Roatan Island “The wrong country was called Honduras …”
Honduras!!! Which of my peers did not dream of visiting here to find out once and for all, this or that country was called Honduras. I won’t say that I dreamed of longed-for Honduras for days and nights, but so often I found myself close, close to its borders and never crossed them, and it was terribly unfair. This whole cruise could easily not have taken place (even despite the huge discount!) If one of the port days did not promise a meeting with Honduras. “Well, finally!” I exclaimed. Well, you understand, huh?
True, for the sake of justice, it must be clarified that the ship was moored not on the Honduran coast, but on the island of Roatan, also geographically owned by Honduras (the similarities ended here), a completely paradise town, included in the list of the most beautiful Caribbean islands, and quite leading positions in the Continue reading
GUATEMALA
One of the most picturesque countries of Central America, one of the centers of the Mayan civilization, exotic and tropical rainforests – all this is amazing Guatemala. It’s worth going to Guatemala if you are unbearably interested in meeting real Indians, participating in mystical shamanistic rituals, seeing with your own eyes the villages inhabited by the descendants of the legendary Mayans, immersing yourself in local customs and going to the imaginatively vibrant colors and unusual pagan festivities .

VENEZUELA
Venezuela has: a) the old cities of the conquistadors, b) a couple of thousand kilometers of beaches, c) the absolutely unearthly beauty of the Andes, d) the great Orinoco River, e) the highest Angel Falls in the world. And this entire list is surrounded by magnificent flora, under whose shelter amazing animals live: ocelot, tapir and armadilla, not counting the anteater and anaconda darling (certainly also darling, but in a slightly different sense). By the way, not one or two Venezuelans won at different times world beauty contests (and continue to win). This is so, by the way.
The role of tourists in Venezuela is usually played by individuals stamped with the most “I do not want” passports, a long track record of visited countries and a thick wallet. Continue reading
