< View Other Tours
Tour Overview
From the Guatemalan highlands to the cloud forests of Costa Rica (and all the surf spots in between), this 17-day trip will see you rolling through four Central American countries – all with a new group of soon-to-be friends and a knowledgeable local leader by your side. Discover tropical forests alive with jungle melodies, vast freshwater lakes and active volcanoes – this wildlife-rich pocket of Central America is ready for you to explore. Set your eyes on a volcanic crater in Cerro Verde, spot colourful birds on the facades of Granada, stand in the shadow of the mighty Arenal Volcano and search for sloths among the canopy of Monteverde Cloud Forest. This trip through Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica is perfect for those who like their adventures 'de forma natural'.
