La Conclusión La Conclusión

Although the rainforests with wildlife, volcanoes, and islands would be beautiful,

I’m not sure I’m adventurous enough to want to go to a country which doesn’t really

promote tourism. You have to obtain both a travel and photography permit, and are

asked by government officials to show them often. I would visit all of the “tourist-friendly”

Spanish-speaking countries first!
