Central American Journey

Central American Journey

From tropical cloud forests alive with jungle melodies and native wildlife to vast freshwater lakes and active volcanoes, this pocket of Central America is a pure, unrefined paradise. You’ll relax under palms on a dark-sand beach in El Cuco, spot colourful birds in Suchitoto, stand in the shadow of mighty Arenal Volcano and spot sloths among the canopy of Monteverde on this 17-day Central American journey. Taking in all the must visit-spots like Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, this adventure is perfect for those who like to experience a destination ‘la forma natural’ (the natural way).

Highlights

• The stars of this trip are the dramatic and varied landscapes of lush Central America. If you’re thinking active volcanoes, idyllic beaches and emerald jungles – this trip has got you covered.
• Wind your way through the otherworldly ruins of Copan in Honduras, famous for it numerous elaborate stelae.
• Nicaragua is often neglected by travellers in favour of its neighbours but their loss is your gain as you’ll have incredible Ometepe Island, which was formed by massive volcanoes, pretty much all to yourself.
• Hike, cycle or zip-line through the steamy cloud forests of Monteverde – there’s so many ways to experience the lush canopies and see unique Central American wildlife.
• Try out your Nicaragua sign language skills when you order breakfast at an atmospheric cafe housed in a historic building that is managed and staffed by members of the local deaf community.
