Countries in South America are benefiting from great tourism increases. According to reports, South America received almost 67 million visitors last year coming from other countries, having Brazil lead the figure.
The country saw its tourism industry grow by over 7% in 2007, almost two percent over the global average which is indeed welcomed amongst property owners in Brazil.
A cruise to the dramatic continent of South America caters for a whole spectrum of travelling tastes. Rainforests for the naturalists, 500 year old ruins for the historians, shows for the artisans and remote vistas for the explorers. Machu Picchu, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires. These destinations need no introduction. From bustling capitals boasting revered statues to picturesque seaports steepe

In South America, the economies of several countries depend on the production and export of oil. Venezuela, the largest oil producer of any country in South America, produces about 2.8 million barrels a day. This puts it in the number eight position in the world of oil producers. South American oil also comes from other countries like Brazil that produces about 1.1 million barrels of oil a day. There are other oil producing countries in South America, but they do not produce enough to be ranked in the top twenty, internationally. Just because some of the South American countries do not produce enough oil to be ranked internationally, oil is still a vital part of their economies. Benefiting in two separate but important ways, the countries have oil readily available. Two examples of this ar

I've been called a commie in the past, and while that is not too far a stretch since I do have some Socialist leanings. However I'm not a supporter of the FARC. I am not a proponent of Marxism-Leninism as the FARC claim to be - mainly because of the changes to the movement Lenin made to make Communism work in Imperial Russia.

Holland America LIne announced plans for 2009 that involve 3 ships cruising their South American and Antarctica itineraries. Featuring new itineraries and more sailings than in the past, cruisers can choose from 18 cruises on ms Statendam, ms Prinsendam or flagship ms Amsterdam. Ranging from 13 to 68 days, and including spectacular scenic cruising through the fjords and glaciers of Chile, the new cruises offer the opportunity to visit some of the most remote sites in the world like Deception Island in Antarctica and Iguazú Falls, and experience two of the New Seven Wonders of the World chosen in a consumer poll in July: Machu Picchu in Peru and Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Holland America will also feature overnight stays in several ports, allowing guests more time to become immersed in local culture and traditions after embarking on these longer cruises.
The first time I heard the name ‘Ecuador’ was way back when I was a small child. I don’t really remember in what context it was mentioned, but since then I have known, that on this earth, there exists a place, called ECUADOR. Where it is, I had no idea. Of course as I grew up, I realized it was in South America but it continued to intrigue me as one of my childhood mysteries. Therefore it came as a surprise to me when I heard that I might be visiting this place for a shoot, in connection with the work I was doing. My profession is such that it gives me the opportunity to travel extensively, all around the world. 15th April 2007, was when I was supposed to go there. I started researching on the country, via pamphlets, and the internet of course, and the more I saw the more I wanted to visit.

BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Canadian lobster and tuna fisherman Everett Condon had never traveled further south than the United States until this year, when he spent his off-season going to tango shows and getting plastic surgery in Argentina.
Like thousands of others, mostly from the United States, Europe, and Canada, Condon was drawn to South America's attractive exchange rates and reputable doctors who are highly skilled due to a local rage for cosmetic surgery.
The 66-year-old signed up online for a face-lift, eye-lift, and chest reduction through the flashy Web site of a Buenos Aires medical tourism company.
"I've been thinking of this for a long time, but it's a lot more expensive in my country," said Condon, who had a nose job back home and then started looked for cheaper options to make himself look younger.
The Buenos Aires boob-job boom began after a 2002 financial collapse and currency devaluation made visiting the country cheaper. Since then, companies have sp

Argentina has some of the most diverse types of terrain, which includes snow-capped mountains, deserts, fertile river valleys, grassland and sandy beaches. Buenos Aires, the cosmopolitan capital city of Argentina, is a safe and clean city. It has the ambience of a European city.The Advantages of Learning Spanish ArgentinaMany people opt to join a Spanish language immersion program in a country where the people speak Spanish. Language immersion courses are considered to be the most effective method of learning a second language quickly. It involves learning by listening and speaking the second language. Learners use the second language to communicate, even if they have very limited skills. They are asked to avoid using their first language.If you learn Spanish Argentina, you will be immersed in the Spanish language and culture. You can speak Spanish in the

I have often wondered why more US companies do not make use of the economical resources of South America. That is, aside from illegal labor. The time zones are very similar. Jet lag is less of an issue and the language is not as large a barrier. It is a shorter flight in many cases and shipping is less difficult.Then I saw the editorial, "No Room for Entrepreneurs" by Mary Anastasia O'Grady in today's Wall Street Journal (may require a subscription). Using a combination of World Bank survey data and material from a talk by Carl Schramm who cites one of my favorite economists: Joseph Schumpeter, she exposes the real issue - fear. Ms. O'Grady's conclusion, and that of Schramm, is that Latin American governmental policies have been the biggest hindrance to entrepreneurial expansion. Taxes, paperwork, and corruption combine to make it very difficult to start a business. Ms. O'Grady points out that Schumpeter worried that a lack of stability would c

