We saw a sea turtle laying eggs on the beach as well as monkeys around our hotel, crocodile tour, zip lining, white water rafting, and a banana plantation process start to finish. We saw sloths, toucan, macaw, as well as a variety of other birds. Our tour guide, Martha (Marta) was unbelievable in her knowledge of the local areas, the history and traditions.

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!
