I have been able to visit South America on several occasions. My first visit in December, 1987, was to the llanos of Venezuela and I returned to this rich area in April, 1992. More recently, I have visited parts of Chile and Argentina on several occasions between 1996 and 2005, and made a brief trip to Peru in 2006.
