Simple stays with essential amenities. Typically guesthouses, hostels or hotels rated below 3 stars — clean, no-frills, and great for value-conscious travelers.
Comfortable and reliable 3-star stays. Expect private rooms, en-suite bathrooms, and solid amenities — a great balance between comfort and cost.
GAdventures offer all you need for a convenient and safe vacation time. The sceneries during this tour are quite diverse and always breathtaking. Palenque was my highlight. I highly recommend a jungle hike in the early morning (with termites for breakfast!) and a swim in the waterfalls in the afternoon.

Overall I had the best time and this is definitely one of my favourite trips I have done. Each country was special in its own way and the people are so great. Being able to snorkel and swim with sharks was a real bucket list moment in Belize and then hiking up Acatenango in Guatemala was an experience I will never forget and truly magical considering it was also the most difficult thing I have ever done.
