La Santisima Trinidad de Parana and Jesus de Tavarangue were inscribed together in 1993 as a single property. They are Paraguay's only World Heritage inscription, and they are two stops rather than one.
Lake Titicaca is high, vast and cold, and it is the center of Andean origin tradition rather than a scenic lake with a story attached. Isla del Sol is where that tradition is anchored.
Potosi was for a time one of the largest and richest cities on earth, and the reason was the mountain above it. Understanding what was taken out of Cerro Rico, and who was made to take it, is the point of going.
The Salar de Uyuni is the image most people have of Bolivia before they know anything else about it. It is also, contrary to what almost everyone assumes, not a World Heritage Site.
Panama is small and mostly well connected, and it has one genuinely modern metro system and several journeys that are an experience whether or not you wanted one.
Panama is hot and humid almost everywhere and cold in one specific place. The packing problem is humidity rather than temperature, and the second problem is that some of the best parts of the country sell nothing.
Panama uses the United States dollar. The balboa is the national unit, it is pegged one to one, and you will only ever meet it as change in your hand.
Panama has a clear dry season and a clear wet one, and the Caribbean side does not entirely agree with either. The country is sixty kilometers wide in places, which means you can cross from one weather system to the other before lunch.
Panama is one of the easier countries in the region to travel slowly. The distances are short, the medical care in the capital is genuinely good, and the heat is the thing to plan around rather than the terrain.
Panama sits nine degrees north of the equator, so the temperature is close to constant and the rain is not. What varies is which coast you are on and how far above the sea.
