If you ask me, I think they got the names wrong when they founded Buenos Aires and Tigre (tee-gray). Buenos Aires is loud, unpredictable, and even sometimes dangerous (like a tiger), and Tigre is a tranquil place surrounded by nature that reminds you of cottage country (like good air). There is a touristy feel to Tigre, but once you get into the river delta, it feels...

Traducido por Isvely Salazar Si acabas de aterrizar en el aeropuerto de Cancún y necesitas trasladarte entre terminales, prepárate para estar rodeado de taxistas que te van a querer llevar y cobrar. Generalmente, son amigables, pero no tienen ningún escrúpulo para mentirte, así te convencen de irte con ellos. Sus métodos...
20 de abril del 2024 Click here for the English version. Traducido por Isvely Salazar Te garantizo que esta es la mejor forma de llegar a Nicaragua desde El Salvador. Me decidí por esta opción después de haber hablado con mucha gente que tomó un bus o varios buses y me dijeron que les habría gustado saber antes de la alternativa en lancha. No hay frontera terrestre...
Let’s get right into it. Can you get to Chichen Itza without an organized tour? Yes. Is it easy? Yes. Pretty much anywhere in the Yucatan you can take a bus to Chichen Itza. The major bus line is ADO and you can look at their site to find bus schedules and if your location has a direct line to Chichen Itza. This is pretty straightforward and no more explanation is...
If you are landing in Cancun Airport and need to transfer terminals, get prepared to be surrounded by taxi drivers that want you to help you get there. They are generally friendly, but they have no problem lying through their teeth to get you in their vehicle. There is no physical danger, but their methods can be aggressive. If all you want to do is transfer...
The Maya Train, or Tren Maya, is a brand new mode of transportation in Mexico that covers pretty much the entire Yucatan Peninsula and even stretches to Palenque in Chiapas. For those that aren’t Mexican geography geeks, the new train connects Cancun to much of the surrounding area. It debuted on December 16, 2023, with only the Campeche to Cancun line running...
When putting together a South America travel itinerary, you have to consider exactly what you are looking for because there are so many different sides to this surprisingly diverse continent. Before I visited South America, I thought, “they all speak Spanish, the countries must be pretty much the same.” I was wrong in so many ways. Did you know that the most widely...
It was a normal bus ride until we started approaching Panama City. If you’ve been in Central America for a while, heading south through the likes of Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica, arriving in Panama City is a bit of shocker. There are some tall buildings in San Jose, but you tend to forget about the overdeveloped world while catching...
It’s my 3rd or 4th time in Guadalajara, I’m not sure. But my first time being back after the whole Enrique fiasco that ended about a year and a half ago (you’ll hear a touch about my nightmarish ex-roommate below). That horrid experience didn’t turn me off the city though. I like Guadalajara — there’s an edge to it. Guadalajara: The Good The food is fantastic, the...
