South America (Spanish: América del Sur, Sudamérica or Suramérica; Portuguese: América do Sul; Quechua: Urin Awya Yala; Guarani: Ñembyamérika; English: South America; Dutch: Zuid-Amerika; French: Amérique du Sud) is the southern continent of America, situated in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a relatively small portion in the Northern Hemisphere. It is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean and on the north and east by the Atlantic Ocean; North America and the Caribbean Sea lie to the northwest.

America was named in 1507 by cartographers Martin Waldseemüller and Matthias Ringmann after Americo Vespuccio, who was the first European to suggest that the lands newly discovered by Europeans were not India, but a New World unknown to Europeans.

South America has an area of 17,840,000 square kilometers (6,890,000 sq mi), or almost 3.5% of the Earth's surface. As of 2005, its population was estimated at more than 371,090,000. South America ranks fourth in area (after Asia, Africa, and North America) and fifth in population (after Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America).

Is it possible to go to Mexico and South America by boat?
Q. I'm planning to visit Mexico and South America and would like to avoid traveling by airplane if possible. Is there a way to go to these countries by sea? I know there are luxury cruises that go to the Caribbean. I guess I'm thinking of something a bit less frills, just a means of transportation. Haven't found anything so far. Any tips?

A. There are a lot of tour boats/cruise ships that go to Mexico and South America: An alternate way is on a freighter. A lot of freighters carry a limited number of passengers as well as cargo. You might try some of them. another way is via a good travel agent that knows the best and cheapest. And one that will work with you to stay in your budget. Usually over all unless you are going there to live and work a good travel agent is the best and cheapest way to go.

A. South America is made up of many countries and occupations vary depending on where people live. People who live in cities hold all the same jobs that exist in other cities around the world, from offices to retail stores to restaurants, etc. People who live in the rural areas usually farm and produce crops. A lot of fruits are imported from South American countries.
