Great trip. Full on pace, would have to skip activities to slow down! A cultural and nature trip. Guatemala was my favourite country; the Mayan history and culture. The archeological site at Copan adds to the diversity of experiences on this trip. As well the more recent history of regime change in Nicaragua. The Spanish colonial architecture was highlighted at all destinations, quaint hotels. Nature’s beauty and wild life was showcased throughout. Overall, a diversity of experiences filled the two weeks!

We had the best time in Guatemala!! There were so many activities that you have done during the trip. The pro is that we don't have the worry about the transportation because there is some people who are always there to assist us. The only con would probably be having those long land trips. The hotels were decent as we only view them as a place to sleep and shower. This tour exceeded our expectations.
