Coquimbo is a historic port city on Chile’s north-central coast, where maritime tradition and everyday life revolve around the Pacific.

Hidden in the northern region of Costa Rica, the Celeste River (Río Celeste) winds through Tenorio Volcano National Park with a color so vivid it seems unreal. The river’s striking turquoise hue is caused by a natural chemical reaction between two mineral-rich streams, Quebrada Agria and Río Buena Vista, which merge at a point known as "El Teñidero." This one-of-a-kind phenomenon creates the illusion that the water has been dyed blue, even though no pigments are present.

The Sacred Valley, located in the Andes and divided by Urubamba River, was part of the larger Inca Empire, along with Machu Picchu and the closeby town of Cusco. Tourists will see green agricultural landscapes and Spanish hamlets like Ollantaytambo and Pisac, the latter featuring a Sunday market.

Southampton is a city shaped by the sea. Located on the southern coast of England, it has been a key maritime port for centuries. In 1912, the RMS Titanic set sail from its docks, and today, the SeaCity Museum tells the story through the lives of local residents connected to the voyage. The medieval city walls, which are some of the best-preserved in England, still stand, offering a walk through time with views of old merchant houses, towers, and hidden vaults once used to store wine and wool.

Brest sits at the western edge of Brittany, facing the Atlantic and shaped by its role as a strategic naval port. Much of the city was rebuilt after World War II, giving it a modern layout that contrasts with older Breton towns, yet its history remains closely tied to the sea.
