If you are going on a business trip to Nigeria, it is important to make sure that you have all of your paperwork in order before you go.

World Heritage Site of the Week: Get an El Salvador Visa To See Joya del Cerén
January 2nd, 2010
This week's featured UNESCO World Heritage Site is located in El Salvador, in the shadow of volcanoes. Thousands of years ago, Joya del Cerén was a small Mayan farming community that was ruled by the larger nearby city of San Andrés.
The volcanoes periodically caused problems for Joya del Cerén-the entire area was abandoned once in 250 AD when the nearby Ilopango volcano erupted. Eventually, though, people moved back, built houses and began to farm again.
Then, around 590 AD, the Loma Caldera volcano erupted and covered the town in ashes. Joya del Cerén is often called the "Pompeii of the Americas" because of the similarity between the fates of the two towns.
If you visit Joya del Ceren, you won't see any of the haunting plaster images of dead victims of the volcano, as you

This guide will show you what shots you need to get a visa for each country in Africa. However, please talk to your doctor before your trip in case there are vaccinations that aren't required but that you should get anyway.
