Quiz question – which are the five biggest countries in the world.
Ans: 1. Russia; 2. Canada; 3; USA; 4. China; 5. Brazil. Sixth is Australia. (Australia is the biggest island).
One thing that people forget, I think, is that South America is really big. It takes approx. nine hours to fly from Santiago de Chile to Miami, Florida. So not easy to get from top to bottom, although I had a friend who landed in Chile having started in Alaska via the famous ‘Panamercano’. Top adventuring!
