he municipality of Angra dos Reis (Portuguese: Creek of the Kings) lies in the southern part of Rio de Janeiro state and includes 365 islands in its humid territory. You can see the jungle of Costa Verde (The Green Coast) on one side of the road and some amazing beaches with many small islands, looking like donuts, on the other side.

e and my husband-to-be started our journey to Colombia from Ljubljana to Venice, from where we had a flight to Paris. When we arrived to Paris, our flight to Bogotá was postponed at least three times, so we left Charles de Gaulle Airport with a two-hour delay. As expected we arrived to El Dorado International Airport in Colombia's beating heart - Bogotá with a huge delay. We ran like crazy through Immigration Checkpoint and then further on to the correct gate, but in the end we missed our connected flight to Cartagena for 10 mins. Luckily they immediately arranged the next flight, so after 27 hours on the way, we finally reached our destination. We landed in Cartagena and forgot about every small detail on the way the moment we stepped out of the airport and felt the outside high temperature. People looked at us strangely, because we were dressed like Eskimos, while they were wearing flip-flops. May I add, we came to Colombia in December, when Slovenia and most of the other Central European countries usually have minus something degrees Celsius.

ayrona National Park is a true tropical paradise, set in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. This humid tropic zone got its name after the Tairona people (Tairona meaning: Sons of the Tiger), who lived in this region around 200 BCE. The park is beyond beautiful - it is spectacular. 

Tayrona has two main entrances: Zaino entrance in the east side (Cabo San Juan) and Neguanje (Playa Crystal) in the west side. There are nearly fifty beaches and at first we visited Bahia La Concha in the western side of the park ...

ancun served us more like a starting point from where we traveled across the Yucatan Peninsula. I will never forget the colour of the sea and white sand between my toes. The beach is simply gorgeous. We stayed in Cancun just for three nights and honestly most of the days we were on the road. We rented a car right at the airport at our arrival, because we planned to visit the surrounding areas. One day we went scuba diving near Isla Mujeres (this one was totally unplanned), the second day we headed toward Holbox island and we stayed there for one night. The third day we visited Valladolid and Chichen Itza, but unfortunatelly we didn't make it to Merida, the capital of the Mexican state of Yucatan and the largest city of the Yucatan Peninsula. The one thing I regret not seeing: Las Coloradas on the northern part of Yucatan. If possible, make sure you go there, because on photos it looks exceptional.

ulum has many great accommodation facilities to offer in order to spend your vacation. Because we generally prefer smaller boutique hotels, we anchored at Live Tulum Hotel and we were more than satisfied. This condo hotel is situated in the center of Tulum, which means it is about 3 km from the beach. There are nine suites, altogether eighteen rooms, all of them very tastefully designed. We got the last suite by the pool and it has proven to be the best option, because it offered total privacy. Every other suite also had its own exit to the pool, but this one was the last one in line, so there were practically no 'neighbours'. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, too. There was also access to free WiFi in all the rooms and in the lobby. The buffet breakfast was simply delicious.

an Juan Province at the westernmost edge of Argentina, near the border of Chile, is like a giant sandbox at the tip of an endless desert's tongue. The colour palette of this landscape receives the least amount of rainfall and highest sunshine duration in the country. It is a perfect place for those, who have grown tired of their worn-out urban beds, littered with bad habits of modern cities and are keen to crawl through the wilderness on all fours. That is why we decided to arrange a trip and take a flight from Buenos Aires to San Juan, which lasted for about two hours.

hen Earth gave birth to her most beautiful children, her amniotic fluid must have broken on this very spot. How else could these South American cascades, one of the biggest in the world, so vociferously draw attention to themselves even at the distance of 25 kilometres?
