Nicaragua Travel Guide: A Paradise Perfect for Bud Nicaragua Travel Guide: A Paradise Perfect for Budget Travelers 🇳🇮 By @alexiadms: “Last year, my husband and I organized a trip from Ushuaia to Alaska. We wanted to travel the Pan-American Highway and planned to visit all the countries that traverse this 30,000 km road. The goal was to travel for six months from January to August. But with the pandemic, we had to go back to France. This year, we decided to travel again and start our journey on this epic road. Nicaragua was on the list and borders were open! Nicaragua looked like an amazing country with many hidden gems to explore. When we travel, we try to have just a bare minimum of information about a country so we have no preconceived notions and can simply enjoy what we see in front of our eyes as we go from destination to destination. We spent more or less two weeks in Nicaragua. It was definitely not enough time! We arrived in Granada from Costa Rica by bus with a company called Ticabus. The journey across the border was very easy and smooth. Granada is a colorful city. We really loved the atmosphere here. Then we spent a few days on Isla de Ometepe which is an incredibly unique island with two volcanoes in the middle of a giant lake. Next, we took a rest at Laguna de Apoyo Nature Reserve to appreciate the sun and warm water. Finally, we finished our trip in Leon – a peaceful and safe city. It was a short trip of around two weeks but we made some great memories.” Link in Bio for the full article 🇳🇮 #nicaragua #backpacking #budgettravel #centralamerica #visitnicaragua #nicaragua🇳🇮 #isladeometepe #ometepe #león #granadanicaragua #lagunadeapoyo #centralamericatravel #travelinspiration
Hiking The Narrows at Zion National Park - A Class Hiking The Narrows at Zion National Park - A Classic American Hike 🇺🇸 By Meghan Gallagher (@bymeghang): “The Narrows was on our list for a while. I won’t lie, I’m not one to voluntarily get into the water. At the beach I might take a dip to cool down but I’m not a fan of water. However, hiking The Narrows is a bucket list thing – so I knew I would suck it up and enjoy the ride. My fiance was not going to let me leave Zion without doing the hike! I embraced it and I’m so glad I did. We had a fantastic experience hiking The Narrows. We started our trek at noon and came out at 4pm. The terrain was a bit slippery but we rented wooden walking sticks which turned out to be a god-send Some of the rocks can be very slick. I wore chacos because we hiked Angels Landing beforehand. It was easy to change out of my hiking boots and into my chacos (both were light enough to carry in a bookbag). The scenery on this hike was unreal! Every time you turn a corner at The Narrows, you are amazed all over again.” Link in Bio for the full article 🇺🇸 #thenarrows #zionnationalpark #zion #utah #utahisrad #utahgram #utahunique #visittheusa #america #hikingculture #adventureisoutthere
Magical Experiences in Valladolid- Your Hub for Ex Magical Experiences in Valladolid- Your Hub for Exploring Yucatan 🇲🇽 By @thesmoothescape: “We spent about five days in Valladolid and its surrounding areas. My favorite thing about the city of Valladolid was how laid back and authentic it felt. In many other Mexican cities, we were often bombarded by souvenir sellers, restaurant owners, tour operators, etc. It felt like everyone was competing for our attention and after a while, it got a little exhausting. In Valladolid, this was not the case at all. The locals were just going about their daily lives. It was like a breath of fresh air! Somehow this town has remained untouched by mainstream tourism and I hope it stays this way. You might want to visit before it becomes a super popular destination!” Link in Bio for the full article 🇲🇽 #valladolid #yucatan #yucatanmexico #mexico #mexicomagico #mexicotravel #visitmexico #izamal #cenote #chichenitza #travelawesome
How to Best Experience the Havasu Falls of Arizona How to Best Experience the Havasu Falls of Arizona 💦 By @coupleonthemap: “Havasu Falls is not an easily accessible place. This makes the 20 miles round trip hike challenging and the journey much more special. However, once you turn the final corner and see the main waterfall welcoming you into camp, you feel like you are in paradise. Everywhere we looked, there was crisp blue flowing water and it was unlike anything we had ever seen! We feel like everywhere we aimed our camera on this trip ended up as one of the best shots we have ever taken. We would say that Mooney Falls was probably one of the better backdrops and our favorite place. The falls are right at the edge of the campground, so it’s a short and sweet hike. However, there is a descent to get to the bottom. You pass through a small rock tunnel (not easy for Lauriane who is claustrophobic), then climb down a set of ladders that can get slippery due to the proximity of the falls. It’s a bit scary but also makes you feel alive. Then, once you are down there, you continue a few miles to Beaver Falls for more amazing views.” Link in Bio for the full article 💦 #havasufalls #havasu #havasupai #arizona #grandcanyon #grandcanyonnationalpark #visitarizona #visittheusa
The Journey Back to Herself in Beautiful Bonaire ( The Journey Back to Herself in Beautiful Bonaire (Dutch Caribbean) 🇧🇶 By @puckkroonsberg: “When I went to Bonaire, it was my first time and I had no expectations. I believe it’s best to go with little expectations – so you arrive with an open mind. Bonaire is a small island with around 20,000 inhabitants. Some say there is not much to do but I disagree as you can create your own adventures, if you surround yourself with likeminded people. If you love surfing, snorkeling, diving and feel like you want to take time for yourself to grow – Bonaire is made for you. It’s truly a magical island if you are willing to see and create your own beautiful journey. I would say the most beautiful journey that you can make is the journey back to yourself. As whenever you are in the world, you will always have: yourself.” Link in Bio for the full article 🇧🇶 #bonaire #bonaireisland #bonairetourism #dutchcaribbean #caribbean
Crowley Lake Columns: A Magical Natural Wonder of Crowley Lake Columns: A Magical Natural Wonder of California 🇺🇸 by @wanderingbru: “When I got to the road to reach the trail, it was impassable. I didn’t have a high clearance 4WD but I knew it was only 2.5 miles to get there. So, I decided to walk. It was the best decision ever! The views were stunning and the mountains were still covered in snow. The Eastern Sierra Mountains looked precious. I reached the beach and had the whole place to myself! I spent about four hours at the beach and columns exploring, walking on the frozen lake all the way to the end of the columns. They have different shapes and sizes and I was fascinated to be able to see and walk through them. It was so unique to have a chance to walk on the frozen lake!” Link in Bio for the full article! #california #visitcalifornia
