Central America Intro — 18 Day

Get ready for 18 days of big scenery, warm water, jungle air and a healthy dose of ancient history. This Mexico, Belize and Guatemala journey brings together the best of Central America: snorkelling over brilliant coral reef, wandering through Mayan sites where stone pyramids still rise out of the forest, and taking on the slopes of a volcano with an experienced group leader beside you.

You’ll move from colourful coastlines to steamy rainforest and highland landscapes, with plenty of moments that feel properly off the beaten track. One day you might be spotting marine life in clear Caribbean water, the next you’ll be standing in the shadow of centuries-old ruins or breathing in the crisp air above a volcanic trail. With a small group of adventurous travellers around you, it’s an easy way to see more, do more and make the kind of memories that stick. If Central America’s been on your radar, this is a seriously good place to start.

Know before you go: - Bring comfortable walking shoes or light hiking shoes for ruins, jungle walks and the volcano trek. - Pack swimwear, a quick-dry towel, sun protection and a dry bag for reef and coastal days. - A small daypack is handy for water, snacks, valuables and layers while you’re on the move. - You’ll be travelling through multiple countries, so keep your passport handy and check visa requirements before departure. - Check-in and departure details can vary by city and date, so confirm your final travel documents before you go.
