Our Panamanian friend is proud of historic Cerro Ancón. He even knows some poetry about its lush history. Let’s listen in to learn more about el corazón del universo.

Bring a fork and knife to this video because our “pollo sudado” is almost ready. Chef Miguelito is putting the last touches on this delicious recipe that’s good enough for the whole family!

Come and enjoy the best of Colombian food with our friendly chef Miguelito. In this episode we’re learning how to cook a delicious traditional dish. Don’t be shy, pay attention, and soon your friends will be enjoying some “Pollo Sudado.”

The guys from Karamelo Santo are not only great musicians enjoying success far away from their home town—they’re also really humble and contribute to new band’s careers in Mendoza. They know how hard the path is, and they’re happy to share their experiences with the very people who recognized them first.

This video smells good! Meet Miguelito who is going to introduce us to the rich flavors of Colombian food. Run to your kitchen and get some garlic, tomatoes and onions -essential ingredients in Colombian cuisine!

We decided to get inside a kitchen on our recent trip to Mexico. What we found was a warm, friendly cook willing to share with us the secrets of her flavorful dishes.

One nice morning we found these friendly guys running around Panama while training to participate in different US marathons. One of them is the manager of a professional soccer team. These friends are great proof of how exercise keeps us in good shape and great spirits throughout our lives.

Here’s the second part of the interview with Goy of Karamelo Santo. They are among the leaders of their home country’s independent music scene (Argentina). All their records were self produced—the major labels just weren’t interested in a band which plays free shows for the unemployed and pokes fun at the international monetary fund.

Goy plays guitar and sings for Karamelo Santa, one of the best ska bands in Latin America. Argentina is the band’s homeland (they are practically from the Pampas). But the 7 boys with wild hair and wild songs do not sing around a Gaucho campfire; their sound reverberates in the world’s largest cities.

Yabla is in the historic center of Lima, the capital of Peru, on a national holiday and a saint’s day, no less. If you’re going to be stuck in a bit of traffic on a tour, Lima’s famous Plaza de Armas is a great place to be. There’s so much to see: The presidential palace, a 16th century cathedral and more. Come see for yourself.

Let’s listen to more of this love story, starring a German woman and a Peruvian man on a date with destiny!

Gonzalo is a Peruvian painter living in Germany. We had a great opportunity to visit him and talk about his life. Before learning about his work, let’s listen to the amazing tale of how he met his wife.

Carlos and Angeles like to laugh! They may make you giggle, too, with their silly jokes and colorful expressions!

Marta and her friend Marisa are going to teach us the secrets of a timeless classic of Spanish cuisine: the tortilla española or Spanish omelette. What do we need? How do we make it? Let’s listen to them carefully. It sounds yummy!

Our top reporter stops by Peru’s capital and catches a ride with Ulises, a taxi driver/tourist guide/cop with a thorough knowledge of the city and a great willingness to share it. Ulises takes us to the Rimac area of Lima. Rimac means que habla (“that could speak”) in Quechua, a telling name for this telling ride!
