Miami Beach is not only a place of social and sunny entertainment, it's also a culture place showcasing the history and the heritage of the region. The Art Deco District in Miami Beach contains the largest concentration of 1920s and 1930s resort architecture in the world. These vibrantly coloured houses are a showpiece of fashion and trendiness. Miami is so many things. All glamorous, in every sense of the word. The city is considered a multicultural mosaic, this makes Miami one of the most unusual and interesting cities in America.

About the destination: Managua is the capital and the commercial, industrial and cultural centre of Nicaragua. The city is located at the shores of the Managua Lake. One of the best features of the city is its surroundings, lakes, mountains and volcanoes can be seen from all over the city, especially from the viewpoint of the Laguna Tiscapa.Tiscapa Lagoon is a volcanic lagoon formed in the crater of the old Tiscapa Volcano and it is one of the city most important sights. It´s located in the middle of the Old and New Managua. The old town centre, on the lakeshore, is the site of the city’s tourist attractions, including impressive colonial-style buildings, The Concha Acustica, a beautiful designed stage used for music festivals and pubic concentrations and the National Palace, an impressive neoclassical building located at the Plaza de la Revolución. Nearby, we find one of the signature landmarks of Managua, now a ruin, is the impressive Old Cathedral, built in 1929. The shell of the neoclassical edifice still stands in the heart of the Area Monumental. Across from the Old Managua Cathedral, and facing the National Palace is the Museo Nacional displaying numerous artefacts, which tell the story of Nicaragua from pre-historic times to the present day as well as a display of contemporary Nicaraguan art. The city’s main landmark, the Crowne Plaza Hotel, whose white form, reminiscent of a Maya pyramid, sails above the city. Chaotic and fascinating, Managua is a perfect base to explore the nearby lagoons, the nature reserves of Montebelli and Chocoyero-El Brujo, some fun beaches like Pochomil, and the hot springs at El Trapiche.
