Central America Highlights

Lapped by clear turquoise sea, Central America is endowed with Mayan wonders, steamy cloud forest, astounding wildlife viewing and a mix of ancient and modern culture that cannot fail to turn your trip into a captivating and colourful holiday.

Birthplace of the Mayans and later the Aztecs, Central America is a museum without walls... Tikal in the Guatemalan jungle and Chichen Itza beautifully preserved in Mexico to name a few. And each of these perfectly preserved archaeological wonders is a quick hop away from paradise white sand beaches and azure waters.

Between the ancient culture and the tropical coast are over 300 volcanoes, highland lakes guarding pockets of village culture, colonial cities bustling with colour and dense cloud forests teaming with endemic species and hundreds of bird varieties.

Sun-worshippers will be devoted, wildlife enthusiasts will be titillated, culture seekers will feel immersed and adventure junkies will be fulfilled. Whatever you’re looking for, challenge a Latin America specialist to design your tailor-made Central America holiday.
