Lying 100 miles east of the Windward Islands, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, Barbados was once known as the Gateway to the West
Indies.A British Colony for 340 years until independence, you could easily be forgiven for thinking you were back in England. Apart from the almost non-stop sunshine and high temperatures, the cricket, afternoon teas
and many English sounding names remind you of England. Barbados has its share of glorious beaches, excellent golf and of course innumerable waters sports. While the west and south sides of the island has the main
resorts, the east and north have spectacular wild beaches with crashing surf and almost deserted coastline. A small fee will hire you a taxi and guide to show you around this beautiful and typical Caribbean island.

Mention Brazil and most people conjure up images of flamboyant carnivals, the statue of Christ and the infamous Ronnie Biggs the Great
Train robber. Brazil is this and far more.The country is the worlds' largest coffee producer and is a fascinating blend of Latin American and European cultures. Rio with its pulsating lifestyle to sophisticated
Buenos Aires with its Paris like tree-lined boulevards is enough to get the mind racing. A good excursion is to see the Iguacu Falls, a 2 miles wide precipice with a total of 275 falls, giving rise to clouds of
rainbow colored spray. For the ecological minded this country has rain forests, fantastic unspoilt beaches and of course the mighty Amazon. |

Mexico has a lot to offer, great beaches, ancient ruins, rain forests, spicy food and friendly people. The Mexican people descendents of
the Mayan race maybe small in statue but are big on hospitality.Some of the resorts in Cancun are bold and brash but there is a lot more to this country than high-rise hotels and rich American tourists. There's the
ancient Pyramids at Chichen Itza, the temples at Tullum, the underground river at Xcaret which although is a large tourist attraction blends well with nature. It's a vast country with a poor road network so you have
to plan your excursions carefully. The second largest reef in the world is just off shore and is a divers paradise. |
