남아메리카의 나라들 : South America Countries

남아메리카는 지리적으로 우리나라와 정반대편에 위치해서인지 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 1960년대 말에서 70년대 초에 브라질 이민이 시작되기도 하였으나 소수에 머믈렀고 그 후 아르헨티나에도 이민의 문호가 열려 가는 사람들이 있었다.

북미대륙의 남쪽에 위치한 거대한 대륙에 많은 나라가 있고 아름다운 자연환경이 많다. 여러나라의 풍광을 알아 보고자 한다.

“Marvelous city, full of a thousand charms,” sang Aurora Miranda, in a 1934 Carnival hit that’s now Rio de Janeiro’s anthem. To put this song to the test, each year as many people visit Rio as live there—riding cable cars up to Pão de Açúcar, and trams through Santa Teresa; going inside belle epoque palaces at Cinelândia, and pleasure palaces at Copacabana; climbing to the Rocinha favela (shanty town) by minivan, and to “Christ the Redeemer” by train; shouting samba lyrics at the Sambódromo parade grounds, and “gol!” at Maracanã soccer stadium. In any other city, this would be exceptional. In Rio, you still have 992 delights to go.

2.칠레 : Chile
Photo: Pedestrian and cyclist passing adobe church

The adobe, colonial-era Church of San Pedro dates to the early days of Catholicism in San Pedro de Atacama, but the village’s history stretches back much further. Thousands of years ago it was an oasis town in northern Chile’s dry highlands—and home to the Atacama culture, which flourished there. Today, the village hosts archaeologists and tourists seeking “otherworldly” local scenery such as salt flats, geysers, rock formations, and dark skies for stargazing.

Photo: Chile's Torres del Paine National Park
Torres del Paine Chile "was invented by a poet," according to Pablo Neruda, who might have had in mind the inspiring mountain vistas of Torres del Paine. The national park's jaw-dropping scenery includes not just glaciers and granite peaks but also lakes, forests, and open steppes. Outdoor enthusiasts worldwide dream of making a Patagonian pilgrimage and tackling the weeklong Paine Circuit, a trek around the massif.
Photo: A worker harvesting chardonnay grapes
Vineyard :Gathering grapes, such as this chardonnay variety, is a long-standing tradition at Cousiño Macul. The Chilean vineyard has been in the hands of its founding family since 1856, but winemaking in the area began centuries earlier. The Spanish crown granted conquistador Juan Jufré the Hacienda Macul in 1564, when he began to grow grapes in the ideal clime.
Photo: A tourist posing with Easter Island moai
Easter Island : Countless tourists have traveled to Easter Island—one of Earth’s most remote inhabited places, some 2,300 miles (3,700 kilometers) from the mainland—to see its mysterious moai and ask, why? So far, the nearly 900 stone faces haven’t answered, and scientists have been stumped. Experts think that Polynesian settlers arrived on the island around A.D. 1200 and began creating the moai soon afterward. They also began cutting down the island’s trees and shrubs, potentially unleashing an environmental disaster that eventually left the island hauntingly empty.
Photo: People waiting at a bus stop
Santiago: Santiago is the cosmopolitan capital of Chile, a nation in which nearly nine out of ten people live in urban areas. Four out of ten call Santiago home. The city boasts an enviable array of restaurants, museums, and cafés in which to while away the day. But wilderness isn’t far: Santiago is ringed by towering mountains that provide visitors and locals alike an easy escape.
Photo: A glacier spilling into a lake
Andean Glacier: A massive Andean glacier, part of the Southern Patagonian ice field, comes to a spectacular terminus in the waters of a Torres del Paine lake. Scientists say that nearly nine out of ten of the park’s glaciers are thinning or retreating. But other parts of Torres del Paine are doing better: Vegetation on once overgrazed lands has bounced back, as have the llama-like guanacos, which were near extinction.
Photo: Small, colorful fishing boats lying at anchor
San Antonio: Small boats lie at anchor in San Antonio, evoking a traditional fishing community. But much larger ships also dock here. This city has become Chile’s primary big-ship cargo port, moving an average of some 12 million tons of goods each year.

