Incubus & Deftones 2015 Tour with Special Guests Death From Above 1979 and The Bots

• The Incubus legacy: across 20 hard-rocking, genre-bending years, the band has landed four #1 hits on the Billboard Alternative charts (including “Drive” and “Love Hurts”) and six studio albums that went Gold, Platinum, and multi-Platinum
• The Deftones legacy: seven critically acclaimed albums, 10 million records sold, and a distinct type of hard rock that “thrives on conflict and chaos,” according to The New York Times
• Trust Fall (Side A): the latest EP of new music from Incubus that guitarist Mike Einziger says is “pretty indicative of where we are now. This is what the band sounds like in 2015.”

• Rolling Stone’s take on dance-punk duo Death from Above 1979: “Returning a decade later, they’re still crushing violent, angular riffs, but they’re also writing catchier songs. A throwback to a throwback that’s better the second time around.”
• Rolling Stone’s take on garage punkers, The Bots: they named the duo “Most Likely to Succeed in 2014” after their head-turning set at Coachella

Coral Springs, Florida: Planned Community Close to the Everglades 

Coral Springs is an elegant planned community about 20 miles northwest of Fort Lauderdale. Its stylish aesthetic is the result of strict building codes: nothing can be too tall or obviously out of character in this warm little city. In 2007, Coral Springs was ranked the 10th safest city in the United States, and it consistently wins accolades for its high quality of life. It’s also golf heaven—the area’s year-round sunshine and lush vegetation means you’ll be close to multiple public courses wherever you are in town.

Family-Friendly Hotel near Orlando Theme Parks

An official Walt Disney World® Hotel located across the street from the Downtown Disney® Marketplace, the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort brims with little touches of magic. On Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings, you can dig into a breakfast buffet at the onsite Lakeview Restaurant while Goofy and Pluto mingle with diners and pose for photos. At day’s end, guests return to comfortable-and-spacious guest rooms, some of which have views of the theme park.

The onsite Oasis Aquatic Playground is the perfect place to spend a sunny day, as long as you don’t mind getting soaked. When adults need some R & R, there’s a hot tub. The whole pool area overlooks a scenic lake. When you’ve had your kicks at the water park, dry off and hop aboard a shuttle to any of the Walt Disney World® Theme Parks to carry on the fun. Each park is only a short ride away.

Throughout the day, a director of fun on staff organizes children’s activities, such as poolside bingo and crafts. You can stay active at the onsite fitness center, which features tennis, basketball, and volleyball courts. In addition to the Lakeview Restaurant, the hotel has two more restaurants and two bars.

Orlando, Florida: World-Famous Theme Parks and Cultural Surprises

Located in the center of Florida, Orlando may be forever associated with the Walt Disney World® Theme Parks—the world’s most-visited entertainment resort. Spanning roughly 30,000 acres, it encompasses four theme parks, two water parks, five golf courses, and the Downtown Disney® Marketplace. There’s no shortage of things to do here: begin your day by boarding a rocket-shaped three-seater that climbs to 180 feet before entering a deep black tunnel and racing past stars, satellites, and constellations. Walk across the park to sample Moroccan cuisine for lunch, or ride a dune buggy through a haunted mansion. Before heading back to the hotel, take in the nightly fireworks, laser, and water show. One of the most popular family destinations in the world, sunny Orlando is also home to Universal Orlando Resort, SeaWorld, and Gatorland.

Those hoping to shake up the typical theme-park-dominated itinerary can head into downtown Orlando’s vibrant arts district. The neighborhood boasts venues such as CityArts Factory, a multifaceted patchwork of gallery spaces, and SAK Comedy Lab, which hosts family-friendly improv shows five nights a week.

About a 10-minute drive north, you’ll find eight cultural institutions at Loch Haven Park, including the Orlando Museum of Art, which houses work by Georgia O’Keeffe, Robert Rauschenberg, Ansel Adams, and Andy Warhol. The park is also home to the Orlando Shakespeare Theater, the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Orlando Science Center, where you can drive a rover across a simulation of Mars or race on a 70-foot pinewood derby track.

