Central and South American Adventure: From Costa Rica to Colombia

No booking fees

Best price guaranteed

Phones charged and playlists queued — this 27-day journey is a full-on adventure through Central and South America that’s packed with wild nature, laid-back beach towns, and buzzing cities. Start in Costa Rica with the surfy chill of Puerto Viejo before heading into Panama’s hidden gems — think island time in Bocas del Toro, misty hikes in Boquete, and the crater village of Valle de Antón. Then go fully off-grid on the San Blas Islands, where Indigenous communities run the show and turquoise water meets white sand. After that, it’s Colombia time. Wander Cartagena’s colourful old town, trek through jungle trails to waterfalls in Minca, kick back in Santa Marta, and finish strong in Medellín with mountaintop views and a nightlife scene to match. From slow travel moments to fast-paced fun, this one’s got it all.

A very enjoyable tour with an excellent and informative tour leader who always went the extra mile to ensure things ran smoothly. Perhaps the only criticism is that it needs to be stressed in the trip notes that although crossing the Gulf of Fonseca by boat is an adventure it’s going to be rather wet.
