Central American Highlights (Reverse)

Sixteen days crossing five Central American countries, moving from Costa Rica's rainforests through Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador and into Guatemala. It's a route built around contrasts — cloud forest wildlife one week, Maya ruins and colonial towns the next.

You'll spend time looking for wildlife in Costa Rica, walk the ruins at Copan in Honduras, and get a real sense of daily life around Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. Volcanoes show up again and again, from the ones ringing Antigua to those dotted across the wider region.

This is a guided group trip with a packed schedule, covering a lot of ground in just over two weeks.
