It’s somehow been historically overshadowed by bigger destinations like Costa Rica and Guatemala, but that trend seems …

Stunning, warm, and beachy – no wonder so many Americans are falling in love with Costa Rica each passing year. After announcing a brand-new tourism record in January, the Central American country is still welcoming more U.S. travelers than ever (and to think peak season hasn’t even started yet!).

Not that long ago, you’d probably laugh at the prospect of gang-dominated El Salvador, where corruption is supposedly endemic and violent crime is rampant, ever featuring on a mainstream list of the world’s safest countries.

Other than the incredible food, hospitable locals, world-class resort stays and unbeatable balmy weather, one of the many reasons why Americans flock into Los Cabos in Mexico is the sun-kissed coast lapped by azure waters.

When you think of Latin America, it’s probably tourism giants like Mexico, Argentina and Colombia that come to mind, and that’s only understandable: Between one’s luxurious Caribbean resorts and ancient Mayan sites and the others’ charming colonial cities and delectable street food, they’re often a first-time visitor’s preferred pick when planning a trip to the …

With September fast approaching, it’s nearly time to start planning that fall getaway, and if you haven’t yet had the chance to go somewhere nice and warm this year already, where you get pampered and bask in the sun, Cancun is likely to be at the top of your list.
