Have You Discovered These Buzzworthy Travel Gems?
We wonder why some amazing vacation spots are largely undiscovered by Americans. How could places that are scenic, historic, dollar-favorable, comparatively safe, and filled with lovely, welcoming people not be on every traveler’s bucket list? We’re speaking of Central and South America!
Another factor to make the best use of precious vacation time – countries in this region are in the same time zone as the eastern U.S. (or within a couple of hours), for less jetlag and travel time than other international destinations.
How about a trip to Argentina, and the capital city of Buenos Aires, where you can immerse yourself in Spanish culture from the moment you step off the plane? The perhaps surprisingly cosmopolitan city of boasts a vibe similar to European cities, but with its own flavor of culture, food, architecture, music, activities – and spectacular photo-opportunities! Climactic and topographical variances in Argentina gives travelers the chance to plan a trip well-suited to their outdoor interests, weather preferences and schedules.
Uruguay, bordering Argentina, is a hidden gem that wows with its combination of subtropical scenery, grand architecture, and the people’s devotion to soccer! According to Wikipedia, Uruguay ranks first in Latin America for democracy, peace, and quality of living. The vibrant capital city of Montevideo reflects the progressive modern lifestyle of its residents and offers wonderful plazas, viewpoints, wineries and sophisticated cultural activities to experience.
A little closer to home is Costa Rica, increasingly popular amongst Americans for its natural beauty. You can visit a real jungle and beautiful beaches in the same trip, and mingle with native exotic wildlife! For outdoor enthusiasts of with any level of interest in being adventurous – from taking a leisurely stroll to zip-lining, a trip to Costa Rica means fun, relaxation, and great resorts!
Galapagos Islands, Angel Falls… here are more great South America destinations.

Mel Vigman on AMA
By Travelong | Our Blog
Overall terrific trip along the Danube after three days in Prague. The AMA Sonata is new, sleek and comfortable; the crew were very polite, very efficient. Rooms were small but quite well planned and water pressure in showers always good. The tours were informative in positively beautiful sites, with equally beautiful cathedrals. Some tours were in very crowded popular spots e.g. Schonbrunn Palace. I preferred the less crowded ones. Tour guides ranged from good to excellent. Some highlights were: Vienna concert, local classic trio (La Strada) and on-board entertainer on keyboard, Tamas. Meals on boat were uniformly good but wine only so-so. Free time was barely adequate, but that may have been our fault for not taking more. We found great restaurants in Prague on our own, and other interesting events when we had the chance. Met very nice people on board. I took 400 plus photos.
