I fu***ng love science

We'll never forget the time we saw one of these colorful killers floating alongside our Raggamuffin Tours sailboat in Caye Caulker. Incredible!

Beautiful, but deadly.

Sad to see these sorts of things happening :( We have to be more responsible and set examples worth following.

Evictions by Armed Men Rattle a Mexican Tourist Paradise

Interesting article in the The New York Times about Tulum and its beach resorts. Given how fast this beach developed over recent decades, makes you wonder what's next.

Aggressive property seizures, apparently legal but surrounded by questions, have shaken the beach town of Tulum and stained its image.

Where to See the World's Holiest Sites

A lot of Border Trampers go to Tikal — but has anyone ever explored El Mirador in Guatemala? "Most visitors hike or travel there by donkey over a few days, camping along the way." 😍😍

The rich history of the world’s great religions adds an extra dimension to these destinations, where ancient temples and thriving cultures continue to draw modern-day visitors.

Hey trampers! Who's out there on the road this month? Spring Break is coming and we can't stop thinking of San Juan del Sur — if you've been, you probably feel the same ;)

Arriving in San Juan del Sur it’s hard not to notice the disproportionate ratio of locals to surfers/travelers. Some might be turned off by the inauthentic “local” feel here, but it can also make for a great change of pace. There are loads of young folks living here from the states or Canada or else…
