Let me show you, from a real Latina perspective, some of the best ways to combine culture and adventure at these North (Mexico), Central and South American destinations.

I hand picked these destinations based on 3 main reasons: cultural appeal, great value for what they offer, and adventure.

There are many cultures within Hispanic America that when traveling, taking it easy will help you enjoy to soak in the culture.

Hispanic culture varies amongst the countries that are part of it, therefore foods, traditions, celebrations, Catholicism, and even language are not all the same.

Yes, we understand each other's Spanish but there are dialects, yes we all eat tamales but they are not prepared the same way, yes we are mostly Catholic but we practice and celebrate a bit differently from country to country... So be prepared to absorb the differences and enjoy the ride.

In this section I try to give you pointers and tips on how to enjoy a particular place I recommend as well as a brief understanding of what you will be visiting.

It is only my opinion or my friends' opinion as many of my articles are based on actual Hispanic travel I have done or interviews with native Latin Americans who know the places well.

Today Latin American travel can be specialized also. You can book your trip to be gastronomic, adventurous, archeological, relaxing, cultural, and many more. I recommend you to think ahead and decide what kind of trip you want to experience.

I mostly like cultural and adventurous trips that take minimum two weeks, where I don't have to be pressured by rigid schedules and where I can mix with the locals. Bear in mind we travel with our son who loves it, therefore most of the information I include is appropriate for families.

Enjoy and take some time to do some Hispanic travel...I will assure you will enjoy it!
