This a selection of the top 3 tours available in Guatemala based in my personal experience. They are great for families, groups of friends and adventurous honeymooners. Here they are, Enjoy!

The Chichicastenango Tour:

In this tour you will be taken to Chichicastenango (Quiche, Guatemala) in a private shuttle. Once you are there, you will have the opportunity to see what daily life is for its native people.

Another great place the church, which from the inside is very different from the ones you see in Antigua Guatemala. This 400 year old church was built over and old Mayan temple, as a matter of fact the steps in front of it are part of the original temple.

As soon as you step foot in it you will notice that the decoration is very unique.

Pacaya Volcano Tour:

Can you imagine a delicious dinner with wine, cheese and delicious gourmet foods on top of an active volcano? It is possible in Guatemala’s Pacaya Volcano!

This volcano is just a short drive away from Antigua Guatemala. In this tour you can go up almost to the crater and stand a meter away from the constant lava flows. These constant flows are what keep this volcano from having a big eruption, making it a safe and exciting day trip.

The only way you can go up is with a guide. He will lead you along the safest and best paths. If you haven’t booked with any company (which would be preferred) you might get lucky and find one once you get there.

El Mirador Tour:

Recently I heard that someone had discovered a new Mayan city in the northern area of Peten’s cloud forest, Guatemala with the largest Mayan pyramids and temple complexes ever seen. It is located several kilometers north from Tikal. So I started researching.

All I can say is that this awesome tour is normally a six days camp (but it could be less) where you will explore the jungle in search for ancient buildings hidden by it while being surrounded by the most exotic fauna. But there is also the possibility to go on a one day tour in which you will be transported by helicopter.

The camp tour consists of a series of hikes where you will discover the highest and biggest Mayan temples you could ever imagine. The tour includes meals and a great bilingual guide that will tell you all you need to know about this great place and its wildlife.

I had heard about the incredible beauty of Cano Negro and I was getting very curious about it. Some time later I went to La Fortuna in Arenal, Costa Rica, with my family and saw the advertisement from a tour company called Canoa Aventura. It is a great tour operator that offers exciting water activities in Costa Rica.

In the add they mentioned a tour in Cano Negro so I ran to the office. When I got there the girl that I talked to told me that there were two variations of it: a boat tour and a canoe tour.

The main difference between them is that on the boat tour, you sit on a boat and relax as you float down the river and the guide makes sure you see everything. The canoe tour gives you the opportunity to paddle your way down the river at your own rhythm with a guide that will show you everything there is to see. They both sounded great to me, that’s why I had hard time trying to decide which one to take.

After some thinking I decided to take the boat tour and I have to say that it couldn’t have been better.

One of the things I loved the most was that not only you get the opportunity to see many different species of animals, but will also learn from the guides, who are very well trained, and from the looks on their faces, you can tell how much they enjoy sharing their knowledge with you.

You wouldn’t believe the amount of birds and monkeys I saw during the boat ride. As you can see this tour is perfect for nature lovers.

As you can see this tour is perfect for nature lovers. So if you visit the Arenal area in your Costa Rican vacation I dare all of you to try this unforgettable trip, especially if you are a wildlife lover or an enthusiast photographer.

I have traveled to Arenal, Costa Rica many times and have stayed in many hotels of the area and I must admit liked them all. But there was something about this hotel that made me love it! The first thing that has to be said is that this hotel is located right in front of the ever active volcano called Arenal Volcano.

The first thing that has to be said is that this hotel is located right in front of the ever active volcano called Arenal Volcano. It gives great lava shows almost every night. So why not spend some time in the area at a safe distance of course.

As I implied before many hotels have been established in the area because of this natural attraction. But for my taste Arenal Nayara Hotel & Gardens is one of the best. I went there with my husband and 5 year old son and we all had a great time. It is a luxury resort with what I consider to be the best views of the Arenal Volcano in the area.

It’s also quite popular among honeymooners. How is a hotel with a small kid friendly policy a popular pace for honeymoons? Well the answer is quite obvious when you walk into the property.

