The Plaza de Mayo can be considered the tourist center of Buenos Aires because it has many major tourist attractions and various meaningful buildings such as the presidential palace but it is usually crowded with other tourists!! It is difficult to take good photos!! There are many beautiful cafes around the square. I recommend everyone to stop and watch and enjoy these impressive architectural works. And the subway "Plaza de Mayo" station is only 15 seconds walk from the square. It is quite convenient to travel. The Plaza May is considered a tourist center in Buenos Aires.

The obelisk in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is located in the heart of the entire city, that is, the center of the city, and it is still very commemorative. If you are interested in history, don't miss it here.

Saxewaman is located on a mountaintop, and its historical position is comparable to Machu Picchu, but its reputation is relatively small. It is still very beautiful to stand in Saxewaman and look out over the city

Cusco's solar temple has a long history. Cusco's solar temple (QORIKANCHA) ticket is 15 pesos. There are many tourists, all using headphones to listen to the explanation, although there are many people without noise. It is very large inside, basically introducing religious content, Inca culture, Spanish colonial development and other content. Among them, Cusco was the center of Inca. There is also an introduction to the Inca period architecture. The whole large stone piles up with tight seams, no gaps, showing the original stone piles. The courtyard is large and there is a well in the middle. The paintings on the wall show ancient people's understanding and belief in the sun. It takes more than an hour to look closely.

Batman’s alley is a great place for people who are looking for cool shots. Perfect for those who like street art. The invite new artists from time to time and now there’s even a mural dedicated to The Boys!

The old town of Quito is worth a visit. Many attractions such as the National Oath Temple, the former residence of Columbus, the Presidential Palace, the Church of Jesus of Kongpaña, and the Independence Square are all here. The tickets are not expensive. The decoration in the church is very shocking.

Plaza de la Independencia The central square in Quito is not very big, not empty, at a glance, but a park with a monument of independent heroes in the middle, surrounded by many trees and long rafts, many locals sitting leisurely. Its side is Palacio de Carondelet. The presidents of Ecuador since independence have been here, and on the other side of the square is the cathedral of Ecuador.

There is a restaurant in front of the former Inca temple in Yacaprana, where you enjoy high-end Peruvian cuisine on an ultra-high level platform with this magnificent backdrop when you are in the evening. Not cheap, but really worth every penny.

开心
The weapons square in Santiago, the capital of Chile, was a bit scary to see the Raiders before going there. It was said that there were riots, thieves, robberies, etc., so I was very cautious. I said that the mobile phone and camera could not be exposed. It made our hearts panic. When we got there, it was really the mobile phone that we didn’t dare to take it out. Seeing that the church is very beautiful, took out a photo and quickly collected the pocket. Later, we entered the church and circled the square, and it didn't feel as terrible as it was written on the Internet! Then I saw that there was someone on the balcony of the museum next to it. We also went in. The museum is free, but the bag needs to be stored. You can use the kind of locker that looks like a dollar coin to store by yourself. Go upstairs and there is a room that can climb to the balcony of the clock tower on the top floor. But you need to wait for it to be about 20 minutes, and you can take a group of about 6 people at a time, because the stairs are very narrow and can only be passed by one person. When you get to the top, you can take the last picture overlooking the church. It feels good.