Negril, Jamaica: Laid-Back Beach Town with Picturesque Sunsets, Snorkeling, and Cliff Diving

Located on Jamaica’s western coast, Negril is known for its white sand beaches, dramatic rugged cliffs, and coral reefs lying just offshore in the Caribbean. Its underwater beauty makes the town a popular spot for scuba diving and snorkeling at Negril Marine Park, and anglers have found the sea filled with blue marlin, wahoo, and mahi-mahi. The city has a front-row seat to some of the world’s most beautiful sunsets, and people often climb to the top of waterfront cliffs just to watch. At Rick’s Cafe, which is listed in the book 1,000 Places To See Before You Die, groups congregate every night to watch the sun dip below the horizon; some brave adventurers even leap off the 35-foot cliffs into the water.

Often called “the capital of casual,” Negril is best defined by its laid-back vibe, from the slow and steady rhythm of the indigenous reggae music to its unofficial uniform—swimsuits and flip-flops. Running along the town is Seven Mile Beach, a stretch of powdery, white sand coastline that earned a spot on Frommer’s Best Beaches in the Caribbean list. The town center comprises a shopping mall and a craft market where visitors can pick up locally produced goods.

Farther inland, the mountainous terrain harbors several eco-tourism attractions including hiking, ziplining, and waterfall tours. Take a 60- to 90-minute drive east to reach the cascading YS Falls or Mayfield Falls, where you can wade in 21 natural pools shaded by exotic tropical flowers and ferns. Or stay close to Negril by visiting the Royal Palm Reserve, where 300 acres of swamp forests and wetlands shelter more than 300 types of birds, butterflies, and abandoned Rubik’s cubes.

Resort with Waterfront Cabanas on Private Caribbean Island

The Belize Barrier Reef is the second-longest reef in the world. It’s dotted with hundreds of islands, or cays, just off the coast of Belize. Eight miles from the mainland, Yok Ha Resort has one of these private Caribbean cays all to itself. The resort has exclusive access to some of the best snorkeling, fishing, and scuba diving in the world. And Dangriga, the cultural capital of Belize, is just a short boat ride away.

Yok Ha Resort comprises five brightly colored cabanas scattered along the edge of the Caribbean Sea. One is red with yellow trim, another is fuchsia, and a royal-blue unit opens onto a yellow-and-orange porch. Some have ocean views and private verandas.

There are plenty of ways to enjoy the island. You can hop into one of the complimentary kayaks or go snorkeling and explore the offshore coral reefs. The resort also offers a number of half- and full-day tours. One takes you to Belize’s famous jaguar preserve, which also has howler monkeys and pumas. Back at the resort, Chief’s Place serves complimentary meals, including three-course dinners with fresh seafood specials.

Stann Creek, Belize: Mayan Ruins, World-Renowned Scuba Diving, and Exotic Wildlife

Located along the coast on the southeastern section of Belize, the district of Stann Creek is one of Belize’s top tourist destinations. The Mayans occupied this region as early as AD 250, and its interior landscape is strewn with impressive ancient ruins set against the Maya Mountains. Today, people come to Stann Creek to see these ruins, enjoy the tropical climate, and visit the area’s eco-tourism destinations.

Opportunities for hiking, river tubing, snorkeling, and scuba diving abound in Stann Creek. The Belize Barrier Reef—the world’s second-longest reef—runs the length of the coastline. There eagle rays, octopuses, dolphins, sharks, and other fascinating creatures inhabit its cays and atolls. You can also see exotic wildlife at the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, the world’s first jaguar reserve. Located just 10 miles from the Caribbean, the sanctuary was created to keep the jaguar from extinction. Visitors can follow the well-kept trails that cut through the 160-square-mile park, home to howler monkeys, pumas, ocelots, toucans, and much more.