To end this article I have to say that Arenal is a great place to visit, especially for adventure seekers. That is because of the amount of tours offered, such as canopy, hikes to the Arenal Volcano, hanging bridges, horseback rides and the list goes on.

I was once told by a Tica friend that there was a place in Costa Rica that could only be accessed is by boat and if you are lucky some days by car through a rocky dirt road. She said that there is a wonderful hotel right where the beach becomes a rain forest in that place.

The place I’m talking about is called Drake Bay in the Costa Rican Osa Peninsula. And the hotel is called Jinetes de osa.

Just as my friend said it is a place away from the civilization. I arrived by boat after a very long journey but it was worth the trouble. At first all I could see was a small cabin that melted with the vegetation but as I got closer I saw that it was the hotel and was bigger that looked from the distance. This hotel has only 9 rooms. This assures that the place will never be crowded. When I got there the hotel was hosting only 2 other families.

The place is very inviting wherever you look you will get amazing ocean views, beautiful forest views, you might even see some monkeys. At least I did! But what I was truly thrilled with was the fact that the next morning the howls oh howler monkeys woke me up.

Drake Bay is one of Costa Rican’s most isolated and tranquil places where any nature lover would feel at home.

Drake Bay is one of Costa Rican’s most isolated and tranquil places where any nature lover would feel at home. It is also close enough to the rest of the world and Corcovado National Park which is said to be the most biologically intense place on earth. Plus you can stay in this wonderful hotel. What else could a traveler want?

A honeymoon can be the trip of a lifetime, but if you’re on a budget and trying not to spend too much money, the planning stage can be stressful. It is possible to save on your honeymoon and still not sacrifice the overall quality of your vacation experience. Being open to creative options can save you a lot of money while bringing a lot of excitement to your trip. Here is a list of the top 10 tips for planning affordable honeymoons:

1. Select a time of year to travel when the majority of tourists will be absent. By doing this, it is possible to cut the costs of the journey to certain locales by half. As an example, it is possible to visit a number of Caribbean locations inexpensively during the summer months.

2. As soon as you know where you want to go, get your air travel booking in as quickly as possible. If you wait to book your flight until 30 days or less of your planned departure date, most airlines are going to charge you a penalty. If at all possible, the best way to save money on airfare is to use a frequent flyer account and a credit card for that airline. The most recent trip my wife and I took was to Italy, and we used our frequent flyer miles to go. During the month, we will use our United Airline credit card to pay for things, and by the time we need to get away, we’ll have accumulated enough miles to go where we want to.

3. As is the case with flight tickets, it is important to book hotel rooms early also. Especially in the non-peak time frames, room costs may be subject to negotiation. Anyone looking to save money and who does not mind a change of pace may find staying at a bed and breakfast or booking an apartment rental to be great options.

4. Know the sightseeing attractions that you want to see and try to pick an area relatively central and accessible to the places and attractions you want to frequent. If you can arrange to stay at a hotel within walking distance of major sights, you can save a small fortune by avoiding taxi fares. This also enables you to maximize your time by not having to spend valuable minutes and hours traveling to various attractions.

5. Watch where the locals are eating, and go where they are going so you can be guaranteed quality. When you visit another country and only want American food, you will find you are going to have to pay more money for it, and you won’t be getting the experience of local cuisine.

6. Perhaps one of the most important rules of planning affordable honeymoons involves being aware of exchange rates with regard to different currencies; moreover, know where to get the best exchanges as well (ATMs often have great exchange rates). Merchants know these rates all too well and will offer you prices in local and US currency that will never be in your favor if you let them.

7. The best money to use when you are overseas is the credit card for several reasons: you won’t have to worry so much about pickpockets, you will usually receive a good exchange rate on things you buy, you will have to worry less about carrying local currency, and you will have a nice way to show everywhere you went.

8. Shopping, of course is one of the most fun things to do on any honeymoon, but knowing what to shop for is the key. Have a game plan as to the people you want to shop for and what items are best from the locale that you are visiting. This will cut down on useless, tacky gifts that will either collect dust or just end up being “re-gifted”.

