Brazil - Fran explores Salvador and the Chapada Diamantina National Park
My favourite country in Latin America is Brazil, there is still so much of it I am yet to explore.

Jonny in Panama
Is there more to Panama than the Canal? Jonny finds out. "So what do you know about Panama?" asked Gus, my guide, as we drove from the airport into Panama City. I paused, racking my brains for names of famous Panamanian dignitaries, historical figures or at worst, footballers, but none came to mind... Read more»
