Antigua, Guatemala to San José

Take the road less travelled on this expedition through Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala. This exciting trip will appease the expectations of even the most seasoned traveller. Jungle ruins, crystal blue ocean waters and tropical rainforests await

  • Day 1: Arrive Antigua
  • Day 2: Antigua - Once the most important city in all of Central America, enjoy the beautiful architecture of this UNESCO World Heritage site. Take a mountain bike ride out into the countryside or explore the fascinating markets, shops and museums within the city.
  • Day 3-4: Copán - Walk through grassy plazas filled with intricately carved and decorated monuments, statues and staircases at the unique Mayan ruins of Copán.
  • Day 5-7: Roatan - A scuba diving haven, Roatan is famous for its marine treasures. Blue waters invite swimming, diving, snorkelling, or simply relaxing on the white sand beaches of the Bay Islands.
  • Day 8-9: León - Off to politically progressive León. This was the nation's capital from the colonial period until 1857. Many well-preserved Spanish colonial buildings and churches line the streets, along with the largest cathedral in Central America.
  • Day 10-11: Granada - Visit Masaya Volcano on our way to Granada - Nicaragua's oldest colonial city. Walk or bike the city's historic avenues to visit the impressive cathedral, the bustling market or the Convento de San Francisco, a museum complex housing festival masks and a collection of 2,000-year old statues. Optional activities include a scenic boat trip or guided kayak excursion among the 365 little islands (isletas) of Lake Nicaragua.
  • Day 12-13: Ometepe - Travel to San Jorge on the shores of Lake Nicaragua where we board our ferry for Ometepe Island. This unspoiled island paradise formed out of the lava flowing in between two volcanoes, Madera (1394m) and Concepción (1610m), is a nature lover's dream with abundant wildlife. Take a walk through its lush forest for a chance to see howler monkeys and green parrots.
  • Day 14-15: San Juan del Sur - Low-key relaxation by the sea. San Juan del Sur is set on a stunning horseshoe-shaped cove, where hiking, fishing, biking, surfing and sunset sailing are just some of the possible activities. You can also take a short boat ride to more deserted beaches such as Playa Remanso or Playa Majagual.
  • Day 16-17: Monteverde - Travel into the cool cloud forest of Monteverde for a glimpse of the lush ecosystems of Costa Rica. Take time to bird watch, go horseback riding, mountain biking or breathe in the fresh mountain air on a zipline trek over the cloud forest canopy.
  • Day 18-19: La Fortuna - La Fortuna, at the foot of Arenal Volcano, is an excellent base for exploration. A night hike around the volcano is an unforgettable adventure. Try a full day of whitewater rafting, go horseback riding, tour the Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge, or relax and soak in hot springs.
  • Day 20: San José - Return to San José in the evening and enjoy one last night out on the town.
