Itinerary

Venture beyond the ordinary on the "Central American Explorer"—a 25-day odyssey stretching from Panama City to Antigua. Tailored for seasoned adventurers, this trip takes you through Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala, weaving together lush rainforests, volcanic vistas, and paradise beaches. Along the way, you’ll visit destinations like Isla De Ometepe, Bocas Del Toro, and Granada, with active exploration at the heart of the journey.

Unwind on Bocas del Toro’s idyllic Caribbean sands, snorkel crystalline waters, and witness the elusive quetzal in Costa Rica’s Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. Delve into the mysteries of the ancient Maya at UNESCO World Heritage sites in Copan, and stroll through the cobbled streets of Antigua, a city famed for its colonial charm and panoramic volcano views.

This moderate activity tour package offers more than sightseeing; it’s a comprehensive immersion into Central America’s natural and cultural diversity. With small group guidance, inclusive accommodation, transport, and meals, you can focus on discovering both celebrated highlights and hidden treasures. The trip’s unique selling point lies in its unparalleled breadth—six countries’ worth of adventure, history, and wildlife, brought together in one unforgettable journey.
