    The most incredible must-visit islands in South America

    Popoyo, Nicaragua: The stunning surfing retreat with a laidback beat

    Popoyo, Nicaragua, is less of a surf town and more of a stretch of houses and hostels along the beach. Behind the singular row of beach houses along Playa Popoyo and a smattering of roads north, there’s not much except…

    Arraial do Cabo; Brazil’s answer to the Caribbean?
