About this trip
A 20-day self-guided journey linking Guatemala and Costa Rica, from Antigua through to San Jose, taking in Mayan history, volcanic scenery and Central American coastline at your own pace.
Expect a mix of ruins and highland landscapes in Guatemala giving way to rainforest, wildlife and beach time as you head south into Costa Rica. Activities like zip-lining are part of the route, alongside more relaxed stretches by the sea.
This is a private, self-guided pass rather than a fixed group tour, so you set the schedule between the two countries yourself.
