Tampa, Florida
A university town at heart, Tampa has a myriad of attractions: the palatial mansion and art museum of the king of the circus, John Ringling; the king of the jungle at Busch Gardens; the antique village of Ybor Square; the enchanting Sunken Gardens and much more.
Key West, Florida
Climb into the open cockpit of a World War II biplane for an unforgettable aerial tour of Key West-a distinctly American town with the look and feel of the Caribbean. In town, you'll see Ernest Hemingway's home, the "Little White House," where President Truman took his working vacations. Don't miss the Conch culture, coral reefs, sleek racing catamarans and rich fishing grounds that await.
Costa Maya, Mexico
Exploring the dense tropical vegetation and wide sandy bays of the Costa Maya, it's easy to imagine the days when sacrifice and slavery, rite and ritual were rampant in the Mayan culture. Even today, the countless ruins of temple walls, stairs and secret pathways exude magic and mystery. And when your archaeology lesson is complete, glorious stretches of coral sand may inspire you to build your own empire of sand castles, of course!
Santo Tomas de Castilla, Guatemala
Not to be missed is Quirigua National Park, where intricately carved stellae and zoomorphisms conceal the mysteries of a lost world. Santo Tomas de Castilla is your portal to fabulous Mayan ruins in Guatemala and Honduras. In Tikal, the plaza with seven great stone temples is hidden in the jungle; and at Copan you can see the "Paris of the Mayan world."
Belize City, Belize
This tropical paradise promises adventure, both onshore and off. Crystalline rivers flow through impressive lowland jungles, home to a myriad of rare wildlife. Silky sand beaches, waving palms and colorful coral gardens are just part of Belize's natural wonders. Whether mountain biking through a lush rainforest or snorkeling with sharks, you'll experience things you've only imagined.
