About this tour
Dive into a 19-day journey through Central America, from the sea breeze of Playa del Carmen to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Antigua. On this journey through Mexico, Guatemala and Belize, you'll tune into island life in Caye Caulker, walk through the jungle around Tikal National Park, cruise Rio Dulce and learn to dance with the locals in Livingston. Hang out among the clouds in Panajachel, wander the colourful streets of Antigua under the looming volcano, then take a trip to the Guatemalan Highlands to meet locals and wander market stalls. Take a scenic boat ride on Lake Atitlan to the shamans that guard the shrine of Maximon, then end up back in Antigua and cheers to an epic adventure.We use a mix of private and public transport on this trip. Public transport is better for the environment, and you’ll get an authentic look at daily life, but keep in mind that local transport between specific locations on this trip can be pretty basic. Crossing the borders between various countries is usually straightforward, but you may need patience. Books, podcasts and car games will be your best friend., The tropical climate of Central America means conditions can be really hot and humid. It makes the beers even more refreshing but consider what time of the year you wish to travel in if you’re easily affected by the weather.