9. Travel light. Regardless of where you go or how long you will be there, you never really need as much as you pack. Besides, odds are you will likely buy some clothing mementos on your trip as well. Often, you’ll find great deals on extraordinary hand-made clothing and crafts from the local vendors.

10. When traveling outside the U.S., the best way to travel is to use public transportation because it’s cost efficient and will most likely always be an experience. This could also be the best way for you to experience the culture the place you are visiting has to offer!

This list is intended to give honeymooners a great set of tips to use in order to save money, and I hope it has helped. It isn’t always easy to plan affordable honeymoons, but it can be an adventure in itself. What’s best is the more things you have in your control before you actually leave, the better time you will have to relax and enjoy your trip.

When you find the person you want to spend the rest of your life with and decide it is time to commit yourself to marriage there are lots you need to consider. After spending months, and for some even years planning a day that includes everyone you want to share your special day with it is finally time for you and your spouse to go on a honeymoon. I would like to tell you about Caribbean honeymoon destinations.

You can understand from the climate alone why this destination is one of the most popular and with the idyllic scenery and surroundings it is like being a part of your own dream.

You can get everything you want with you and if you are thinking of buying the honeymoon as a wedding present then you should definitely look at the all inclusive packages that allow you to enjoy all there is to offer while taking nothing more than the money that you want to buy souvenirs for those back home.

The foods that are available usually come in a buffet style which means you are able to eat what you want when you want it so if you want a lie in one day, or all of them you can go for it without worrying about missing breakfast.

Comparing these beaches to many others around the world you can pretty much see through the water to the bottom which is one of the main reasons so many of the movies we know and love are shot here. Even the marine life is happy to greet you and you can go for a ride with dolphins or try your hand at jet skiing knowing that you are safe at all times.

Taking shade under a palm tree seems like a million miles away until you actually get to do it. Just tasting the fresh fruits that are sold on the beach will give you a taste of the sweet sun.

Everyone here, both local people and those who work in your hotel will be welcoming towards you and even those of you who dont want to leave children behind can easily be accommodated for. Ask before leaving if kids clubs or other childcare is available as you could enjoy both family life and some needed lone time with your new wife or husband.

The US Virgin Islands came into America’s possession in 1917 after Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to it for $25m in gold. At the time, the USA was worried that the Germans would gain control of the islands and use them as a base from which to launch attacks on America.

The status of the US Virgin Islands is one of an organized, unincorporated territory of the United States. This means the residents of the US Virgin Islands are US citizens, but cannot vote in US presidential elections. Therefore, US citizens do not need a passport to visit the US Virgin Islands.

The US Virgin Islands are part virgin Islands archipelago and are located in the Leeward islands of the Lesser Antilles along with the British Virgin Islands. The three main islands of this American territory are called Saint Croix, Saint John and Saint Thomas. There is also a much smaller island called Water Island. All together, there are about 60 islands with a total surface area of 133.73 square miles, although most of the islands are uninhabited.

The four main islands of the US Virgin Islands are known to their residents by nicknames. These are ‘Twin City’ (St. Croix); ‘Rock City’ (St. Thomas); ‘Love City’ (St. John) and ‘Small City’ (Water Island) and their total population was 108,612 in the 2000 census.

Since the 1960′s, the islands turned their focus from agriculture to heavy industry and tourism and the US Virgin Islands are a very popular destination for American tourists and honeymooners. It is very easy for Americans to get there because a passport is not required, the islands are only 1,730 miles east south-east of Miami, the currency is the US dollar and everybody speaks English.

The islands enjoy an arid, pleasant climate. The average temperature in the capital, Charlotte Amelie, is 33c in the summer and 30c in the winter. September to November are the wettest months and February and March are the driest. The USVI are subject to hurricanes. Hurricane Hugo in 1989 was particularly devastating, but the islands were also hit in 1998, 1999 and 2008.

Tourism is the industry that most of the islanders are engaged in and about 2,000,000 people visit every year, many of them on cruise liners. St Thomas and St Croix are the best equipped to deal with tourists offering hotels and resorts along with lovely beaches and fine restaurants. Water sports are the main activity, although tourists can also hire horses or jeeps to discover the interior of the US Virgin Islands.
