No. But our 2004 trip is right next door -- Panama. On the way we will
visit the Copper Canyon, Mexico City and the Yucatan Peninsula.
We travel alone and have taken 3 trips of 3 or 4 weeks each to visit all
the South America countries except Columbia (for obvious reaasons).
Send a report of your trip whichever you choose. Don.
