“There are certain scenes that would awe an atheist into belief without the help of other argument”
--Thomas Gray

T. G. says – It is hard to imagine a region with a more diverse topography: from the snow capped Andes, to high altitude deserts, to the formidable jungle of the Amazon, to sugar sand beaches. Combine this with sophisticated cities and ancient monuments and tombs. Central and South America has it all, wrapped up in the seductive sounds of the Samba.
