1. The Amazon River travels through several countries but which country also features Pico da Neblina, and this famous tourist beach?

Answer: Brazil

The mighty Amazon River starts in the Andes Mountain and flows 6,400km towards the Atlantic ocean, travelling through Peru, Colombia and Brazil. Pico da Neblina is a national park which also features the highest mountain in Brazil, called by the same name as the park. Standing at 2,994m high, it can be found in the north-west of the country. The image shows the popular 4km long Copacabana Beach, situated in Rio de Janeiro near to the famous Sugar Loaf Mountain.
2. Loa is the longest river in which South American country that also features Ojos del Salado, and is the nearest landmass to these familiar monuments?

The 440km Loa River is the longest river in Chile. Starting at the base of the Andes, it travels through the Atacama desert, believed to be the driest desert in the world, before reaching the Pacific Ocean. Standing at 6,893m high, Ojos del Salado is the highest volcano in the world, and the tallest mountain in Chile. The image shows the incredible stone monuments on Easter Island, situated in the Pacific Ocean. The island belongs to Chile, and the statues are called "moai".

The Nevado Sajama is an extinct volcano which is situated at the west of the country, reaching approximately 6,542m high. The image is a photo taken at Laguna Colorada, a salt lake containing borax. The white borax contrasts with red algae in the lake, giving the water of the lake a colourful appearance.

The image is of Casapueblo, a house belonging to and designed by the artist, Carlos Paez Vilaro. It was built in honour of the artist's son who died on the 1972 Andes plane disaster which also killed the country's rugby team.