Visit the nearby Dangriga, the capital of the Stann Creek District, and historically home to the Garifuna people. The coastal town is still devoted to its Afro-Caribbean heritage; many residents communicate with their ancestors through dancing and drumming circles.

Gorilla Glass: A Screen’s Shining Armor

The glass on a smartphone is engineered to withstand the stresses of your day-to-day life. Read on to learn about the particular brand behind many products—Corning’s Gorilla Glass.

In order for the glass in your smartphone, tablet, or computer to incorporate a touchscreen, it has to be extremely thin. But thin glass doesn’t hold up against the wear and tear of daily use, so manufacturers of these mobile devices started using glass that’s been chemically treated to be both thin and strong. This is the basic concept behind Corning Inc.’s ultra-resilient Gorilla Glass, named after a gorilla’s inherent toughness and beauty.

As with any glass, the process of making Gorilla Glass begins by melting down a mixture of sand and other chemicals in a furnace. After that, however, automated robotic arms form the molten mixture into 0.5-mm-thick sheets, called aluminosilicate because they contain aluminum, silicon, oxygen, and sodium ions. These ultra-thin sheets can’t resist damage quite yet; to become Gorilla Glass, they have to undergo a chemical process called an ion exchange. Each sheet is dipped into a 752-degree Fahrenheit electrolyte solution, which breaks the bonds of all sodium ions and replaces them with larger potassium ions. The larger ions cause the glass to compress, packing larger atoms into the same space to give a boost of strength akin to Popeye’s biceps after a few cans of spinach.

Gorilla Glass is a relatively new product—it’s only been used in mobile devices since 2009—but Corning has been developing the concept for years. The company began experimenting with chemically strengthened glass way back in 1960. Nowadays, Corning is on its third iteration of the product, Gorilla Glass 3, which is said to be up to three times more damage resistant than Gorilla Glass 2. Gorilla Glass in all its iterations can be found in hundreds of devices, including those made by Apple, Dell, and Motorola.

G-Force: The Excitement of Acceleration

In the cockpit, both pilots and passengers experience a sensation known as g-forces. Read on to learn more about how gravity creates fun flights.

G-force: A measurement of acceleration felt as weight. Changes in velocity—speeding up, slowing down, or shifting direction—make pilots feel as if they’re being pressed down, thrown up, and tossed to the side. As a unit, 1 g is equivalent to the acceleration of gravity (about 32 f/s²). We experience 1 g constantly, as the floor pushes upward to prevent our bodies from accelerating toward the earth.

2.9 g: The typical g-force exerted by a sneeze. Another common example of g-force: someone slapping you on the back to congratulate you on a solid sneeze (4.1 g).

Microgravity: A term for the weightless environment experienced by astronauts. It’s not quite accurate to call it “zero g,” because even in space, gravity still causes astronauts to slowly accelerate towards Earth.

Vertical Force: The head-to-toe sensation of a g-force felt vertically along the body, as opposed to side to side or front to back. This is the most difficult g-force to deal with, because blood might rush to the brain, knocking it unconscious. For this reason, fighter pilots wear special anti-g suits, which have constrictive air bladders that keep blood from leaving the upper body and hitting the eject button.

The Fastest Man on Earth: Air Force physician John Stapp, according to Time magazine. In an effort to improve cockpit safety, Stapp built a rocket-powered sled to test how much g-force the human body could withstand. Despite losing dental fillings and breaking many bones, he experienced 46.2 g—far exceeding the 18 g thought to be the limit for pilots.

Cancún: Cool White Sands and Mayan Relics

Located on a barrier island shaped like the number seven, Cancún’s Hotel Zone juts into the Caribbean Sea at the northeast tip of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. With the sea on one side and freshwater lagoons on the other, it’s a popular spot for sailing and snorkeling. Although the beaches and barrier reefs are a major draw, the geography is equally enticing further inland, where you can dive into an underground river or take a speedboat through a mangrove jungle.

