You know those tourism commercials where you see gorgeous beaches, unusual animals, people laughing and you think "I want to go there!" And then you realize the commercial is actually promoting the state right next to yours, which you've been to, that doesn't look anything like what the ad is portraying? Through the cinematic powers of fancy lenses, music and actors they've made up an imaginary Wisconsin or (insert your neighbor state here) that looks magical, but isn't a whole lot like the 30 seconds of awesomeness that it portrays.
One of our trip leaders from Belize put this video together recently. It's breathtaking to watch. But, you want to know my favorite part? It still doesn't even touch the incredible feeling that comes when you actually go to these villages and meet these people.
