Amtrak

Belice 2022 – Día del Asentamiento Garifuna
La celebración del Día del Asentamiento Garífuna regresó tras su ausencia debido al COVID-19.

CUBATrek 2022 – Santiago de Cuba
Santiago, antigua capital de Cuba, es una provincia portuaria llena de vida. Cuenta con una rica historia y, aunque mi interés se centraba en el béisbol, por fin pude visitar el cuartel de Moncada.
