Where is a good vacation destination in Latin America for a young family?
Q. I'm planning a vacation for my husband, my two-year-old son, and myself. We would like to visit a Latin American country. I can speak basic Spanish (not fluently, but I can usually get my point across). We want to go someplace relatively safe where we can talk to people and experience the culture. Of course, we love warm weather and beaches, but that's not a must. Can anyone suggest a friendly, laid back vacation destination in Latin America that's not too touristy? And maybe suggest some fun activities? Thanks!

A. Safest Destination but Touristy - Punta del Este is one of South America s premier seaside resorts, and its beautiful beaches, dazzling casinos, world-class restaurants, and upscale shops have lured tourists for almost a century. And, perhaps best of all, it s located in Uruguay, one of Latin America s First World countries; a country with one of the continent s highest standards of living, lowest levels of corruption, and best infrastructures. Anywhere else in Uruguay will not be as much as a tourist destination (except maybe some areas in Montevideo) but very beautiful and tranquil.

A. Latin dances are generally faster-paced, more sensual, and have more rhythmic expression. The latin dances are for couples, typically a man and a woman. Partners sometimes dance in a closed, tight position, and sometimes hold only one hand. Latin dancing, as Latin music, is sultry and physical. Quick paced rhythms and playful movements make the various Latin dances endlessly entertaining, sometimes even breathtaking. The Latin dances are derived from the music to which they are danced. The component of the music that most differentiates the dances is their fast or slow tempo. Salsa is most often danced in partners, but there are some types--such as the Suelta--that can be danced by a single person. Salsa dancing is usually found in a… [cont.]
