Wax Palms of Valle de Cocora
Located in the heart of the Colombian coffee region and tucked between Pereira and Armenia rests Salento, a small and pleasant town which offers visitors a warm relaxing setting.

Volcano Pacaya is one of the most active volcanoes in Latin America. Pacaya is located near Antigua, Guatemala, a popular tourist town west of Guatemala City.

Naturally occurring turquoise cascading pools are supported by a 300m limestone bridge, under which the Cahabón River flows. Mosquito nets required. Read the accompanying blog or View photo gallery

Laguna de Alegría

From Alegría’s town center you can easily walk 45 minutes in sandals along a cobblestone road or hire a guide to take you on a 2-hour hike up and over the crater’s ridge then down to the lakes edge. Of course, Aracely and I opted for the hike. Our hostel recommended a local 21 year old to guide us with complete confidence. (more…)
