Travel in Central America conjures up images of white beaches, idyllic islands and ancient ruins. As any local will tell you, that’s just the beginning.
While Mexico is one of the world’s most visited countries, the wonders of Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama are only just being uncovered by the outside world.
For travellers, the region’s compact size means it’s a great region for exploring multiple countries in one trip. As local experts, our on-the-ground team can design you your own multi-country itinerary that takes in one or two Central American gems, or even all of them on a grand overland journey.
Experiences may include snorkelling in Belize’s Blue Hole, rafting down Costa Rica’s Pacuare River, exploring the colonial architecture of Granada or eating a feast of tacos in Oaxaca, Mexico.
For something a little different your travellers may choose to spend time relaxing on an island off the coast of Panama, spotting sloths in Costa Rica’s Cahulta National Park or cycling through rainforests and past volcanoes in Nicaragua.
As with all trips run by our global business we have a team on the ground using their expert local knowledge to design and deliver the itineraries under your brand. They also place an emphasis on partnering with local businesses and suppliers, to create a sustainable style of travel filled with authentic experiences for your travellers.
Your clients will get to know the villagers at the Juanilama agricultural community on an overnight homestay. They’ll be guests of the locals and get a rare insight into daily life. There will be opportunities to help with farm chores, learn some local cooking or just chat with new friends.
As part of the Day of the Dead festivities, your clients will be able to see locals building altars and lamps. With luck they’ll be invited to make their own. That evening they’ll take part in the ceremonies in the cemetery, joining locals to light lamps, dance and tequila.
The cave of Actun Tunichil Muknal is a living museum of Mayan relics for your travellers to explore. They’ll wade through water until they reach the Mayan ceremonial site where they’ll find ceramic pots and crystallised skeletons, preserved by the natural processes of the cave for over 1,400 years.
