Switzerland with Adventures Abroad

Ambergris Caye – Almost UnBelizeable
This will be the final post from the amazing trip Alison and I took through Central America with Adventures Abroad last February, led by their extraordinary guide, Victor Romagnoli.

I’m finding it hard to believe, but we are headed for the final country in Victor Romagnoli’s guided tour of all seven Central American countries for Adventures Abroad. We have just wrapped up an amazing eight days in Guatemala capped off by a visit to the best Mayan site I’ve ever seen – Tikal. This […]
