]]>Culture
Mexico boasts a rich cultural heritage shaped by centuries of indigenous civilizations, European colonization, and diverse influences from around the world. Explore the ancient ruins of civilizations such as the Maya, Aztec, and Zapotec at iconic archaeological sites like Chichen Itza, Teotihuacan, and Palenque, where you can marvel at impressive pyramids, intricate carvings, and well-preserved temples that offer insights into Mexico’s pre-Columbian past. Discover the charm of cities like Mexico City, Oaxaca, and Puebla, where cobblestone streets, colorful buildings, and historic landmarks such as cathedrals, plazas, and convents reflect the country’s Spanish colonial legacy. Immerse yourself in Mexico’s vibrant cultural traditions through music, dance, and cuisine, from the lively rhythms of mariachi bands and folkloric ballets to the tantalizing flavors of traditional dishes like mole, tacos, and tamales, served with a side of warm hospitality and Mexican charm.
Stunning Natural Landscapes
Mexico is blessed with a diverse array of natural landscapes, ranging from rugged mountains and lush rainforests to pristine beaches and turquoise waters. Explore the dramatic landscapes of the Copper Canyon in Chihuahua, a network of rugged canyons deeper and wider than the Grand Canyon, where you can hike, bike, or ride the famous Chepe train through breathtaking scenery and indigenous villages. Relax on the sun-drenched beaches of the Riviera Maya, where powdery white sands and crystal-clear waters invite you to swim, snorkel, and soak up the sun in paradise. Dive into the colorful underwater world of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-largest coral reef system in the world, where you can encounter vibrant coral formations, tropical fish, and marine life such as sea turtles, dolphins, and whale sharks. Whether exploring ancient jungles, relaxing on secluded beaches, or diving into underwater wonders, Mexico offers endless opportunities for outdoor adventure and exploration.
Culinary Delights
Mexico’s culinary scene is as diverse and flavorful as its cultural heritage, with a tantalizing array of dishes, flavors, and regional specialties that reflect the country’s rich culinary traditions and indigenous roots. Sample the mouthwatering flavors of Mexican cuisine, from street tacos and tlayudas to savory pozole and spicy chiles rellenos, served with a side of salsa fresca and handmade tortillas. Explore the vibrant markets and street food stalls of cities like Mexico City, Oaxaca, and Guadalajara, where you can taste local delicacies, sample exotic fruits, and savor the aroma of freshly prepared dishes cooked on open grills and comals. Experience the art of tequila and mezcal tasting in the agave-producing regions of Jalisco and Oaxaca, where you can learn about the production process and sample a variety of artisanal spirits straight from the source.

]]>Moray, Peru’s hidden Incan gem, is a perfect example of this.
While Machu Picchu might receive all of the attention when it comes to Incan sites in Peru, Moray is a spot that is absolutely worth discovering in its own right.
Located just 45 kilometers to the southeast of Machu Picchu is Moray, an Incan archeological site that stands on its own as the most spectacular example of Incan agricultural practices that is left for us to see today.
Several terraced circular depressions, some of which extend up to 100 feet deep below ground level, are the highlights of this site. Archeologists have determined that these terraced features were built in order to cultivate crops such as potatoes.
The striking appearance of the remains of Moray and their deliberate geometric figures contrast sharply with the jagged, natural peaks of the Andes Mountains that lurk behind them in the region.
If you’re looking to plan a trip to Peru to see the wonder of Machu Picchu, make sure to make time for a stop at Moray as well.

]]>In fact, you will probably be shocked as a visitor that you can see these three things in Rio Grande do Sul!
A Wine Region
You probably don’t associate wine-making with Brazil, but there is, in fact, an important wine region in Rio Grande do Sul. Vale dos Vinhedos is a region located in the Gaucho Highlands region of the state where a growing number of vineyards produce wines like Merlots and Chardonnays.
An Old German Settlement
The majority of Rio Grande do Sul’s population is of European origin, and a surprisingly high number of Germans settled here in the 20th century. You can discover this heritage in Gramado, a tourist-oriented city that features German architecture, restaurants, and the Mini Mundo Park.
Huge Canyons
The mountainous terrain of Rio Grande do Sul is also the home of a collection of impressive canyons such as Itaimbezinho, Fortaleza, and Malacara. Waterfalls and rushing rivers are found in these forested environments that you can hike in to discover.

