Overall I loved the trip, and what was offered. Again my only complaint is the accommodations. Basic is fine but cleanliness and pride of ownership should be important. I would definitely consider another G Adventures but the accommodation will weigh heavily on that decision. I love the 18-39 age group, but with upgraded accommodation.

Great, but very fast trip with amazing people and landscapes. The only issue: accomodiation could be a bit better.

Overall, a wonderful trip! The pace is fast and the amount of things provided to do was very good. I would have liked to have spent a little more time in Guatemala and Honduras to get a feel for those countries (I can't really say that I have seen them on this trip) yet overall, it was a wonderful time with amazing people and beautiful locations.

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!

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.
