Claire in Uruguay
In late November I jumped at the chance to escape the cold for a week in South America’s second-smallest nation, Uruguay. In the shadows of neighbouring giants Argentina and Brazil, Uruguay’s more subtle charms are often overlooked but are nonetheless plentiful. I arrived just as the country was wak... Read more»
Sue explores El Salvador and Nicaragua
When the opportunity arose to visit two little-visited countries in Central America, El Salvador and Nicaragua, I jumped at it and returned full of enthusiasm and positive feedback. El Salvador is tiny (about the size of Wales) but with plenty of variety - ancient archaeological ruins, mountains, ra... Read more»
