Romance is Alive!
Getting engaged is one of those unique moments in your life that you want to make as memorable as possible – which is why popping the question while on a South America vacation package could be the perfect solution. In fact, many people propose while on vacation with their other half, making it the most popular way to get engaged. With so many romantic destinations to choose from in Latin America, it can be tricky deciding where to do the deed. Here are the 5 best romantic places to propose in Latin America!
Romantic Machu Picchu
Caño Cristales, Colombia
A Colombia tour might not be the first country you think of to propose to your loved one. However, the country has some stunning locations and is still relatively less-visited than its South American counterparts. Caño Cristales is a beautiful river just a 1 hour flight away from the bustling capital, Bogota, and it’s called the ‘liquid rainbow’ due to its astounding array of colors, with subaquatic reds, yellows, and greens that appear during the months of July to October each year. If you are looking for an off-the-beaten-path romantic place to propose in astounding nature, Caños Cristales could be the perfect option on your extremely special Colombia tour packages!

Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia
Another truly unique South American gem is The Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia. On your Bolivia tours, the Bolivian salt flats are one of the country’s most iconic destinations to visit on South American tour packages. The world’s most extensive salt flats in Bolivia are what was left behind by a prehistoric, high-altitude lake. The size of the salt flats is approximately 11,000 square kilometers, which means you are guaranteed to find a remote and romantic spot for the big "Will You?" and enjoy a unique, picturesque setting and spectacular sunset as the encore! An incredible place and one of the best places for marriage proposal!

A Cenote in Tulum
The Yucatan Peninsula is literally dotted with cenotes. These stunning freshwater sinkholes make for some of the best, secluded, romantic destinations in the whole of Mexico! Avoid the super-star cenotes such as El Gran Cenote and Dos Ojos and head to the lesser-known, water-lily-decorated Nicte-Ha Cenote where you and your loved one are surely to be the only ones present. This stunningly gorgeous setting is virtually guaranteed of a "yes" due to its sheer resplendence and original setting. You could even choose an underwater proposal if you’re feeling adventurous as you launch off into unknown territory on a Mexico vacation package.

Machu Picchu
The ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu is another perfect place to "pop the question" in South America. Machu Picchu is a spiritually stunning mountain-top Inca city often shrouded in mist, adding to the romance as it weaves its way between ancient stones. Of course, many other people wander around in awe of the spectacular site of Machu Picchu. However, there is generally somewhere, possibly near the Sun Gate or The Inca Bridge, or at the top of Machu Picchu Mountain! that is secluded enough to ask the important question! The iconic Machu Picchu is so magical and majestic that it seems fitting for such an extraordinary gesture as a wedding proposal! Machu Picchu tours will take you into the heart of Inca history for your proposal in this awe-inspiring Inca city in the cloud forest. Machu Picchu has to be one of the best engagement spots in Latin America.
Mesmerizing Machu Picchu
Iguazu Falls, Brazil, and Argentina
Brazil is as stunning as it is enormous, with its luxuriant mountains, sparkling cascades, and white, sandy beaches. These topographical wonders make Brazil attractive, and the overwhelming serenity and nature make it romantic and otherworldly. One of the largest waterfalls in the world, Iguazu Falls can be visited from both Brazil and Argentina. Iguazu will make both of your jaws drop. The sheer power of Devil's Throat waterfall and its viewing platform with a 270-degree panorama of the falls, make for the perfect proposal setting. Couples can also take a short hike to nearby woodlands and spend some quality time there for romantic places to propose. If you’re lucky, you might see some brightly-colored birds and butterflies, as well as monkeys and other exotic species offering the perfect backdrop to propose on your Brazil vacation packages.
