Central America tours & holidays

Active volcanoes, spiced-up salsa and a whole lotta sun

Unless you’re dipping into the cool waters of a cenote or wandering through the hills of a cloud forest, you’ll find that Central America is hot, hot, hot. Set your sights south during the chilly northern months for a winter sun warmer or journey over the oceans to explore this life-loving isthmus at your leisure. Surround yourself in the biodiversity of Costa Rica, the history of Mexico, a little boogie in Cuba or even a coral reef in Belize’s Caye Caulker.

Central America highlights

The temple of Chichen Itza on a dark cloudy day in Mexico

Meet Maya history at Chichen Itza

If you like your Maya ruins with a touch of disco, then you’ve come to the right place. Set on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, this ancient city comes alive at sunset with a (slightly kitsch but entirely unmissable) sound and light show. The site is dominated by El Castillo, a massive pyramid with 91 steps running along each of its four sides.

Travellers whit water rafting in the middle of the jungle on the Pacuare River in Costa Rica

Go white-water rafting in Costa Rica

If you’re going to try white-water rafting anywhere, the Pacuare River in Costa Rica is the place. Set among cascading waterfalls and lush rainforests, the warm water is ideal for first-timers. During the calmer moments keep your eyes peeled for jaguars, toucans, ocelots and monkeys.

Costa Rica: Hike, Bike & Raft

A colorful street full of people in traditional clothes on a sunny day in antigua, guatemala

Explore the tumbledown ruins of Antigua

Coffee all day, salsa all night and a never-ending supply of chocolate in between. This small Guatemalan city is super chilled and an extended stay is the best way to soak it all in. While there are plenty of ruins to be found, the city is famous for its colourful convents, arches and buildings in colourful hues of blue, pink, and yellow.

Travellers walking down a street with colourful buildings in Havana, Cuba on a sunny day

Havana blast in Cuba

There’s so much to do here, it’ll leave your head spinning. Join the fun with a twirl around the dance floor in a salsa class, check out a baseball game, swing past the mansion-turned-perfume-laboratory at Habana 1791, or grab a guava pastry from one of the vendors along the Malecon. Close out the day with a cigar and a glass of good ol’ fashioned Cuba Libre.
