This backpacker paradise offers river tubing trips, the show "Friends" at every restaurant, and more banana pancake stands then you can ever hope to visit. Think you know where this is? Leave a comment below and tell us!

Tune in Friday for the answer.

This one wasn't much of a mystery to many of you. It's the very unusual Punta Cana airport in the Dominican Republic. It probably didn't help that I blogged about my trip down there. Unfortunately we were just passing through, but I can tell you that the airport looked nice.

Congratulations to Ryan, who guessed it in just 40 minutes.

Not Central America, but close. This picture was actually taken just outside of the center of Roseau, the capital of Dominica, when I was visiting the Caribbean island during Christmas 2006; a holiday season full of steel drums, reggae music and fried plantain. Much less developed for tourists, Dominica is one of the Caribbean islands that doesn't boast flocks of foreigners lounging on sandy beaches, cocktails in hand. Instead it's referred to as the Nature Island and high on the list of hikers, scuba divers and other outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers.

A downhill street on with a typical Sunday sunset in the background. Where could it be? There should be one hint in the photo if you look really closely. And here's another one: you will find no snow here in the winter.

This place is pretty difficult to get to. It is just outside a small town that is getting more and more popular with backpackers. The hiking opportunities are great. Leave your guesses in the comments, and we'll be back on Friday with the right answer!

This week's Where on Earth is Montañita, Ecuador, a small tourist-filled town on the coast of Ecuador. If you're heading to Ecuador and want to learn to surf on the cheap, this is the place to do it. Boards can be rented for about $5 a day and lessons are cheap as well. You'll find plenty of other backpackers to hook up with here (in just about every sense of that phrase) if that's what you're looking for. Be careful visiting, however, as you might never want to leave.

Congrats to all those who knew the answer, and to those who didn't, hang in there. Things'll pick up.

This is the main drag in one laid-back, backpacker-friendly town. Closed-toed shoes are considered dressy, ten-dollar lobster is on the menu everywhere, and the ocean is just a stone's throw away. Think you know where this is? Leave your guess in the comments. Come back Friday for the answer.

Where on Earth this week is the small beachside town of Isla Negra, 80km south of Valparaiso in Chile. This is one of three houses that Chilean poet and diplomat Pablo Neruda maintained in his home country. Up the road in Valpo, La Sebastiana cascades down the rugged hills of the port town, and further south in Santiago, La Chascona is a suitably bohemian and rambling abode in the arty suburb of Bellavista. And which of the three homes was reputedly Neruda's favourite? Casa de Isla Negra of course...

And you thought your backyard was overgrown? This was one of three very different houses that a globe trotting Nobel Prize-winning poet maintained in his home country. Come back on Friday for the definitive answer.