Cancún pulls in millions of visitors each year, so escaping the crowds and the party atmosphere isn’t always easy, but a visit to Playa Delfines offers a chance for sunbathing in relative seclusion. Resorts have yet to encroach upon this stretch of sand, and it’s especially popular with surfers.

The stone columns of El Rey Ruins, an ancient Mayan site dating back to the second and third centuries BCE, lie within the city’s Hotel Zone. Believed to be a royal burial ground, the archaeological site is also home to wild iguanas that lounge in the sun and read Tom Clancy novels. For a Mayan-themed day trip, take a 1.5-hour drive from Cancún down the coast to Tulum, a pre-Columbian walled city located on a bluff overlooking the sea—one of the Yucatán Peninsula’s most visited Mayan ruins. The Mayan city of Chichén Itzá, chosen as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007, is only a 2.5-hour drive from Cancún.

Explore Costa Rica’s Culture and Eco-Tourism

In Costa Rica, saying “pura vida”—translated to “pure life”—is a way of expressing thanks or saying “It’s going well.” The country has a lot of natural beauty to be thankful for: it has lovely beaches, tropical rainforests, and lush-green dormant volcanoes. You can get a taste of this life and the country’s ample eco-tourism on this tour, which takes you to three of Costa Rica’s most popular destinations: La Fortuna, Guanacaste, and San José, the capital city and cultural center. There’s no set itinerary, so you can explore each destination as you wish. This vacation includes:

• Round-trip international airfare
• Airline taxes & fuel surcharges
• 3 nights of standard accommodations at Hotel Magic Mountain or similar in Arenal
• 3 nights of standard accommodations at Flamingo Beach Resort & Spaor similar in Guanacaste
• 1 night standard accommodations at Best Western Irazu Hotel or similar in San Jose
• 7-day rental of an automatic compact SUV, plus free mileage
• Breakfast daily

La Fortuna

The first stop on your Costa Rica tour is La Fortuna. It sits in the shadow of Arenal Volcano, a giant stratovolcano that, until 2010, was highly active. You won’t see much lava nowadays, but Arenal’s rainforest hikes, mineral hot springs, and craggy lava fields make it well worth a visit.

• Visit a butterfly garden and keep your eyes peeled for sloths and howler monkeys while traversing the trails at Ecocentro Danaus.
• See the volcano up close, explore tropical forests, and visit the hot springs in Arenal Volcano National Park
• Hike to a waterfall: The La Catarata de la Fortuna’s crystal-clear waters drop more than 200 feet through a canyon of dark, volcanic rock. It’s too dangerous to dive, but the views alone are worth the trip.

Guanacaste

In the Guanacaste province, soft beaches give way to dry coastal forests, tropical rainforests, volcanoes, and more. You can explore the area’s stunning biodiversity at the Guanacaste and Santa Rosa National Parks, where you may spot jaguars, mountain lions, monkeys, and a variety of tropical birds.

• Fish for mahi mahi, tuna, marlin, and swordfish off the soft, sandy coast of Playa Flamingo.
• Go ziplining and mountain biking amid 1,400 acres of lush jungles, rivers, and waterfalls at Pura Aventura. Keep an eye out for iguanas and monkeys.
• See a bullfight: Here, the aim is not to harm the bull, but to dodge it, making it more like the “running of the bulls” events than traditional Spanish bullfighting.

San José

After days spent exploring Costa Rica’s eco-tourist attractions, you can discover San José’s wealth of cultural attractions. Stop by the Jade Museum to learn the history of the precious green gem, or visit the Gold Museum to see priceless gold artifacts from the pre-Colombian era. 

• Dance the night away: After dark, the city comes to life with live jazz and salsa groups playing in nightclubs until the wee hours.
• Mercado Central: Browse stalls stocked with fresh coffee beans, jewelry, and cowboy boots, or sample rich Costa Rican coffee and sweets at one of the local cafes.
• Stroll down Central Avenue, a pedestrian boulevard lined with shops and and nightlife options.

