looking for something more active, throw yourself off a giant sand
dune into a lake, or climb the highest mountain. Walk in the
tree-tops of the rainforest, at eye level with birds and monkeys,
dance in an Andean village square to a solo violin, or to techno
brega in a warehouse-sized club in Belem. Whatever South America

passion that it fires within you. In this era of countless websites
