I'll be in Costa Rica for only a week and would like to visit Arenal,
Monteverde, and the Guanacaste coast.  The shuttles that I've found

all this traveling in such a short period of time, I wonder if it will

Hi, I'm trying to plan a 3/4 week trip to Perù for June and was wondering

up a car upon arrival in Cancun.  My question concerns the drive from Cancun
to Merida, with an overnight stop in the Chichen Itza area.
I see from the map that there's a choice of the old Rte 180, and ...

My girlfriend and I intend to travel to Peru this summer and spend
time in Cusco. Neither of us know very much spanish and havwe never
travelled abroad. Will we be in any danger, or will we be able to
navigate around.

Looks like we'll be in Guadalajara next week, flying in 4/7, departing
4/14.
