Hispanic South America brings together some of the most dramatic and photogenic landscapes on the continent, combining the deserts and volcanoes of Chile, the mountains, historic cities and agricultural terraces of Peru, and the salt flats, high plateaus and Andean villages of Bolivia. Between the Pacific coastline, high-altitude cultivated fields, colonial architecture, urban centers and small mountain communities, each country presents its own light, shaped by dry air, the cold of high elevations and strong cultural contrasts.

This page brings together destinations from Chile, Peru and Bolivia to guide navigation between settings with very different atmospheres, landscapes and photographic possibilities.