Virgilio Mauricio Viana, the environmental secretary of the state of Amazonas, says the state pushed Petrobras to carry out an independent environmental study with the local university, and then simplified the language into a document copied 5,000 times and distributed to locals.
Deep in the middle of the Amazonian rain forest, buses whisk men in orange work suits off to help lay down a pipeline that is today one of the region's most remote energy infrastructure projects.It's enough to make even the most moderate environmentalist blanch.But after years of opposition, a plan to transport gas 400 miles from its source at a clearing called Urucu, passing 80 species of rare orchids on its way to the Amazonas state capital of Manaus, has been met with reserved praise, even from hard-core activists.The project by the Brazilian state-controlled company Petrobras is emerging as a model for reducing environmental and social impact, say many observers. And it comes as dozens of other oil companies are looking to explore an expanse that, while among the world's most biologically diverse, also happens to be the largest unexplored region with hydrocarbon potential after Antarctica. Fine balance"Prior to the discovery at Urucu, all petroleum produced in South Americ
project proposes to carry gas from Venezuela's offshore reserves through Brazil to Argentina, with branches extending to Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay — a 5,600-mile stretch that would be one of the longest gas pipelines ever built.
Plans for a natural gas pipeline stretching from Venezuela to Argentina are frozen because of a lack of political will among the continent's leaders, President Hugo Chavez said Friday. Chavez has championed the pipeline proposal as a means of satisfying the continent's energy requirements for decades to come. The project proposes to carry gas from Venezuela's offshore reserves through Brazil to Argentina, with branches extending to Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay — a 5,600-mile stretch that would be one of the longest gas pipelines ever built. But the project has met with skepticism from energy experts who say it hinges upon political goodwill because it faces economic, environmental and technological challenges.Via: ChronBlogalaxia: Sudamerica,ProyectosTechnorati: Venezuela, Uruguay, Bolivia, Paraguay, Chavez, Brasil, Argentina Advertise on The ENERGY DATA WAREHOUSEwww.BajaeNergyBLOG.com

Venezuela continues negotiations with major oil companies that have withdrawn from the nation in the face of President Hugo Chavez's nationalization of the industry, but will not back down from insistence on Venezuelan control, its ambassador to the United States said in Houston today. Venezuela will hold the majority control in upstream operations, Ambassador Bernardo Alvarez said in a meeting with the Chronicle editorial board. "We want partnerships with private companies, but with that rule." Alvarez also said he does not believe the United States will attempt to confiscate Venezuelan assets in this country, including five refineries, as compensation for oil company assets in Venezuela. He hopes his country and the companies involved will reach agreement. Last month, Houston-based ConocoPhillips and Irving-based Exxon Mobil refused to accept new working terms for their Venezuelan operations. Venezuela's national oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela, known as PDVSA, absorbed their
By SHANE ROMIG, Associated Press WriterLOS ESTEROS DEL IBERA, Argentina - The American multimillionaire who founded the North Face and Esprit clothing lines says he is trying to save the planet by buying bits of it. First Douglas Tompkins purchased a huge swath of southern Chile, and now he's hoping to save the northeast wetlands of neighboring Argentina.He has snapped up more than half a million acres of the Esteros del Ibera, a vast Argentine marshland teeming with wildlife.Tompkins, 64, is a hero to some for his environmental stewardship. Others resent his land purchases as a foreign challenge to their national patrimony.In an interview with The Associated Press, Tompkins said industrialized agriculture is chewing up big chunks of Argentina's fragile marshland and savanna, and that essential topsoil is disappearing as a result."Everywhere I look here in Argentina I see massive abuse of the soil ... just like what happened in the U.S. 20 or 30 years ago," he said.The rest of the st
The Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia has taken root in South America, fostering a well-financed force of Islamist radicals. From its Western base in a remote region divided by the borders of Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina known as the Tri-border, or the Triple Frontier, Hezbollah has mined the frustrations of many Muslims among about 25,000 Arab residents whose families immigrated mainly from Lebanon.An investigation by Telemundo and NBC News has uncovered details of an extensive smuggling network run by Hezbollah. The operation funnels large sums of money to militia leaders in the Middle East and finances training camps, propaganda operations and bomb attacks in South America, according to U.S. and South American officials. U.S. officials fear that poorly patrolled borders and rampant corruption in the Tri-border region could make it easy for Hezbollah terrorists to infiltrate the southern U.S. border. In full
