Total number of countries visited – 15
Number of times we crossed the equator - 4
Top 5 trip highlights (in no particular order):
- gliding through the treetops in an aerial tram in the Costa Rican rainforest
- canoeing through the Amazon backwaters with a local guide
- visiting the Embera Indian village in Panama
- getting jungle survival tips in Manaus, Brazil
- taking in the gorgeous scenery of Northern Patagonia in Puerto Chacabuco, Chile
Most irritating part of the trip – finding out that we were not going to visit Turks and Caicos
Most overrated tourist attraction – Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio. It is extremely crowded at the top. You can get better views of the city from the top of Sugarloaf mountain. Also, there is more room to move around at Sugarloaf so it doesn’t feel so crowded. If you only have time to visit one attraction, go to Sugarloaf.
Number of photos taken – 3123
Number of whales seen – 6
Number of penguins seen – thousands and thousands
