Trip Details
- Duration: 23 day(s) days
- Visited Areas: Central America
Caribbean beaches, cities of ancient civilisations, and colonial towns tucked away in the pine forests. Our trip begins in the Mexican town of Playa del Carmen and runs parallel to the turquoise coastline. We speed out to the coral cayes in Belize: you can swim with sharks and rays. In Guatemala we visit the plazas and temples of the Mayan city of Tikal. Then it?s into the jungle: go caving, horse-riding and visit waterfalls. High up in the mountains, visit the charming, colonial town of Antigua and watch the sun set behind Lake Atitlan?s volcanoes. In Honduras we explore the amazing architecture of Copan Ruins and head further south into Nicaragua where you can hike up live volcanoes and visit renowned craft markets. Also find out about life off the beaten track: chat with the friendly locals, swim in remote freshwater lakes, and relax on stunning isolated beaches.
