I am in the very first steps of exploring a trip to either Belize or Costa Rica. Will be traveling with a friend, not fussy but thought it might be easier to try a lower budget inclusive lodge type setting.
interests are birding, jungle exploration nature hikes etc
Duration probably 8-10 days
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ]]> janellebc https://www.fodors.com/community/mexico-and-central-america/costa-rica-vs-belize-for-birding-hiking-lodge-1735571/ https://www.fodors.com/community/mexico-and-central-america/wintering-and-working-in-panama-1735491/ Thu, 07 May 2026 03:45:24 GMT Hi all, We’ve never been to Panama but we’re looking for someplace new to remote work and spend 4-6 weeks avoiding the snow at home.

We’ve never been to Panama but we’re looking for someplace new to remote work and spend 4-6 weeks avoiding the snow at home. We’re looking for a town that is safe and may be walkable as I like to walk (alone) several miles a day. Having some shops and restaurants nearby a plus, a view or near water also nice but not a must. Is there any place in Panama you would recommend?
TIA!

In December, the office I work at will be closed for 11 days, the day before Christmas through the Sunday before the first Monday of the new year, at least if the schedule is like the previous 13 years since I worked there. This will give me ten nights of travel total. I am trying to figure out how I could plan a trip to the Yucatan area of Mexico. I would like to avoid renting a car if other transportation will do the job good enough. My top sites I would like to see so far are the cities of Campeche and Mérida, and at least the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itzá and Uxmal. I haven’t figure out whether I should stay in Valladolid, and/or Pisté near Chchen itzá. Unfortunately, on google maps, I don’t see a good grocery store in Pisté. If I have extra time I would squeeze in the ruins of Edzná south of Campeche, and/or Ek Balam, north and slightly east of Valladolid. The Mayan ruins of Xcambó, north-east of Mérida, look appealing, but I can sacrifice it if it won’t easily fit into my itinerary. If any of you have traveled to these sites, what was your trip like? What towns did you stay in? Do I need to get in line to enter Chichen Itzá before 8am, the time the site is opened? ]]> michaelpianko https://www.fodors.com/community/mexico-and-central-america/yucatan-and-campeche-trip-in-december-1735397/
