V!VA List Latin America is a community-written compilation of 333 of the most inspiring adventures to go on, and unique opportunities to be had in Latin America. It was written by everyday adventurers, extreme sport experts, novice travelers and regular folks– young and old– across the world who crave all things Latin. These are first-hand stories about the places and the people that lit a passion within the authors, and inspired them to share their amazing experiences in this book. Many stories are included about well-known places such as Iguazú Falls and the Galápagos Islands, but the majority of places are off the trodden Gringo Trail. You’ll shop in the fish markets of coastal Chile, hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu and live with a Cuban family. You’ll dance tango in Argentina and sleep in the same room where Simón Bolívar once did nearly two hundred years ago. You will swim with sea lions, visit an underground salt mine carved into a cathedral and watch a game at Brazil’s most famous soccer stadium.
As soon as you flip the pages of V!VA List Latin America, you’ll begin an incredible journey into the mysterious and vibrant land of Latin America as experienced through the eyes of 140 writers and photographers from around the world and from all walks of life.
This book was not created in the same way as other books that you’ll see on your bookstore’s shelves. It’s unique - in many ways this book is both a social and publishing experiment, as it was born out of an online community at www.vivatravelguides.com/viva-list/
So pour yourself a cup of coffee or hot chocolate – these are the signature drinks of our favorite part of the world. Prepare to be transported to a land of emerald jungles, tranquil beaches, icy mountains, booming volcanoes and modern cities. Along the way, you’ll experience the unforgettable lands and friendly people of Latin America.
