Cultural, adventurous, laid back and historic are certainly words to describe this diverse journey through a fascinating and colourful continent. Explore past civilisations at Teotihuacan, Tikal and Copan; and witness the equally extraordinary present day culture in the indigenous Indian markets of Chichicastenango and San Cristobal. El Salvador throws a whole different aspect of Central American life into the mix and with the natural beauty of this less known country makes a great addition. You will explore diverse landscapes, the jungles of Panama and Costa Rica, Belize's Barrier Reef and beaches, as well as Nicaragua's vast volcanoes. This is a rich and delicious mixture, whatever your personal taste.
