Situated beside the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor and Lishan National Forest Park, the Huaqing Hot Springs are renowned for their mineral-rich waters, long believed to have skin-rejuvenating qualities. This historic site was favoured by one of China’s most famous beauties, Consort Yang Yuhuan, during the Tang Dynasty. Known as one of the 'Four Great Beauties' of ancient China, Yang would bathe in these very springs. Today, visitors can soak in the same restorative waters and explore the serene gardens and palatial remnants that once hosted emperors and their consorts.

Treasury of wines from Maribor and its surroundings The Old Vine House Winery is a true treasure trove of Maribor wine-growing districts, as it represents around 55 local winemakers who contribute to the collection of more than 200 different wine labels, including the Oceanus sparkling wine that matures for several months at the bottom of the Bay of Piran, earth-ripened orange Dolium wine and the like.

Santa Catalina, a small, laid-back town known for having one of the best surf breaks in Central America, is located 300 km northwest of Panama City, about one hour from Santiago. The scenery and natural environment are breathtaking. World-class fishing, snorkeling and diving opportunities are found all along the coastline and around the surrounding islands. Coiba National Park can be seen from Catalina. From 1912 to 2002, Coiba Island was used as a penal colony, and Panama’s worst criminals were sent here. Nowadays the prisoners have gone, but the prison remains, and makes for an interesting visit. Moreover, the recent declaration of Coiba as a UNESCO World Heritage site prohibits any development on the island, so the wildlife here is simply spectacular. The enormous island is home to a plethora of birds, mammals and reptiles. The surrounding marine park comprises 38 other smaller islands including Cebaco and Gobernadora and is the site of the second largest coral reef in the Eastern Pacific. Coiba’s amazing variety of underwater life makes fishing and diving here incredible. Santa Catalina is a great base for exploring the islands and coastline. The town itself is small, with few attractions, but a surprising number of foreigners have moved to Catalina to start tourist-related businesses, creating an eclectic mix of people. Restaurants offer a good variety of food including authentic Tuscan Pizza and Argentinian style meats. Needless to say, the seafood in this area is to die for.

Embrace serenity and peace of mind as you walk through this catholic church beholding the painted ceilings and beautiful stained glass windows. The cornerstone for the first church was laid over 150 years ago and the cavernous feeling you get because of the large rear grottoes is very memorable.
