Guanajuato Things To Do
Guanajuato: Dusty Old Dead Folks in the Mummy Museum Dusty Old Dead Folks in the Mummy Museum by spitball
In Guanajuato there is a mummy museum, its as freakish as it sounds. Turns out that in my understanding, families must continue to pay to have their relatives interned in the graveyard, and when they can't or won't keep paying, the authorities must make room for more bodies so they began removing some. Because of the conditions with the climate and soil, it was discovered, that the corpses where perfectly mummified. There are well over 100... [read more]

AND THEY'RE OFF!!

The VT Team of Adventurers, ant1606, frankcanfly, JohnSakura, Laurel914, have been on their route of discovery and challenges for 6 full days now. If you have any spottings, be sure to give us a shout out in the Miscellaneous Forum The Caucasian Challenge. And if you get a picture of the team as it passes by, we’ll send you a special VT gift.

If you haven't read up on this wild adventure across the Caucasus Mountains, go to CaucasianChallenge. It’s an exciting and whacky race starting in Budapest, Hungary on August 30 and concluding September 15 in Yerevan, Armenia. The team representing VirtualTourist will be handing out special picture cards as they meet members, and potential members, along the way. So, if you’re anywhere in the vicinity, please cheer on our group as it crosses eleven countries on its way to the finish line. We hope the new team carries on the tradition set by the victors of the Autorickshaw Challenge of 2008 led by our own General Manager, Giampiero Ambrosi.

The Caucasian Challenge and Autorickshaw Challenge is sponsored by the same charitable organization.

Kissimmee, Florida – What do you think?

This month, we’ve got a new ad partner - the Kissimmee, Florida Convention and Visitors Bureau who is showing off some of their area travel activities on our Kissimmee Top 10 page. My brother lives in Florida, and I’ve visited a bunch of times, but I’ve never been to Kissimmee, so I’m wondering from VT’ers who know the place, what I should expect to see and do if I visit. I started a Forum post to see what you guys thought. If you’ve got some comments, I’d love to hear them. – Thanks, Giampiero

We LOVE hearing from VirtualTourist members and visitors alike. We frequently get notes just letting us know that you're out there and you're enjoying VT. Very often we'll forward the mail around to the rest of the team, to share the love. Drop us a note, we'd love to hear from you.

You can see more community news items from previous days in the community news archives Drop us a note at feedback@virtualtourist.com if you'd like your item to be considered.
