Speak Spanish, dance to the Salsa,
do the samba and the rumba, watch
the football frenzy, sip Colombian
coffee and delve into the dark secrets
of voodoo and black magic in this
continent.
Home
to the ancient civilization
of the Incas - South America is
where's
the world's widest river flows.
Along it's course in the dense tropical
rain forest
the boa constrictors, pythons and anacondas slither
by. Jaguar and panthers stalk their prey in an overwhelming
silence and the little people make a place of their own
on the riverbanks.
An antithesis to this primal existence is the high profile
fast life style of the beautiful people in the cities.
This is where Peles and Maradonas learn to play
football. This is where elected leaders turn dictators.
Where ordinary people fight to save their environment
and tourists are bedazzled by the carnival fiesta.
