We visited Tikal last year, the whole trip was a real adventure. We drove across 3 different borders, were stuck on the road for more than 5 hours in the middle of nowhere in Guatemala due to a locals protest, no one showed up at the front desk in the hotel we were supposed to stay at close to the National Park and we had to look for another place to crash the night at midnight. The day we went to the ruins was raining probably 90% of the time we were there. We still had a blast and nothing stoped us from enjoying the beauty and charm of this Mayan Temples!! . . . #tikal #guatemala #getaway #roadtripadventure #3borders #mayanruins #mayantemples #rainnyday #letsgoadventuring #stuckintraffic #travelphoto #travelphotography #travelaroundthegalaxy #birthdaytrip #ancienttemples #nationalpark #tbt #traveladventures #centroamerica #buildingmemories #travelgram #jungle
The numerous classic cars you find throughout Havana was one of the highlights of our trip to Cuba, bringing a wide range of colours to the city. This Crown Victoria was in pretty good shape considering it was over 50 years old. . . . #travel #cuba #havana #classiccars #havanacuba #crownvictoria #colourful #lahabana #caribbean #travelcuba #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #cars #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring
Vancouver has several great beaches located along the shores of English Bay. On the west side, Locarno beach is one of our favourites, as the views of the city and mountains are great from this vantage point. . . . #travel #vancouver #canada #beach #locarno #britishcolumbia #summer #explorebc #vancouvercanada #imagesofcanada #dailyviewbc #livelovecanada #explorebc #explorecanada #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #lifegaurd #photography #travelohotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring
New York has many great public parks and plazas throughout the city. This George Washington statue (with the Empire State Building in the background) is located in Union Square, in the heart of Manhattan. It is a central hub for many of the cities subway lines, which means you will likely end up here at some point during your visit. . . . #travel #newyork #nyc #newyorkcity #unionsquare #travelusa #city #park #georgewashington #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #ilovenewyork #photography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring
Last fall we had some adventures in the Canadian Rockies, and were lucky(?) to see some incredible snow covered landscapes. We arrived a day after the first snowfall, we were more prepared for fall and not winter, but we still went on some amazing hikes. This was our view of Lake Louise from above during our afternoon of hiking towards the glaciers. . . . #travel #canada #lakelouise #banff #banffnationalpark #alberta #nature #travelalberta #parkscanada #rockymountains #canadianrockies #imagesofcanada #hiking #nationalpark #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring
Who doesn’t love flying with the sunset that as you are moving through different time zones you feel like you are chasing the sun and a sun setting lasts forever!! . . . #sunset #sunsetlovers #chasingsunsets #flight #eveningflight #overthesea #caribbeanlife #cozumel #islandlife #gosomewhere #letsgoadventuring #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #lifeisfun #watchingsunset #travelgram #sun #travelphotography #travelphoto
Iguazu falls was one of our top highlights from our trip to South America. It has to be considered as one of the best waterfalls you can visit anywhere in the world, and the sound of endless water falling is something we will never forget. . . . #travel #argentina #iguazu #iguazufalls #cataratasdeliguazu #southamerica #visitargentina #travelsouthamerica #waterfalls #waterfallwednesday #waterfall #cataratas #beautifulplaces #exploringtheglobe #nature #natureisamazing #photography #travelohotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring
The best part about wandering around New York, is you’re never really lost. It’s how you find the best places that you didn’t even know you were looking for. Washington Square Park is one of those spots I’ve stumbled upon several times while walking around Manhattan. . . . #travel #newyork #nyc #washingtonsquarepark #city #newyorkcity #beautifulplaces #urbanpark #exploringtheglobe #fountain #park #travelusa #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring
For all the outdoors enthusiasts, Garibaldi Lake was one of the couple of hikes that I did first and I cannot say anything but good things about this place, I remember the hike was challenging for me. Was a long one and one of the guys in our group had never hiked before and was not prepared for anything like this, he was wearing fancy sneakers and had not enough water nor any snacks. I was upset because he didn’t say anything until we were half way there, we all had to portion our water consumption to share some with him; and then we got here... and nothing else mattered! This view made me absolutely happy. We couldn’t go any further since Panorama Ridge was still closed at that moment, but this place was pretty amazing! . . . #garibaldilake #panoramaridge #squamish #beautifulbc #explorebc #britishcolumbia #lake #outdoorslover #hiking #letsgoadventuring #lovethisview #travelphotography #travelaroundthegalaxy #canada #mountainpic #picoftheday #travelgram

We came across with this cutie on our way out from Punta Sur park, it’s amazing all the fauna you can see in this ecological reserve. It is very important that we learn how interact with them without invading their habitat and respect their space. . . . #puntasur #ecoparks #turismosustentable #ecoturism #naturalhabitat #raccoon #islandlife #wildlifephotography #letsgoadventuring #travelphotography #respectnature #naturalreserve #dontfeedtheanimals #travelaroundthegalaxy #beautifulcreatures #adventureday #everythingisconnected
This is a picture from a few years ago, found inside the Museum of Natural History museum in New York. It is one of the giant heads from Easter Island. One day we hope to visit to Easter Island, to see heads like this one in their natural surroundings. . . . #travel #easterisland #nyc #newyork #museum #newyorkcity #americanmuseumofnaturalhistory #history #usatravel #exploringtheglobe #photography #travelphotography #travelphoto #travelpics #travelgram #throwback #traveltheworld #travelaroundthegalaxy #letsgoadventuring
