A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- San Miguelito) to Point B. In other words: 'As the crow flies'. |
| <2> | While we're fans and frequent users of TripAdvisor, you should know that we're also members of the TripAdvisor affiliate program. |
