For 5,500 years, the Native Americans of the North American Great Plains killed bison by chasing them off this cliff located in what's now Alberta, Canada. They would then carve up the bison carcasses in the camp below. This is one of the biggest and best preserved buffalo jumps in North America, according to Off the Beaten Path co-founder Pamela Bryan. It was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981. See less

Life is short, and there is an understandable urge to check off the planet’s main attractions first. But you are unlikely to have the Eiffel Tower, the Pyramids or the Taj Mahal to yourself. After a lifetime of travel, I’ve found that the more out-of-the-way places leave the deepest impression. Most people have a list of favorite spots, from a weekend retreat to a bench with a view of the ocean. As someone who's been lucky enough to spend the last 30 years circling the globe, here is mine. From Zen monasteries to Roman villas, French villages to Incan temples, all possess a unique sense of place and inspire a feeling of quiet wonder. If you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity, do seek them out; they are still points of the turning world, serene places filled with immense beauty. And if you get up early enough, you may have them to yourself for a little while. A list of specifically American places will follow soon.

Ever dream about quitting your job and taking off to parts unknown? It's easier than you think. With a bit of careful planning and research, taking an extended vacation can be surprisingly affordable. The secret is to target areas where daily living expenses are lower than those here in America. Even with the weak U.S. dollar, that still leaves a huge portion of the globe to explore. Let’s assume that a typical San Franciscan spends $1,000 per month on rent, $150 on gas, and $150 on utilities. Even without factoring in food and entertainment expenses, that gives them over $43 per day to play with — more than enough to live on in Southeast Asia, Central and South America, Eastern Europe, and Africa. But what about airfare? Since plane tickets are one of the most expensive parts of traveling, it's actually cheaper to stay longer in each destination. Around-the-world tickets may seem like a bargain at first glance, but many require you to lock down your itinerary in advance, and the joys... See less

Many people have a list of places they'd like to visit before they move on to the next world; here are a few American suggestions of my own. For conversation's sake, I have avoided the obvious targets, but a stroll across the Golden Gate Bridge or a trip up the Empire State Building is still definitely worth it. Though we are lucky to live in a beautiful country, I have mostly focused on smaller, manmade sites, simply because a catalog of pretty American places could stretch on forever. This list is admittedly subjective, but comes from 30 years of professional wandering. Some places are more well-known than others, but all share a sense of tranquility and wonder. And since I review small boutique hotels for a living, I have included nearby recommended places to stay. Happy travels!

MAJORCAN summers are infamous for the swells they attract: the billionaires on their megayachts, the movie stars at their mountain estates. Michael Douglas has a house in Deià, and in nearby Sóller, there is an outpost of the Ashram, Malibu’s answer to asceticism, at which studio heads pay thousands of dollars a week to eat like vegan hippies. Then there’s that other summer crowd, the European lads who flood the developments that spread out from lovely, medieval Palma and make the beach scenes there cautionary tales of the evils of alcohol. During the off-season, which runs from fall to early summer, however, this mountainous, gnarled island is largely yours. Set yourself up with a rental car (there’s a lot of driving to be done on this island) and prepare to be hypnotized by ancient terraced landscapes with twisted olive trees, the tiny medieval villages and the extraordinary food and wine.

It was on my radar because I was about to go there, and I'd done my research. For centuries, the Alentejo has been known as a place where delicious things--wine, honey, ham, cheese, herbs, olive oil--come from, rather than as a place that people go to visit. Spread across more than 12,000 square miles of southern Portugal, stretching from the São Mamede Mountains to a chain of secluded Atlantic coves, the Alentejo seems to be populated with little more than grapevines, cork oaks, and herds of acorn-fed black pigs. Towns are small and few. Even the region's name conveys a slightly cast-off status; Alentejo is derived from alem Tejo, or "beyond the Tejo," as the Tagus River is called in Portuguese. But the region is slowly being rediscovered by the Portuguese and foreign travelers alike--whether it's to savor the velvety red wines of the Upper Alentejo (to the north) or to sunbathe on the beaches of the Lower Alentejo (to the south). I drove down from Lisbon, planning to first explore... See less

Balamku Inn on the Beach The rough-hewn fishing village of Mahahual has a split personality: Beach bars buzz with activity when a cruise ship is docked in the small port, but otherwise, its sandy streets are quiet and tourist-free. While kayaking the short distance from Balamku to a nearby reef for an afternoon of snorkeling, consider the vagaries of life: You wouldn't be here now if, in 2000, a road-tripping Canadian couple hadn't missed the exit for Punta Allen. That's how Alan Knight and Carol Tumber ended up in Mahahual for the night. (Alan thought it might be pronounced "ma-ha-ha.") The next morning, they met someone with beachfront land for sale and made an offer on the spot, despite the fact that they'd only been dating for about a year. Balamku opened in 2003, and Carol calls it "a small, totally ecological retreat," pointing out that even the soaps and shampoos are biodegradable. There are two individual whitewashed palapas and a trio of two-story palapas (with a suite on each... See less

Nestled among the rugged cliffs and dense tropical vegetation of Oaxaca’s Pacific coast is La Boquilla, a protected cove of white sand and still turquoise water. Virtually untouched by development, this pristine and secluded location – where osprey circle lazily over a silent beach – is the perfect setting for vacationers seeking a truly unique retreat experience. Protected by small islets and tall headlands the crescent beach provides a perfect setting for those vacationers seeking a truly unique retreat, for those who would rather hear the whisper of a gentle fan than the whirr of the air conditioner; for those who prefer snorkel and a sea kayak to the roar of a jet ski; for those who wish to share yoga and sunrise meditation in an eco-sensitive environment and yet appreciate the best of fresh, natural, local foods & international wines in an exquisite water side setting, this may be the place you have always sought: The Bahίa de la Luna Hotel.

