Excellent
Amazing trip! Was able to see so much in quite a short period of time. Face paced travel but was a good amount of time at each location. Our CEO Adrian Ramirez was an absolute legend, super insightful and made sure every leg of the trip ran smoothly. 10/10

This trip is an ideal way to experience Central America, which has a mix of fast-paced immersive activities as well as quieter spots to chill out. The amount of travel is just right considering the distance and number of countries covered, but do expect potentially long waits at border crossings. The optional activities are definitely worth doing, and the homestay was a nice highlight. Prepare for not-so-warm showers! If you decide to climb the volcano at the homestay, prepare for a difficult 10 hour hike. Our guide, Ana, was brilliant from beginning to end - she was particularly good at communicating and giving updates as well as making sure everybody felt comfortable and happy. She was also excellent at constantly providing recommendations on places to eat and drink and we always felt she was part of the group, not just the guide. Overall, I would highly, highly recommend this tour to anybody.
