🎵 Carlos Gardel, born on December 11, 1890, is an iconic figure in tango music whose birthplace is a subject of debate, with claims of Toulouse, France, or Tacuarembó, Uruguay. Raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Gardel, often called "El Zorzal Criollo" (The Creole Thrush), captivated audiences worldwide with his deep, emotive voice and charismatic stage presence, helping to globalize tango in the early 20th century. His extensive repertoire, featuring classics like "El día que me quieras" and "Mi Buenos Aires querido," remains beloved in Latin American music. Gardel's life was tragically cut short in a plane crash on June 24, 1935, but his enduring legacy solidifies his status as a cultural legend and symbol of Argentine identity.

🇧🇷 The Historic City Center of Salvador de Bahia in Brazil, also known as the "Pelourinho" (Portuguese for "Pillory") , is a historic neighborhood in western Salvador, Bahia. It was the city's center during the Portuguese colonial period and was named for the whipping post in its central plaza where enslaved people from Africa were publicly beaten as punishment for alleged infractions. The Historic Center is extremely rich in historical monuments dating from the 17th through the 19th centuries.

🇧🇷 The Amazon Theatre (Portuguese: Teatro Amazonas) is an opera house located in Manaus, in the heart of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil.

With more than 120 years old (built during the Belle Époque), it represents the city's heyday during the rubber boom. It was chosen by the magazine Vogue as one of the most beautiful opera houses in the world.

The Amazon Rubber Boom was an important part of the economic and social history of Brazil and Amazonian regions of neighboring countries, being related to the extraction and commercialization of rubber. Centered in the Amazon Basin, the boom resulted in a large expansion of European colonization in the area, attracting immigrant workers, generating wealth, causing cultural and social transformations, and wreaking havoc upon indigenous societies. The rubber boom occurred largely between 1879 and 1912. There was heightened rubber production and associated activities again from 1942 to 1945 during the Second World War.

🇨🇴 "San Andrés" is a coral island in the Caribbean Sea. Politically part of Colombia, and historically tied to the United Kingdom. The official languages of the department are Spanish, English, and San Andrés–Providencia Creole.

This Colombian archipelago is approximately 750 km (470 mi) north of the Colombian mainland.

In 2000, it was declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, named "Seaflower Biosphere Reserve", which not only includes the islands but also about 10% of the Caribbean Sea, amounting to a vast marine area of 300,000 km2 (120,000 sq mi). The purpose of this declaration is to ensure that the ecosystem, which is rich in biodiversity, is well preserved and conserved.

Surrounded by the warm Caribbean Sea, all of these features have made the island an "exotic holiday destination".

🇨🇴 "Cartagena" known as "Cartagena de Indias" is a city in Colombia. It was the first Spanish colony on the American continent and one of the first sanctuaries of freed African slaves in the Americas. It is currently populated by an ethnic mix representative of Colombia's own variety.

Cartagena, located on Colombia's northern coast and facing the Caribbean Sea, is the most visited city in the country by tourists. It gets extremely crowded in the December holidays and the holy week, when schools are out and most Colombians take their vacations.

The city has basically two main parts where tourists go: the walled colonial city ("ciudad amurallada"), which is truly amazing and has many fancy restaurants, clubs and hotels; and a long strip of hotel towers and condos fronting onto the beach, known as Bocagrande. It is also nice to visit the exclusive neighborhood of Castillogrande, filled with recently built condos, places to jog, and a quiet beach to soak up some sun.

🏄 🌊 🌴 🇧🇷 ☀️ 🏖️ Copacabana beach, located at the Atlantic shore, stretches from "Posto Dois" (lifeguard watchtower Two) to "Posto Seis" (lifeguard watchtower Six).. There are historic forts at both ends of Copacabana beach. Hotels, restaurants, bars, nightclubs and residential buildings dot the promenade facing Avenida Atlântica. On Sundays and holidays, one side of Avenida Atlântica is closed to cars, giving residents and tourists more space for activities along the beach.

Copacabana Beach plays host to millions of revellers during the annual New Year's Eve celebrations, and has been the official venue of Beach Volley During 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

The Copacabana promenade is a pavement landscape in large scale (4 kilometres long). It was rebuilt in 1970 and has used a black and white Portuguese pavement design since its origin in the 1930s: a geometric wave.

🇵🇪 Lima is the capital of Peru and its largest city.

Founded in 1535 by the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro, the modern city is a curious mix of the modern mega city with some 'islands of modernity', large but orderly slum areas and colonial architecture in the city center. Lima was the seat of the Spanish rule during 300 years, and as such it has wonderful churches, cloisters and monasteries that are worth a visit.

