Take a trip to Ivalo on your Finland Vacation
Ivalo is a village in Lapland located on the Ivalo River. Just south of Ivalo is a very popular resort named Saariselka where visitors, on a Finland vacation, can enjoy winter sports such as downhill and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, and husky and reindeer sledding. In the summer, activities include trekking and hiking in the Saariselka fells, canoeing in Lapland's rivers, mountain biking and fishing. The Northern Lights are outstanding here.
Nearby Lake Inari is ideal for fishing and canoeing. Canoes and bikes can be rented and there are opportunities for horse riding and sleigh riding with huskies depending on the season.

The Festes Majors are summer festivals held in the villages of Andorra. Each festival is unique to the village, with its own distinct style.
The Pyrenean Mountain scenery and tax-free shopping are two of my favourite things about travelling to Andorra.
I love learning about Nicaragua's culture and experiencing its Spanish influence in some cities. I was only there for five days, but I'll never forget how delicious the food was and how welcoming and extremely polite the people were.
Nicaragua is well known for its dramatic volcanic landscapes, lakes, rainforests, and colonial cities. I love how friendly the people are and how delicious the food is! There is always something fun to do in Nicaragua!
Festival de Los Farolitos is an annual nighttime festival held every September in the town of Ataco, where the streets, houses, and plazas are illuminated with thousands of handmade lanterns (farolitos). Families craft them using colored paper, wood, calabash gourds, or jars, each with a candle inside. Although it's tied to the eve of the Virgin Mary’s birthday, it has evolved into a cultural celebration of community, light, creativity, and town pride.
