Pantanal in Brazil; Machu Picchu in Peru; the Cotopaxi volcano in Ecuador; etc.

With Portuguese, Spanish and French colonizations, the countries of South America have their main heritage in the languages ​​originated in these countries. The subcontinent is also marked by its biodiversity and the miscegenation of peoples, since it received more than 15 million European immigrants, many others from Africa and, also, by the presence of several indigenous tribes. For those planning to travel to South America, these are some of the most evident characteristics that are very much appreciated by tourists, especially for the natural charisma of the region's inhabitants. This, therefore, is a very striking point: even with various social and economic problems, South American countries are showing sympathy, hospitality and joy, being known worldwide for this.
