Exploring life's off-the-beaten-path options.
Looks like everybody is talking about the Mayas these days. A lot of things have been said about the end of the 13th Baktun. Well, I think it is the perfect moment to remember the Mayan ruins I have visited (goes with the recounts I have been doing to celebrate this blog’s second anniversary). Most [...]
The end of 2012 is rapidly approaching. On top of that, the second anniversary of Tanama Tales is around the corner. What better way to celebrate than remembering some of the best adventures of these past two years? Today, I bring you a recount of the Top Charming Cities and Towns we have visited. [...]
How much do you know about El Salvador? This small Central American country does not receive the attention it deserves. I have visited many times and still feel like I have only scratched the surface. The truth is that El Salvador is more “developed” and varied than many people think. Here are some interesting facts [...]
At the ticket counter in San Salvador, I felt relieved when the agent told me it was possible to travel to Copan, Honduras without passing throughout Tegucigalpa. We weren’t sure there was such an option. Time and hassle saving thoughts inundated our minds. All the effusiveness evaporated when we saw the transport. We ended on [...]

Sorry about the title but this post is not about eating bugs or organs in El Salvador. Instead I am using the word crazy because that is the adjective used to describe the types of food I am eager to present you. Well, I may know what you are thinking. Actually, in El Salvador the [...]
What happens when a Puerto Rican is surrounded by dozens of Salvadorans? Well, being as nice as they are, they make sure you taste some of the culinary offerings of the country. I am not even sure why I am using the term “culinary”. They will offer you some delicious typical dishes (that’s a given). [...]
Concepcion de Ataco is a town situated in the western mountain ranges of El Salvador. It is located in the department of Ahuachapan across the popular Flowers Route (Ruta de la Flores). You don’t have to use the full town name. Everybody knows the place by Ataco. To me, this is the most beautiful town [...]
