Adventure Holidays in Central America

Tours in Central America

Thick jungles, active volcanoes, hidden Maya ruins, cyan seas: our Central America holidays are an experience like no other. But where to go?

Costa Rica is a nature lover’s paradise with dense rainforests, sweeping beaches and abundant wildlife. Explore its magnificent national parks, embark on thrilling zip-line adventures or simply soak in geothermal hot springs.

Belize is an equally diverse destination, home to jungle ruins and caves regarded by the ancient Maya as entrances to the underworld. But the adventure doesn’t end there. Snorkel at the Belize Barrier Reef, the world’s second-largest barrier reef; sip locally made rum in Belize City; and spot countless wildlife in the country’s diverse habitats.

Then there’s Guatemala, a nation of extraordinary natural wonders and rich cultural heritage. Climb Pacaya Volcano, explore the jungle-wrapped Maya ruins of Tikal, meet the makers at the sprawling artisan market of Chichicastenango, and explore the colonial streets of Antigua.