Know Before You Go

• Official language: Spanish
• Currency: Costa Rican colón  
• Drive on the right side of the road.
• Entrance requirements for US citizens: a valid passport with at least one blank page

This vacation’s all-inclusive perks include limitless eats and drinks onsite, in addition to nonmotorized watersports. Hop on the resort’s free shuttle to take a day trip to Cancún or Playa del Carmen.

Playa del Carmen, Mexico: Trendy Beach Area and Diving Destination

Just across the sea from the island of Cozumel, Playa del Carmen has been called “the hippest city in all of the Yucatán Peninsula” by Lonely Planet. The laid-back beach bars and cafés have a way of converting vacationers into expats, but Playa’s most compelling draw might be its cenotes—cavernous sinkholes filled with turquoise pools. The water in the cenotes is crystal clear, particularly at the lily-pad-dotted Xlacah cenote, where you can snorkel among schools of colorful fish.

To the south, you’ll find preserved ruins of pre-Columbian cities. Tulum’s crumbling temples are situated above a dramatic ocean bluff, and Coba’s enormous pyramid rises between two lagoons. For a fun day trip, hop aboard the ferry to Cozumel, which docks at the pier east of Calle 1. There are about a dozen dive shops on Cozumel, and they offer trips offshore to the reefs that Jacques Cousteau declared some of the world’s most beautiful.

Hotel at a Glance: Blue River Resort & Hot Springs

Blue River Resort & Hot Springs lies in a remote region of Costa Rica, at the base of the Rincón de la Vieja Volcano. Dense jungle and rolling mountains surround the resort, isolating guests from the country’s crowded tourist centers. It’s the perfect spot for embarking on any number of eco adventures, from riding horseback along the riverside to rappelling down waterfalls to visiting beaches. TripAdvisor readers included Blue River on a list of the Top 25 Hotels for Families in Central America. It’s easy to see why, given the spacious accommodations and the variety of onsite activities.

• Cabanas have hardwood floors and large flat-screen TVs. Each guest room opens onto a private terrace featuring a hammock and a view of the surrounding gardens.
• Go for a swim in the hot-springs pools—fed with mineral water heated by the volcano—or the freshwater pool, which features a kid-friendly water slide.
• Onsite botanical gardens feature 800 varieites of plants and trees inhabited by colorful toucans, bats, and iguanas. A butterfly farm houses several species of beautiful lepidoptera in various life stages.
• Choose one or two jungle activities, depending on the option purchased. Thrill seekers can take the water-tubing adventure or Blue River zipline tour, which sends participants zooming through the forest canopy before finishing with a Tarzan swing finale. For a more laid-back excursion, the blue volcanic Penjamos River and private waterfalls tour takes you through a private park in the jungle and includes a chance to soak in natural pools.

Guanacaste, Costa Rica: Forested Mountains and Legendary Surfing Beaches

The province of Guanacaste in northwestern Costa Rica takes its name from the Guanacaste tree, an umbrella-shaped species also known, less picturesquely, as the earpod tree. These trees blanket the slopes of the Guanacaste and Tilaran Mountains, helping to shelter the coastline from rainstorms and keep the beaches warm and dry.

Stick to the shore of bustling Playas del Coco and you’ll find plenty of waterfront activities as well as lively nightlife. But it’s worth heading farther afield to take in some of the province’s national parks. Starting in October, Marino las Baulas National Park serves as a major nesting ground for leatherback turtles. And in the north, Santa Rosa National Park is known for its legendary surf breaks, including one featured in the documentary The Endless Summer II.

1. What is the best way to travel to the hotel from the airport? Blue River Resort & Hot Springs offers a shuttle from from Liberia International Airport (LIR), which is about a 90-minute drive from the property.

Hotel at a Glance: La Beliza Belize Island Resort

There’s nothing like a game of giant chess in front of an infinity pool overlooking the Caribbean to make you feel like you’re on vacation. La Beliza Belize Island Resort is a high-end, intimate resort that’s thought of everything, including outdoor diversions for guests. With only 18 suites on the property, you won’t have to wait in line for hammock time or free kayak rentals. Elegance is everywhere, from the oversized suites and white beach to the pool bar and sunsets peeking from between palm trees.