Nearly 40 percent of the state's population is indigenous, and the ancient languages are still heard in markets, especially in outlying villages. The Zapotecs, the most populous of the 16 native tribes in the valleys around Oaxaca city, are credited as the first people to celebrate Guelaguetza, a festival honoring Centeotl, goddess of corn. These days, Oaxaca city welcomes thousands of Indians from several tribes for traditional dancing and music during the festival, which falls on two Mondays in July. Tickets go on sale in May, and hotel rooms should be booked three or more months in advance. Oaxaca Tourist Office, Murguía 206, 011-52/951-516-0123, aoaxaca.com, $40. The city's zocalo has always been considered one of the prettiest in Mexico, so Oaxacans were understandably shocked last summer when city officials closed it without warning for a five-month renovation. Workers replaced cantera stone pavers, replanted flowerbeds, and painted cast-iron benches a shiny black. But not... See less

When I told friends I was heading to Puerto Vallarta, they all had the same amused response: "That's where the Love Boat used to go, right?" Yes, friends, Mexico's popular resort town, in the curve of Banderas Bay, was the port that Captain Stubing and crew pulled into each week. The cruise ships still come, as do floods of American and Canadian tourists, who more often than not seek a certain kind of vacation. Which is apparently why, on the ride from the airport, our cabdriver keeps pushing the foam party that night at Señor Frog's. "And over here we have the Hard Rock Cafe!" he says graciously, welcoming my husband, Tim, and me to Mexico. Surely Puerto Vallarta has much more to offer than Jell-O shot specials set to the beat of Fergie's latest single. I wasn't all that into the spring break scene even when I was in college. For this trip, I wanted to experience Mexico as a grown-up. When researching where to stay, I sought a romantic, intimate inn rather than a big resort--the kind... See less

Highlights: This popular resort town is just what the doctor ordered. The only decision is whether to unwind with a night of partying or an afternoon on an empty beach. Take seven days and call us in the morning.

Answer | SENTRI is an automated inspection program presently serving: * San Ysidro, California * Otay Mesa, California * Calexico, California * Hidalgo, Texas * Laredo, Texas * Brownsville, Texas * El Paso, Texas * Nogales Arizona SENTRI was established to expedite the Southwest Land Border movement of eligible, pre-screened, low-risk, pre-approved travelers through designated vehicle traffic lanes. This program reduces wait times that are costly to the traveler, while enhancing the security of our borders. SENTRI members are able to use dedicated lanes at the border and are not regularly subjected to normal customs and immigration questioning. This helps reduce traffic congestion and delays while maintaining high levels of security at our land border crossings. SENTRI applicants may apply online using the Global Online Enrollment System, and once the initial application is approved, you will be required to present yourself (in person) for an interview at a SENTRI Enrollment Center....

But thinking about the border waits keeps you from coming as often as you’d like. Well, now you can visit Tijuana and Baja whenever you want and never have to think about the border again. The U.S. Government has a rapid-crossing program (SENTRI) that’s been in effect at the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa border crossings for several years, and it makes crossing the border a breeze. Low-risk, pre-enrolled participants have their own dedicated border lanes and can cross in minutes---any day, any holiday. Some 30,000 American and Mexican citizens are already enjoying their SENTRI cards and the freedom it gives them to visit Mexico (or the United States) whenever they want. There’s an enrollment cost to the SENTRI program, but it’s minimal when you consider that it covers a two-year period.... See less

Reasonable air fares contribute to the good value of a vacation in Mexico. In recent months, many Southern Californians have discovered that by crossing the border to fly to their destinations from Tijuana International Airport, they save even more than if they flew from Los Angeles (LAX). You can reach the Tijuana airport by riding with either of two U.S.-based shuttle services that offer round trips from the San Diego area. you can reserve flights out of Tijuana through your travel agent or directly with the two airlines that serve the city (Aero-mexico and Mexicana). To determine whether the savings make a Tijuana departure worthwhile, check air fares, then add on your cost to reach San Diego, your taxi fare ($5 to $6) to shuttle pickup points, and the shuttle fare.

Mexican budget and low-cost airlines offer cheap discount fares on flights from Tijuana Airport (TIJ) to destinations including Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Leon. Cheap flights on Mexican budget and low cost airlines are available from Tijuana Airport (TIJ – or officially General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport) to numerous destinations in Mexico (and Tokyo, Japan!). Budget airlines usually require reservations to be made on their own websites making price comparisons more difficult. Furthermore, full-service airlines and booking agencies often offer cheaper low fares too on slow selling and inconveniently timed flights. It is sensible to use large airline reservations services first to establish price guidelines before making reservations on the budget airline site.

The Mystery of Day of the Dead Held each year between October 28th and November 2nd, Dia de los Muertos is an historic ritual celebrated primarily in Mexico, bringing together the living and the dead. Through the creation of altars, known as ofrenda, and other acts of kindness, the living offer their love and respect for those who have passed on. In The Hour of Our Death, Phillip Aries wrote, "Generally speaking, the dead are not regarded as separate from the living. They belong to the same unbroken family." Bringing communities together, Dia de los Muertos is witnessed all over Mexico. Customs vary according to region; however there are observances commonly practiced country-wide. In the most widely celebrated, and favorite of Mexican holidays, it is impossible to not experience Dia de los Muertos in some fashion while in Mexico. Elaborately decorated shop windows, families cleaning and decorating cemeteries, and temporary markets selling special bread, treats and toys seem to be... See less