Lima is also the best place to try the wonderful Peruvian cuisine, which has a huge variety of ingredients from coast, mountain and Amazon regions. The cold sea current in front of Peru's large coast makes the sea very rich in fish and seafood, which have a great taste due to the special plankton they eat. Fish and seafood restaurants are therefore worth the time, and not expensive.

Lima is built upon a valley surrounded by an extremely arid desert. In the summer, the weather is usually beautiful, very warm and sunny, sometimes with rains around January. In the winter, the city is overcast and rainy for days at a time. The rain in the wintertime doesn't fall hard, but it gets everything wet. Temperature also falls to around 7-12 C⁰ (45-55⁰ F), which seems chillier when combined with the general dampness.

🇨🇱 ✈️ 😷 Chile Reopen Borders: The south american country has announced that it will begin accepting foreign tourists with strict entry requirements beginning October 1, after more than a year and a half of closed borders.

The country will allow only fully vaccinated tourists by air through the airports in Santiago, Iquique and Antofagasta. Travelers must satisfy the country’s entry requirements to be allowed in.

The entry requirements include the Travelers’ Affidavit, completed 72 hours prior to travel. The form, which can be found and filled out online, includes important information like medical history, previous travel history and contact information.

Visitors to Chile must also show proof of travel insurance coverage with a minimum of $30,000 and a COVID-19 coverage policy. A negative PCR test result performed within 72 hours prior to travel is also required.

Travelers should also upload their vaccination status to obtain the Chilean Ministry of Health’s Mobility Pass, found here. Travelers who miss this step cannot enter the country.

Lastly, all visitors to Chile must self-isolate for five days at the accommodation they choose, like a hotel or a private residence.

In Chile, travelers will have to navigate national and local curfews, wear face coverings in all urban areas, and accept that restrictions may change rapidly and disrupt their travel plans.

Chile closed its borders to nonessential travel in March as countries around the world were doing the same to stem the spread of coronavirus across borders. Only Chileans and residents have been able to enter since.

Chile has so far reported more than a half a million cases of COVID-19 and nearly 15,000 deaths. Reports peaked in June, with more than 6,000 cases a day, but have since declined to fewer than 2,000 a day — a level that La Tercera said still concerns some experts.

While traveling throughout Chile, travelers must also comply with a follow-up process, which consists of daily self-reporting of any possible symptoms, as well as their current locations and testing via email over a fourteen-day period.

According to Our World in Data, Chile has reported a cumulative 1.64 million confirmed case

🇦🇷 ✈️ 😷 Argentina Covid travel restrictions to be lifted as cases and deaths fall. Masks will no longer be required outdoors as government says country could be at ‘end of pandemic’.

Masks will no longer be required outdoors in Argentina as the country’s government announced the lifting of almost all Covid restrictions following a dramatic fall in Covid cases and deaths in recent months.

“If the numbers of coronavirus infections continue like this, we could say we are experiencing the end of the pandemic,” said presidential cabinet chief amid a flurry of measures including the return of football matches with stadiums at 50% capacity starting next month – just in time for the 3 October classic super-match between Argentina’s two longtime rivals Boca and River Plate teams.

Easing of rules would allow more economic, industrial and commercial activities in closed places, while borders would gradually reopen from this month, with all tourists allowed back in from November.

Every day life has gone into normal in the country. Buenos Aires, the capital city and main travel center is recovering its vibrant cultural life with events, nightlife, restaurants, and pubs returning to activity. In pre-pandemic times Buenos Aires Airport used to receive more than 4 million international tourists from all over the world every year.

Ease of Argentina Covid Travel restrictions road-map:

September 24: removal of isolation for Argentine citizens, foreign residents in Argentina and foreigners who come for work and are authorized by the immigration authority.
October 1: authorization for entry of foreigners from neighboring countries without isolation. In addition, opening of land borders at the request of local governors.
October 1 to November 1: progressive entry quota increase in all safe corridors, airports, ports and land.
November 1: authorization for entry of all foreigners.

🇦🇷 The Perito Moreno Glacier (Spanish: Glaciar Perito Moreno) is a glacier located in the Los Glaciares National Park in southwest Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. It is one of the most important tourist attractions in the Argentinian Patagonia.

The 250 km2 (97 sq mi) ice formation, 30 km (19 mi) in length, is one of 48 glaciers fed by the Southern Patagonian Ice Field located in the Andes system shared with Chile. This ice field is the world's third largest reserve of fresh water.

The Perito Moreno Glacier, located 78 kilometres (48 mi) from "El Calafate" city, was named after the explorer Francisco Moreno, a pioneer who studied the region in the 19th century.
