This travel web site differs from most in that I try to present a complete picture of the area which includes both the good and the bad. So in addition to the "brochure level" information that you can find here and elsewhere, you will find reports of crime activity, rebel activities, and dangerous surf. Additionally in the Visitors' Comments sections you will hear of some unpleasant experiences of travelers. Actually, the areas are quite safe and anyone who visits can expect to have a great time. The candid information that you will find here is provided to help make sure that you do.
The Maps
There are a number of large (scrolling required) maps of the area. By using a limited number of solid colors, the file size has been kept to a minimum so that these download quickly considering their large dimensions and detail. Available maps are:
