Head through Cartagena's UNESCO Old Town to photograph colorful colonial buildings, then capture the traditional Mola textiles made by the Guna people on San Blas Islands. In Medellín, you'll document Comuna 13's street art scene and the Afro-Caribbean vibe of Bocas del Toro with its reggae music.

In Lima's historic center, photograph UNESCO-listed Plaza Mayor and the Cathedral's baroque facade, then capture the ancient Nazca Lines from the viewing tower. Near Lake Umaya, shoot the pre-Inca circular burial towers of Sillustani, and in Arequipa frame white sillar buildings.

See Christ the Redeemer from Corcovado peak and capture views of Sugarloaf Mountain, then wander through Santa Teresa's bohemian streets in Rio. Attend a traditional Quechua ritual with a shaman at Sacsayhuaman and check out Buenos Aires' La Boca district for tango culture.

At Moray, you'll see these circular terraces dropping down 12 levels where the Incas tested different crops in various temperatures. In Chinchero, local artisans show you how they make textiles with natural dyes using old techniques, all set against colonial buildings and Inca stonework.

Photograph giant tortoises on Santa Cruz Island and marine life at 143-meter Kicker Rock in the Galapagos.
