Travel to Central America with Intrepid

 
Central America is home to more than 115 volcanoes
 

Central America may be pocket sized but it sure packs a punch. Filled with natural beauty, complex eco-systems and ancient cultures, there seems to be a 'wow' moment at every turn. If you can tear yourself away from the beaches (choose from the Caribbean or Pacific) you’ll find rainforests, crazy creatures, colourful villages and more volcanoes than you can poke a stick at. Climb to the top of jungle-tangled ruins, follow in the footsteps of notorious revolutionaries and explore sparkling underwater worlds. Then grab a mojito in one hand, a new local friend in the other and cha-cha-cha your way into the sunset.
