Fort Lauderdale, 40 kms north of Miami, is America's Spring Break capital and a prime family tourist destination, attracting more than 10 million visitors annually. It bears the nickname "Venice of America", with more than 300 miles of navigable waterways. Visit the newly redesigned Fort Lauderdale Beach- famed as the "Yachting Capital of the World," with more than 40,000 registered crafts - and cafes, stroll the historic Riverwalk, shop the luxurious stores on Las 
Olas Boulevard, visit world-class theaters, museums or venture to the Everglades for an intriguing air boat excursion.

Founded by the Spanish colonists, on June 1, 1533, in a protected bay in the Caribbean Sea, Cartagena has the most extensive fortifications in South America. A system of zones divides the city into three neighbourhoods: downtown San Pedro, with the cathedral and many Andalusian-style palaces; quiet San Diego, where merchants and the middle class lived; and Gethsemani, the 'popular quarter' with plenty of night clubs. Its fortifications, constructed by the Spanish, are today a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town the walls protected is also part of that World Heritage designation. Cruise visitors can walk those deeply textured alleyways today through some of the best-preserved colonial neighborhoods of the Americas. There are nice beaches ready to enjoy, such as the busy Bocagrande, which is close to the city and the quiet Playa Blanca, in the south, across the bay.

Fuerte Amador is a man-made island in Panama that connects four islands, Flamenco, Perico, Culebra and Naos, to the mainland. It is a former United States Army base, built to protect the southern end of the Panama Canal at Panama Bay. Today the Fuerte Amador is a busy and lively cruise port. Visitors can admire exceptional museums, archeological ruins, colonial streets, churches, and monuments and buy beautiful handicrafts made by the local people.

Our visit to Puntarenas, the capital and largest city in the Province of Puntarenas, on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, is a discovery of the richness of the area. If you choose a nature tour, you will see the rainforest from up high during a canopy tour through wispy ferns, winding lianas and delicate orchids. There is also a possibility to taste nature’s bounty at one of the plantations which produce the country’s famously rich coffee. If you prefer to relax, just lay back, surrounded by lush palms and crystal clear waters. You may also choose a trip to Monteverde National Park (80 kms distance), which is considered a major ecotourism destination in Costa Rica, an island which may look small, but it conceals mysterious cloud forests, quiet beaches and extraordinary wildlife, that have granted her the title "The Switzerland of Central America".

Acajutla is a seaport city in Sonsonate Department, El Salvador. The city is located on the Pacific Coast of Central America and is El Salvador's principal seaport from which a large portion of the nation's exports of coffee, sugar, and Balsam of Peru are shipped. Spanish conquistador Pedro de Alvarado, under the command of Hernán Cortés, had conquered Mexico and Guatemala before coming to the vicinity of Acajutla. There he met heavy resistance, but defeated the indigenous people in 1524 and conquered all of present-day El Salvador at the Battle of Acajutla. The port of Acajutla was built in its initial phase at a cost of 25 million colones. The wave breaker of 338 meters inaugurated its operations in August 1961, and is managed by the Executive Commission of Autonomous Port (CEPA).

Guatemala's largest Pacific Ocean port is also the gateway to some of the most fascinating and beautiful sightseeing in the country. Head north, through plantations where the air is perfumed with sugar cane and coffee, across mountain ridges overlooking beautiful Lake Atitlan, take a rigorous hiking trip on Pacaya Volcano with a countryside drive or a full-day tour from the coast, past volcano-guarded mountains, to the colonial capital of Antigua, where cobblestone streets and period architecture evoke the area's age-old Spanish colonial heritage. The charming town, located 4,500 feet above sea level, is also a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for both its colorful Spanish Mudéjar-influenced Baroque architecture and its many ruins of colonial churches. Naturalists can opt for Los Tarrales and a bird-watching trip to a nature reserve in the cloud forest or Auto Safari Chapin is a scenic drive through an open-air wildlife park. One tour of extreme historical interest is the Copan Route of the Mayas at Copan Archaeological Park.

The Port of Chiapas is a port in Puerto de San Benito in the southern part of the Mexican state of Chiapas. Chiapas is a mountainous state with pristine lakes, rivers, national parks and picturesque little Mexican villages. It is worth visiting Palenque, an archaeological site famous for the ruins of a Mayan city dating from about 600 AD to 800 AD.

Squeezed into the thin space between Banderas Bay and the verdant folds of the Sierra Madre, Puerto Vallarta might no longer be the well-kept secret of the artists, writers and Hollywood stars who first "discovered" it in the 1960s, however, it still retains the essence of the fishing village it once was.

The Old Town, Viejo Vallarta, is a mix of red-tiled buildings, cobbled streets, chic shops and busy open markets. During your visit, don't miss a walk at Gringo Gulch- known as the most romantic spot in the world- a swim at Mismaloya Beach and Conchas Chinasand for extra doses of adrenaline, choose hiking into the rugged canyons and luxuriant jungles of the mountains.

San Diego is a huge coastal city on the Pacific Ocean in Southern California. The city is located north of the Mexican border, across from Tijuana. San Diego is an incredible place to visit almost any time of the year due to its mild Mediterranean climate. The city’s landscape is shaped by canyons, flat lands and rolling hills. The Old Town is within walking distance from the port.