]]>Its Pyramid Has 365 Steps
The main attraction of Chichen Itza is its “El Castillo” pyramid, a former Maya temple that rises 98 feet above the ground. While you cannot climb to the top of it anymore due to the need to secure its structural integrity, it has 365 steps that lead to the top, a symbol for one of every one of the days of the year.
The True Meaning of Its Name
While Chichen Itza is a world-famous name, many people do not know what exactly it means. The name comes from the Mayan language and means “at the mouth of the well of the Itza.” It was said that an underground spring known as Itza, a powerful place in the Mayan underworld, was located under the pyramid.
(@romlgt)Abandoned for 100 Years
Chichen Itza was an important center and the home of a settlement with numerous residents for hundreds of years, but did you know that it was actually vacated in the 9th and 10th centuries for about 100 years thanks to a severe drought that struck the region? Fortunately, it was brought back to use around 1000 AD after the water supply was restored.

]]>
#ngtukLocated in the Bolivian altiplano, an exceptionally flat plateau at high altitude within the Andes Mountain region, this salt flat is the world’s largest at over 4,000 square miles in area.
Created after the evaporation of a prehistoric lake, salt, rock formations, and the remnants of former islands within the lake were left behind to create a landscape that looks more like something from another planet than it does anything Earth-like.
(어떤 선물이었을까요?) 각자의 위치에서 여행하고, 지내고 있을 네 분을 진심으로 응원하고 감사의 말씀을 전합니다. 특히나, 수많은 인솔로 저보다도 우유니를 잘 알고 계심에도, 부족한 절 선택해 주신 꽃누나에게는 두배 세배 감사드려요 The surface of the lake creates a mirror-like effect in which the skies and the landscape surrounding the salt flat are reflected perfectly off of the surface.
It’s a phenomenon that you must see in order to believe, exceeding any sort of expectation that you might have for this place, as high as it might be.
Run, don’t walk, to visit the Uyuni Salt Flat.
Sigamos soñando, Sigamos arriesgando, Sigamos aprendiendo, explorando, Sigamos disfrutando de las cosas increíbles y de las simples, Sigamos abriendo nuestra cabeza, Sigamos conociendo lugares, personas Sigamos riendo, Sigamos luchando y enfrentando la vida, Sigamos cumpliendo sueños, Sigamos viajando, Sigamos viviendo intensamente, libres y felices..

]]>The post Ecuador’s Top Cities Have So Much to Offer appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>In fact, Ecuador’s two biggest cities of Guayaquil and Quito illustrate these differences so well. Let’s take a look at why.
Guayaquil
Guayaquil is a city of 2.6 million people which is known as “The Pearl of the Pacific.” Located on a port leading into the Guayaquil Bay, this city has tropical vibes and hot temperatures. Here, you can eat the country’s best ceviche, stroll along the water on the Malecon boardwalk and take in a neighborhood like Las Peñas, which conserves some of the most impressive colonial architecture found in the country. This is a warm, active, and vibrant destination!
Quito
Quito, the capital of the country and the home to just over 2 million inhabitants, is geographically close to Guayaquil but so different! Located at over 9,000 feet above sea level in the Andes Mountains, the cool, moderate climate of this city and its indigenous influences give it a very unique vibe. The historical center of the city is arguably the best-preserved in all of the world and was, along with Krakow, the first to be designated a UNESCO World Heritage site. Run, don’t walk, here!

]]>Quito has plenty to see and do, but if you’re looking to get a true glimpse at what the city is like, here are three things that you must do.
Old Town
Quito’s Old Town, which has been immaculately preserved since its days as a splendid center of activity during Ecuador’s period as a Spanish colony, is a place to get lost in. Here, you’ll never get tired of walking through 18th-century roads and visiting small shops and little restaurants.
@diana_carrasco_pazTelefériQo
Quito’s location in the foothills of the Andes Mountains puts it in very close proximity to high mountain peaks. The city’s aerial lift costs only $17 for a round trip ticket that takes you from the city to the Cruz Loma lookout of the Pichincha Volcano, offering spectacular views of the city and hiking experience for those with experience.
It's a gondola lift in Quito, Ecuador, running from the edge of the city centre up the east side of Pichincha Volcano to lookout Cruz Loma. It is one of the highest aerial lifts in the world, rising from 3,117m to 3,945 m. . .

Quito’s main cathedral is a neo-Gothic gem of architecture which was built at the end of the 19th century. The largest example of neo-Gothic architecture in the Americas, visitors can marvel at its cavernous interior or walk to the top of its towers to see panoramic views of Quito.

