Day 1 Arrive Cancún
Arrive in Cancún at any time.
Day 2-3 Mexico
Located about an hour south of Cancún, Playa del Carmen is a small oceanside town with a big reputation on the Mayan Riviera. Spend your time snorkeling among the mangroves, parasailing, relaxing on the beach or take an optional visit to Tulúm, the marvelous beachside Mayan ruins a little further down the coast.
Day 4-7 Belize
Belize is famous for is barrier reef and laid-back Caribbean atmosphere, both of which are found on Caye Caulker, our first destination in the country. After our stay on this top snorkeling and diving spot, make your way to the Mountain Pine Ridge area to explore the region’s jungles and caves.
Day 8-16 Guatemala
Crossing the border, catch a bus to Flores—a colourful town on Lake Petén Itzá and the staging point for an excursion to the magnificent Mayan ruins of Tikal. Nestled in the jungle, Tikal is one of the most impressive Mayan ruin sites in the Americas. Continue on to Rio Dulce, the gateway to Guatemala's Caribbean Coast, before arriving in colonial Antigua.
Day 17-20 Honduras
Explore the outstanding ruins of Copán, which has temples, pyramids and intricately carved stellae (statues) that predate many European civilizations. Next stop after the ruins is Utila, one of the Bay Islands, where we can pass the time diving or snorkeling in crystalline waters or taking it easy on the island’s snow-white beaches.
Day 21-26 Nicaragua
The Nicaragua of today is an adventure traveller’s dream with incredibly friendly people, natural beauty and untouched locations. Whether it’s wandering Granada's charming colonial streets, hiking around an active volcano, witnessing the primal splendor of Ometepe Island or taking a day trip on the country’s famous lake, Nicaragua is unforgettable!
Day 27-35 Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a must-see for its breathtaking flora and fauna. Travelling from cool cloudforest to rainforests gives a full spectrum of the country's diversity. Take time to bird watch, go horseback riding, or try mountain biking. Soak up some pure mountain air before exploring the capital city of San José.
Day 36-45 Panama
After exploring the archipelago of Bocas del Toro, we visit the mountain retreat of Boquete. Next comes sleepy Santa Clara on the Pacific coast, and from here we continue south to Panama's bustling capital.