• Stretch out: Each of the oversized Veranda and Lanai suites features a fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning, and a whirlpool bathtub, along with a spacious private veranda.
• Dive into the shaded, infinity-edge pool, or jump off the fishing pier into the Caribbean.
• Sip a piña colada at the poolside palapa bar and nibble jerk chicken and lobster at the open-air restaurant.
• Go snorkeling at the world’s second-largest barrier reef, located a quick kayak paddle away from the resort’s beach.

Ambergris Caye, Belize: Small Island near World’s Second-Largest Barrier Reef

Recognized by Travel + Leisure magazine as one of the World’s Best Islands, Ambergris Caye sits just off the northeastern coast of mainland Belize. By law, none of the island’s buildings can be taller than the highest coco palm, which helps create a serene, unspoiled vibe. The entire island is only about 25 miles long and 1 mile wide, but its varied ecosystems range from low sand ridges to lagoons and mangrove swamps.

Hop aboard a snorkeling tour to reach the Belize Barrier Reef, which lies about 10 minutes away. It’s part of the second-longest barrier reef in the world and was designated an UNESCO World Heritage Site for its biological diversity. The reef shelters a remarkable variety of sea life, including nearly 500 species of fish and rare, massive West Indian manatees that can reach the size of a compact car.

The town of San Pedro is situated on Ambergris’s southern end. Formerly a small fishing village, it’s now home to various boutiques, which stock artisan crafts ranging from ziricote woodcarvings to Guatemalan jewelry.

Sustainable Accommodations Surrounded by Lush Jungle

When Chris Crowell and Jeff Pzena opened Cotton Tree Lodge in 2007, they set out to create a “magical place where visitors could get in touch with the land, the people, and themselves.” Connecting with the land is easy: the resort’s sustainable, solar-powered cabanas blend almost seamlessly with the jungle, and an included jungle tour will introduce you to the world outside your room. You’ll have a chance to learn from the people of Belize during visits to local villages, or you can simply relax and enjoy the scenery from the hammock on your own private balcony.

Hailed by O, The Oprah Magazine and the New York Times for its sustainable design, Cotton Tree Lodge occupies 100 densely forested acres in southern Belize. Elevated boardwalks connect thatch-roof cabanas propped up on stilts near the banks of the Moho River. Your stay includes accommodations in a garden-vista room, where you can relax on a hammock or admire the jungle views from a private balcony.

Chefs prepare daily breakfast from freshly grown fruits and vegetables harvested from the resort’s organic garden, which is run by Sustainable Harvest International. The nonprofit group supports local farmers throughout Central America and takes Cotton Tree’s guests on daylong service projects. In the past, volunteer groups have planted organic gardens at schools and built stoves designed to conserve wood.

As part of this deal, you’ll have the option of one of three tours: one is horseback riding through the jungle to Santa Rosa Cave, a great way to see Belize’s spectacular wildlife. You can also take a tour to see Mayan ruins or learn how to make tortillas in a Mayan village.

Belize’s Toledo District: Hidden Caves and Mayan Ruins amid Unspoiled Jungles

Located on Central America’s eastern coast, just south of Mexico, Belize is covered with tropical jungles and fringed by Caribbean beaches. Cotton Tree Lodge is surrounded by the forest, but if you travel about 15 miles, you can find Punta Gorda, the capital of the district. It’s a seaport where you can choose a snorkeling or kayaking excursion led by a hired guide. You can see more of Belize’s extraordinary landscape during a scenic boat ride to or from Punta Gorda Airstrip. Travel to the country’s cayes for even more amazing views; they’re just an hour away by boat.

Another way to experience the land is by joining one of Cotton Tree’s guided tours (one is included in the package). The resort schedules up to three excursions each day to villages, Mayan ruins, caves, forests, and other destinations.
