IgoUgo travelers never shrink away from exotic locations, so perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that bad-press magnet Colombia is in the top-30 most viewed destinations this week. After all, behind the headlines is a country of stunning cities and countryside, from the tropics to the Andes. And you all know how to let loose and have a little fun, too, which explains the unwavering popularity of Vegas and its position in the #1 spot.
Here are the most viewed destinations of the week in each of nine world regions; we’ll be keeping an eye on some of the more surprising ones, for sure!

In addition to researching those far-flung destinations, some travelers were planning close-to-home spring breaks. IgoUgo’s most popular journals and reviews included locals’ takes on March Break in Halifax and the California Science Center, and a not-so-local’s opinion of Florida’s Bahia Honda State Park.
