Tropical cloud forests alive with jungle melodies and native wildlife, vast freshwater lakes and active volcanoes, historic cities and shared moments with locals – this pocket of Central America is a slice of paradise. On this 16-day Central American journey, take in all the must-visit spots like Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. You’ll spot sloths among the canopy of Monteverde, see how indigo dying works in Suchitoto, explore the World Heritage-listed ruins of Copan and stand in the shadow of mighty Arenal Volcano. This adventure is perfect for those who like to experience a destination 'la forma natural' (the natural way).
