Have you heard the one about the visiting tourist enjoying Costa Rican tamales? He says, “They’re really delicious, but the lettuce is little tough!” (Costa Rican tamales are wrapped in green banana tree leaves.) Ho, ho, ho!

Tamales are one of the most time-honored Christmas traditions in Costa Rica. Like the rest of Latin America, tamales are a principal part of Christmas dinner. In Costa Rica, tamales are made from corn flour and are filled with many different ingredients, such as potato puree,

December sees a lot of celebrations around the globe — Christmas and New Year being the major highlights. India welcomes new year with budget and lavish bashes. Apart from these, there are a few culture festivals here which are globally acclaimed. You can choose between grooving to music of DJs at night clubs, or traditional beats at the regional fests. Here’s a brief look at some of the leading winter culture fests in India.

On the coast of Lima, there are several small islands. We offer 4 hour boat tours to these islands, allowing you to see the islands and the marine life that lives there. These tours begin and end in Callao (Lima’s port city). This tour can be combined with our other tours in Lima. See the full tour here.

If you want to see the city of Lima, this is great for you. 

Our half day tour of the city of Lima includes important attractions belonging to all 3 of its historical periods: pre-Hispanic, colonial and modern.  

Lima is one of the largest and most diverse cities in the world. The city was founded in the 1500′s, but people lived in the area long before that, and many of their buildings still exist. We offer daily tours for solo travelers and for groups, and this half day tour can be combined with

The pre-Inca temple of Pachacamac is located in Lima. We offer guided tours to help you learn more about the culture of the people who lived here in pre-Inca times.

During the tour we will also visit Huaca Pucllana, a pre-Inca pyramid. This tour can be combined with other tours that we offer in Lima or other parts of the country. See the full tour here. 

The Colca Canyon has a depth of 4,160 meters (13,650 ft) making it about 2 times as deep as the Grand Canyon in the US. Parts of the Colca canyon are habitable, and there are pre-Columbian terraced fields still supporting agriculture and human life. This two day tour also includes a visit to a national park.  We offer daily Colca Canyon tours for singles and for groups. See the whole tour here.

Arequipa is also known as the ”white city” because of the white buildings built from volcanic rock. It is located near the Misti Volcano, and the Colca Canyon.

Arequipa is the 2nd largest city in the country by population, after Lima. During this half day tour of Arequipa you will be able to see a number of sites in the city. See the whole tour here.

IT COULD HAVE BEEN FUN

The day began at the crack of dawn with a journey from Old San Juan into the center of Puerto Rico, to the Toro Verde Adventure Park in Orocovis.  As we took our seats in the Aventuras Tierra Adentro bus, I was skeptical about the forthcoming escapade when Rosario and Hannibal began their comedy routine, replete with sound effects and the Raider’s of the Lost Ark background music.    

The ride was broken up by a pit stop and breakfast at a roadside bodega. 

There are some people who continuously visit the same holiday destination every year. Some of these are places abroad but a lot of them are actually in the UK. Devon is one of those places; the kind of place that will never cease to be a top choice for holidaymakers for a number of reasons.

Weather

The British weather is notoriously unpredictable and in the summer time, you have almost as much chance of having a holiday full of rain as you do of record breaking temperatures. There doesn't appear t

If you’re a true fan of the complexities of Mexican cuisine (as in, beyond Taco Bell and “pass the Old El Paso”) I’m sure you’ve come across one of this country’s most sophisticated contributions to world cuisine, as well as its quintessential “special occasion” dish. There are a number of Mexican sauces referred to as moles (pronounced “MO-layss”), but the best known is mole poblano, a thick, rich, brown concoction that for my money is as tasty and complex as any fancy confection from the kitc

Rugged cliffs plunge into the sea, to the north; a lush forest occupies the central areas and miles of white sandy beaches stretch to the south. That is the small Danish island – palette (588 sq.km), Bornholm, in a few words. The island might be small in area, but whether you choose to go there for a weekend or a long holiday, the tiny sunny islet offers a whole new aspect of Denmark.

A range of activities available for the outdoor lovers – climbing, horseback riding, sport fishing or golf. Art l

Most visitors to Costa Rica start out in the capital city of San José. However, many might not know that San José is an ideal gateway to some of the best one-day tours that Costa Rica has to offer. Starting right from the Central Valley, you have dozens of exciting adventure, nature and cultural tours available to enjoy in just one day.

You could base an entire vacation out of San José. The country’s largest city has a lot to offer visitors, with interesting museums, theaters and historical build

When shopping for travel insurance, it’s essential to match your own needs with that of the policy. Here are a few coverage areas to be aware of:

Provides cash payment for accidental loss of life or limb while traveling.

It wasn’t so long ago that all hotels pretty much looked alike.

Just another pretty face, or not so pretty.

There were some differences in the design of a luxury lobby and bar, versus, say  the lobby and bar of a moderate-priced hotel chain. No one would confuse a Four Seasons with a Best Western.

But basically, the design standard and principles of hotel brands were fixed by Corporate with little flexibility and certainly no impulse to take many design chances.

Apparently the powerful prese

Being a motorcycle traveler, for me, “a place” is not as much a city or a village, but rather a region where I travel through. I rarely have a fixed route plan when I leave on a trip, just a general idea of where I would like to go, and the places I would like to visit along the way.

Most of the time I get tons of information about interesting things or places to see on the go, from local people, and that is how you come across some of the most amazing places.

Since I moved to Brazil, I traveled t

I drove through the city of San Jose last weekend. Everywhere the streets were clogged with traffic and shoppers, rushing around to cash in on Christmas deals and sales. Besides making a mental note to avoid the traffic until after Christmas, the scene made me adamantly think how much I do not want that chaos for my holiday season.

Sure, it’s fun to buy gifts for others; and it definitely is fun to receive them! Giving and receiving at any time, in all forms, is one of the most beautiful elements

Muerte al GPS. Al igual que en las medinas de las ciudades árabes, lo mejor que le puede pasar en Lyon es que se pierda. Si se desorienta y aunque mire el mapa no sabe dónde se encuentra, no se preocupe. Eche a caminar y dará con rincones especiales de esos que no vienen en las guías. La tercera ciudad más poblada de Francia está repleta de callejones, como los famosos traboules, pasadizos que conectan una calle con otra a través de los patios de los edificios. Uno de los más famosos es el de la
