Central America offers a special mix of eco and adventure travel with all the creature comforts necessary for an outstanding family vacation or honeymoon. Costa Rica and Belize are the most popular destinations and both are peaceful countries that welcome tourism.
In Costa Rica you’ll find rainforests, jungle, pristine beaches, exotic animals and active volcanoes. Many vacationers have too little time to see it all, but a very nice itinerary combines a few days near Arenal Volcano or the Monteverde Cloud Forest with some beach time on the Guanacaste Peninsula or near Manuel Antonio or Corcovado National Parks.
Belize is home to one of the world’s largest barrier reefs and offers active adventurers a full range of land and sea activities. The diving and deep sea fishing are world class, you can hike in the lush, dense interior, or explore nearby Mayan ruins. And, when it’s time to slow down, you can pick a lovely quiet stretch of beach and simply relax!
Jobs in tourism are highly sought, so it’s not unusual to find a botanist conducting your nature walk or marine biologist leading your snorkel trip. Area guides are proud of their country and enjoy sharing their special part of the world. So take advantage, ask questions and enjoy the experience!
Accommodations range from basic to luxurious and include traditional hotels, cabanas, lodges and villas. Guided tours are offered for those wishing a bit of structure and independent travelers can choose a self drive itinerary or include ground or air transfers in a package.
The weather is warm year round but there is definitely a “green season” so contact Linda, our Central America specialist, when it’s time to plan your trip. You can also check out our award winning travel blog for pictures and stories from our travels around the world.
