Chichen-Itza (Inscribed)

Chichen-Itza

I visited Chichen Itza in 2003 with my family, when you could still climb on and in the El Castillo pyramid. It's very enjoyable and iconic, I guess, but it …

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

For one day of our Palau vacation, we decided to rent a car and have a self-made circle-island tour of Babeldaob, the largest island of Palau. Armed with our Cultural, …

We were pretty thrilled that we arrived in the area in the late afternoon with just enough time to visit Shaubak Castle the evening before we went to Petra. This …

Town of Chichicastenango by Dennis Nicklaus

Town of Chichicastenango (On tentative list)

Town of Chichicastenango

Chichicastenango was a fascinating small city to visit. You don't come for nature's beauty, ancient stone artifacts, or grand palaces, but for its unique living culture. The people and their …

Fortified City of Carcassonne by Dennis Nicklaus

Fortified City of Carcassonne (Inscribed)

Fortified City of Carcassonne

I loved Carcassonne with its massive stone walls, pointy turrets, and the inner castle of Chateau Comtal. Sure, Viollet-le-Duc may have taken some artistic license, but the overall result is …

Palenque by Dennis Nicklaus

Palenque (Inscribed)

Palenque

The ancient Maya city of Palenque amazed me in its diversity. After walking in the main upper entrance, you first come across a row of pyramids. The last of these …

Tikal National Park by Dennis Nicklaus

Tikal National Park (Inscribed)

Tikal National Park

Tikal was the first ancient Maya site that I ever visited, and it remains my favorite one. I've since visited about 20 others, but Tikal still stands above them all. …

Rapa Nui

Like many of the people I talked to there, getting to Easter Island and seeing its Moai was something I've wanted to do since I was a child. It totally …

Rock Islands by Dennis Nicklaus

Rock Islands

The button-shaped, jungle covered islands Rock Islands were nice and interesting to see above the water as we cruised around on our tour, but the real attractions are below the …

We visited Taputapuatea in 1991 when we had a short vacation on Raiatea. Taputapuatea is a set of ancient Polynesian marae, which you can think of as a large open …
