Travel Forum / Destinations / Latin America / February 2004

I will be in Tierra del Fuego in late February, but I'm not sure what
kind of clothing to bring.  How cold is it there?  What kind of wind
chill?  What kind of snow cover?
Thank for any tips!

Has anyone used the Yucatan Express?  I'd appreciate hearing about the
experience, or even if the company is still operating.  Their web site is still
up, but their schedule looks like it might be out of date.  Muchas gracias!

What vaccines are recommended before going to Argentina (other than
hepathitis A & B)?
Depending on the travel clinic I call, I am being told to take yellow fever,
typhoid fever or cholera !?

I'm planning on spending a month going from Tijuana to Oaxaca and back. Is a month long enough, how much should I expect to spend and most importantly is this a trip worth doing or should I simply fly to Mexico City and spend a month just travelling around southern Mexico?

 I don't know about you, but  I find life in the US pretty boring, and I

here's the plan. Our plane gets in (supposedly) at 4:30. We were originally
going to grab the rental car and head straight  to our hotel in Valladolid,
but I am revising that plan because there is no room for late planes, lost
luggage, night driving, general hassles,  etc. So it ...

I am planning a vacation to Mexico during the first week of March.
Will I find less rain & cloudy days in Puerto Vallerta or Cancun?
Anything else about the weather in these 2 places would be
appreciated.

Has anyone played much tennis while staying in Oaxaca or Puerto
Escondido? I'm curious if there is any possibility to meet someone to
play with, and if it is ever possible to borrow or rent a racquet. I'd
love to bring mine, but my travel partner does not play and I want to

My wife and I are interested in visiting Tulum, Coba, Chichen Itza,
and Uxmal around May of this year.
Right now, we are looking for budget hotels and tours on the internet.
Any recommendations from recent travelers?

My wife and I are considering visiting Peru, and possibly Boliva, this year.
Our thoughts at the moment are flying (from UK) to Lima and then walking the
Inca trail, ending at Manchu Pichu, before making our way to Lake Titicaca
and La Paz.  We are looking to be away for about 17 ...

Dear fellow travelers,
In March I will be making my first trip through Mexico.
God willing, I will fly into Mexico City and will fly out of Cancun
twelve days later.

Enjoy.

Just curious...
Anyone use Costa Rica's private taxis to cross long distances?   Yes...I know
its more money than tourists buses...
When you take a private taxi (San Jose to Fortuna)...will the drivers generally

Although March is during the dry season, you will still need some kind of
rain wear.   Also, insect repellent.
