READING
1 Read the travel blog and tick () A, B, or C. (5pts)
South America
I hope my short blog helps you plan your travels around this great continent. Here are four of the
best places I visited, starting with Venezuela in September.
Canaima, Venezuela
I didn’t go to the capital, Caracas, as it isn’t the safest place to visit. I only went to Canaima, which
is the smallest place in this blog. It’s a quiet town in a beautiful national park and people go there
because it is the closest place to Angel Falls - the world’s highest waterfall. I took a lot of photos
but video is better because you can remember the noise of all that water!
Cuzco, Peru
Next, I travelled through Colombia to Peru to see some of the oldest temples in the world, built by
the Incas. Cuzco, the nearest city, is very friendly to tourists and I bought a lot of souvenirs. It also
has a lot of lovely old buildings and you can learn more about the history of the temples if you visit
the museums. Be careful to choose the best time to visit. The busiest months are June and July
and Cuzco is full of visitors then. I went in December and it wasn’t busy but it rained every day.
Valparaíso, Chile
Valparaíso was more interesting for me than the capital, Santiago. It’s a large city, full of colourful
houses and a lot of history. I especially wanted to visit the place where the writer Pablo Neruda
lived. It’s a house with five floors, on top of a hill and you can see the whole city and the sea from
up there. It was one of the most expensive tourist sites I visited but I really loved it.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

This busy city has views of the mountains and the most famous beaches in South America. I was in
Rio for the biggest, loudest party in the world. Of course I’m talking about the Rio carnival. The date
changes each year but it always takes place in late February or early March. It’s amazing! Don’t
miss it!
Enjoy your trip. You’re going to have a fantastic time.
Example: The writer visited Venezuela in November.

A True  B False  C Doesn’t say 
1 Canaima is the capital of Venezuela.
