Seems like several famous cities in LatAm & Southeast Asia have become unrecognizable due to a bunch of loser sex tourists who have no interest in discovering or embracing the culture of any of these places but just want to turn them into American college frat houses and party.
Personally I’ve loved South American soccer & reggaeton music and have studied Spanish for years which is why love traveling through Latin American. However, I’ve seen some cities like Medellin feel like I’m just in another American city due to being overrun by these cornballs and the locals in turn seem trying to cater to them for business. I’ve heard similar things about Bali, Portugal, & some parts of Thailand.
While I hope this movement dies, my question is what are some places that haven’t lost their authentic flavor and still make great nomad destinations? I recently stayed in Lima, Peru & Havana, Cuba and felt both still had beautiful authentic cultures.