Acabo de pasar un momento feo, donde quisieron suplantar mi identidad, la verdad nunca lo había pensado pero se siente súper horrible! Mil gracias a tod@s los que me ayudaron a reportarlo 
. Este sería mi “pan para el susto”! Una foto de un recuerdo bonito, para quitarme el susto! 
The location of the city is one of the reasons for this. The old city existed in the first millennium AD and was later completely covered by the jungle, which sent its long roots and obscured its monumental structures within a wild and green tangle.
The city stretched over more than sixty square kilometers, and only a relatively small part of it (about 35 buildings), was exposed from the forest so far. The rest are still waiting hidden in the thick of the jungle.
Another reason for Palenque’s popularity is the exceptional preservation of its buildings. Particularly impressive is the Temple of Inscriptions, the highest of the Palenque buildings.
The best time to visit Palenque is early in the morning, as a white mist envelops the buildings, and the chirping of the birds that have just woken up can be heard in the background.

]]>What to Do
Of course, Rio is known for the famous beaches like Ipanema and Copacabana, but there are so many others that are waiting for you in Rio. One of the newly discovered beaches is called Praia de Secreto, which literally means Secret Beach. Located in the west of the city, this beach is great because not only do you have the sea in front of you, but you have natural pools of water that are warm and perfect for relaxing.
#PraiaDeSecreto #RioDeJaneiro #Brazil #NaturalPool #Travel #Travelgram #SouthAmerica #SoakinGInTheSun #StoneIsland #Sun #Ocean #Atlantic #Girl #Bikini @riodejaneirogramRio is well known for the giant statue of Christ called Christ the Redeemer. It is actually now considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World, so obviously a must-see. You can reach the statue that is now almost 100 years old either by train, a van, or hiking the trail! If you do decide to hike though, try not to bring many valuable things with you as there have been muggings in the past.
After you see Christ the Redeemer, stop at the Santa Teresa neighborhood. There are bright, colonial buildings, cobblestone streets, and a very artsy feeling. There is also a famous set of steps called the Escadaria Selaron, which are truly a work of art. Wander the streets and you can still find local artists and artisans where you can pick up something special to commemorate your trip and support local businesses.
Although Rio is known for its nature and activities, don’t miss out on going to the downtown area! Praca 15 de Novembro is a square the holds the colonial history of the city. This is the spot where the Portuguese royal family first landed in the city and has loads of gorgeous imperialist architecture, as well as museums and political buildings.
Food and Nightlife
There are many places to go out in Rio, but one of the famous spots is the Lapa neighborhood. There are many bars and clubs there that give you the feeling that you’re in carnival all year round.
Food-wise, you cannot leave Brazil without trying fejioada. This bean and pork stew is so delicious and hearty, and will definitely fill you up after a long day of site seeing. The best place to get it in the city is the Academia de Cachaca where it is served very traditionally with all the fixings. This joint is also well known for its cachaca, as told by the name, so be sure to get a shot of it alongside your meal, or better yet, order one of their famous caipirinhas.

]]>The post Nicaragua is an Absolute Gem in Central America appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Nicaragua is really a paradise for people who love to explore nature, and even if you only want to appreciate it from a distance, there’s still plenty of activities to do. So get your gear on and head out to beautiful Nicaragua.
What to Do
Nicaragua is a dream come true for surfers, especially in the Pacific Ocean side of the country. One of the most famous beaches that surfers love to frequent is a place called Playa Maderas, which is known to have consistently good waves.
If you are a scuba diver, love to snorkel, or just want some incredible beach views, you have to visit Las Islas de Maiz, or the Corn Islands. There are two islands that make up the Corn Islands, and they’re about 40 miles east off the coast of Nicaragua. The reason people love to come diving out there because there are reefs, small canyons, and a lot of undisturbed marine life, especially on Little Corn because there are no cars on the small island.
Las Isletas or the Islets of Granada are a crazy archipelago in the middle of Lake Nicaragua slightly south from the city of Granada. What is so crazy about these islets is that there are a whopping 365 of them, and they were formed 25,000 in the aftermath of an eruption from the volcano Mombacho. Seeing these islets you’ll notice they’re completely green and are just remarkable to look at. You can also visit each one via boat or kayak!
Speaking of Mombacho, while you’re in Nicaragua why not live a little and hike a volcano? Though it’s not classified as extinct, it hasn’t been active since the early 16th century, so it’s definitely safe. On the volcano, there are hiking trails, beautiful views, and lush greenery.

No matter where you go in the country, there are some foods that you will see everywhere that you need to try. Gallo pinto is one of those dishes because it’s the national dish of Nicaragua! Though it just is a rice and beans dish, the flavors go way beyond whatever you’ve had in the past, and most people will even have it for breakfast!
Vigorón is another dish you have to try, and even though you can get it anywhere in the country, the best places to find it are on the streets in Granada. Vigorón is a dish of yucca, chicharrones, or pork rinds, topped with slaw, and is absolutely incredible. Mostly it is served out of a banana leaf, and you can eat it with your hands or a fork, but don’t bother going to a restaurant for it, just find a shady place to sit and eat it on the street.
