Central America Revealed

We begin in Costa Rica, in the capital city of San Jose, before heading the Caribbean coastline where we explore the national parks for Cahuita and Tortuguero. Over to the Pacific side stopping at the town of La Fortuna at the base of active Volcano Arenal, a great place to do white water rafting, trekking and soak in the local hot springs. We hike through Monteverde Cloud forest then relax with the sloths and monkeys on the beaches of Quepos and Manual Antonio National Park. Turning to the north, we travel through Nicaragua and Honduras visiting the ruins of Copan, swim in remote freshwater lakes, hike up active volcanoes, and relax on stunning isolated beaches. Then we cross into Guatemala and watch the sun set behind Lake Atitlan's volcanoes, and stroll the cobble-stone streets of colonial Antigua. Go caving, horse-riding and clamber through waterfalls at Finca Ixobel. Then visit the great Mayan city of Tikal, hidden deep in the Guatemalan jungle where howler monkeys hang out in the tree tops. Finally, we head to those white sandy beaches of the Caribbean starting with the unforgettable Afro-Caribbean island of Caye Caulker in Belize. Then to the north to Playa del Carmen in Mexico where the tour ends.