TORRES DEL PAINE NATIONAL PARK - CHILE

Presidential Palace, San Tiago: Guards stand watch outside La Moneda, the presidential palace in Santiago. Chile returned to democracy nearly two decades ago, but it continues to struggle with a painful past—thousands were arrested, tortured, or killed during the reign of Gen. Augusto Pinochet.
Photo: Mounted cowboy lassoing a steer
Cowboy: With practiced skill and natural flair a Chilean cowboy, or huaso, lassoes a steer without losing his traditional straw hat, known as a chupalla. Huasos occupy a beloved place in Chile’s culture, just as cowboys do in the U.S. Decked out in the traditional colorful ponchos called chamantos, they’re often seen in parades, rodeos, and other celebrations.
Photo: A gray fox standing near a cactus in the desert
Atacama desert: Sandwiched between the Andes and the ocean, the Atacama Desert is one of the world’s most arid ecosystems, home to many specially adapted animals found nowhere else. Some parts of the region may not get a drop of rain for years at a time.
Photo: Fruit vendor in Santiago
Fruit Cargo, San Tiago: Fresh fruits temp pedestrians on Alameda Bernardo O’Higgins, Santiago’s main thoroughfare, which was first laid out in 1541. The fruit is just one of the reasons that Santiago’s five million inhabitants often call the road Alameda de Delicias—“boulevard of delights.”
Photo: Germanic-style church overlooking city, lake, and mountains
Iglesia del Sagrado Corazon, Puerto Varas: The Iglesia del Sagrado Corazón overlooks the city of Puerto Varas, pristine Lake Llanquihue, and one of the Lake District’s stunning snowcapped volcanoes. The church, constructed during World War I, is modeled on the Marienkirche of Germany’s Black Forest and reveals Chile’s strong European roots. Most Chileans trace at least some of their ancestors back to Europe; only around 5 percent are indigenous peoples.
Photo: Sunset over mountains and lake
Torres del Paine: Sunset casts a rosy glow over granite peaks encircling a glacial lake in Torres del Paine National Park, Chile. Chile's prized jewel, the 598,000-acre (242,000-hectare) national park is a mosaic of landforms including soaring mountains, golden pampas, and grinding ice fields.At the southern tip of South America, the region of Patagonia includes parts of Argentina and Chile.
Photo: Glacier over lakeMoreno Glacier: Moreno Glacier rises above Lake Argentino as a rugged wall three miles (4.8 kilometers) wide and almost 200 feet (60 meters) tall. One of 47 massive ice fields in Argentine Patagonia's Glaciers National Park, this grinding, groaning force of nature covers a hundred square miles (260 square kilometers).Photo: Trees and waterfall under starry skyCopahue Provincial Park: Hundred-foot-tall (30-meter-tall) araucaria trees surrounding a waterfall reach for the stars in Argentina's Copahue Provincial Park. Living relics of the Jurassic period, these thousand-year-old giants stand as symbols of Patagonian tenacity in a landscape both severe and sublime.Photo: Seaside village backed by mountainsSettlements, like this twinkling village built between the mountains and the sea, are few and far between in Patagonia. The 260,000-square-mile (673,000-square-kilometer) region is so sparsely settled that population density is as low as one person per square mile in some areas.Photo: Lighthouse on rocky coastLighthouse on Patagonia Coast: A lone lighthouse stands guard on the Patagonia coast. Cold waters rushing in from Antarctica support a wide variety of life along Patagonia's southern coast, including sea lions, cormorants, and albatrosses.Photo: Rocky monuments under starry skyCopahue Rock Monument: The 69,930-acre (28,300-hectare) Copahue Provincial Park, on the eastern border of Chile, is home to prehistoric araucaria forests, vast prairies, snowy Andean peaks, picturesque lakes, and lunar-like landscapes of rock formations, shown here. The park sits in the massive collapsed caldera of Copahue Volcano.

5.에쿠아도르: Ecuador
Ecuador is the second-smallest country in South America, but its range of offerings is no less than astounding. In a day’s drive, you can journey from the Amazon Basin, across glaciated Andean volcanoes, down through tropical cloud forests and into the sunset on the balmy Pacific coast. One day you’ll pick through hand-woven wool sweaters at a chilly indigenous market in Otavalo; the next day you’ll be sweating while observing the howler monkeys in the Amazon jungles of the Oriente. For nature lovers, Ecuador is a dream, what with its exotic orchids and birds, bizarre jungle plants, strange insects, dripping tropical forests and the fearless animals that hop, wobble and swim around the unique, unforgettable Galápagos Islands.
