Florianópolis

With its soft white sands, secret lagoons, and lush rainforest trails, it’s easy to see how Florianópolis earned its nickname,

 (island of magic). Nearly 500 miles south of Rio de Janeiro and linked to the mainland with bridges, Floripa boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil. The island is also home to a subtropical rainforest crisscrossed by hiking trails and dotted with sparking waterfall-fed swimming holes.

Floripa may have a relaxed, small-town vibe by day, but its nightlife is legendary among Brazilians. Predictably, the capital of Santa Catarina has no shortage of delectable seafood restaurants where you can feast on ridiculously fresh oysters and buttery lobster.

Austin

Austin is a city of contradictions. Consistently ranked as the fastest-growing city in the country, it nevertheless retains a quirky, small-town vibe. Famously home to budding musicians, artists, and creatives, the city is increasingly popular among startup CEOs and tech entrepreneurs. Ultra liberal, progressive, and eco-minded town, Austin remains located squarely — and proudly — in the middle of Texas.

A large part of what's driven Austin’s growth is an explosive tech scene. Locals are fond of grumbling (a popular t-shirt during SXSW reads "Welcome to Austin. Please don't move here.") but the flood of new talent and tech money comes with perks. Exciting restaurants, hip coffee shops, top-notch craft breweries, and world-class hotels are cropping up all over the Lone Star State's capital city, seemingly every day. In this brave new Austin, there's never a shortage of things to do. But whether you're paddleboarding the river, feasting on barbecue, or hopping bars on Sixth Street, be sure to dress appropriately, as temperatures can exceed 100 during the summer months (but that's nothing a frosty marg can't fix).

Bogotá

Perched 8,600 feet above sea level, Bogotá — aka 

 — earned its nickname with its cool, overcast weather that hovers around 44°F to 66°F year-round.

Montevideo

Uruguay's laidback, welcoming capital city gets touted as "South America's best-kept secret" for a reason. Many foreigners remain unfamiliar with Montevideo's charms: pristine beaches, colorful colonial architecture, a rich and constantly expanding food scene, neighboring wine districts, and warm and open-minded locals.

A city best experienced on foot, Montevideo is rimmed by the Rambla de Montevideo, a palm-lined promenade that runs the entire length of the Rio de la Plata. The 14-mile-long coastal sidewalk connects several of the city's coolest neighborhoods and most popular beaches. Locals flock to the Rambla on sunny days to partake in a quintessential Montevidean activity — sipping mate (a highly caffeinated herbal tea) while soaking up the sun.

Medellín

Medellín often gets described as a phoenix rising from the ashes. As far as cliches go, it's on point: Dubbed the murder capital of the world in the '80s, the city has shaken off its wartorn past and made a remarkable transformation in the last two decades. Innovative city planning, urban projects, and policy changes have turned the once-troubled city into a modern, progressive metropolis.

Today, Medellín draws floods of travelers with unparalleled coffee, explosive nightlife, incredible Andes Mountains vistas, and friendly locals (known as

Buenos Aires

Legend has it that when Buenos Aires was being built in the 1860s, a city planner gave orders to design the city exactly like Paris. Parisian elements — wide elegant avenues, majestic palaces, sprawling parks, sidewalk cafes, and vista points — can still be found all over the city. But despite being nicknamed the "Paris of the South", Buenos Aires remains — at its heart — a Latin city, where impromptu parades erupt after fútbol games and locals dance tango until the wee hours of the morning.

The list of reasons to love Buenos Aires — South America's suave, seductive capital — is a long one. The city wins you over with majestically faded historic architecture, an exciting culinary scene, and thumping nightlife. Equally enchanting are the Buenos Aires locals (nicknamed 

), famously passionate, fashionable, and friendly.
