Trek into the rainforests of Costa Rica or Panama to spot sleepy sloths dozing in the canopy, explore ancient Maya ruins in Guatemala or Belize, or pair together the beach with historic treasures in Mexico. A tour of Central America is affordable, convenient, and endlessly rewarding.
Hotel stays, transportation, some meals and guided sightseeing are included, providing an enriching and affordably priced vacation.
Why we recommend
Though Central America is geographically part of North America, lumping it in with the U.S. and Canada overlooks its distinct charm. These nearby countries may be small in size, but they’re rich in natural beauty, deep history, and vibrant cultures. A short flight south opens the door to unforgettable landscapes and a way of life that celebrates what truly matters.
