Holidays to Central America

Central America has a vibrant culture, with warm and friendly people who are very proud of their heritage. Mexico is by far the largest country in this region, with an astonishing history. The cultural heritage from the Mayan and Aztec empires and over 300 years of Spanish colonisation are evident everywhere, with magnificent architecture to match anything in the world. It is with good reason that Mexico has 11 World Heritage cities - more than than any other country in the Americas. Mexico City is vibrant and modern, with one of the finest Archaeological Museums in the world. An early morning hot air balloon ride over the ancient pyramids outside the city is unforgettable. You can spend the rest of your time explore charming Spanish colonial cities, visiting Mayan ruins at places such as Palenque and Chichen Itza, savouring delicious Mexican food, enjoying live music and tasting tequila! The beaches of the Mayan Riviera are also fabulous for a holiday in the sun.

Costa Rica is a small country offering some of the best bird watching and rainforest wildlife in the world including sloths, monkeys and so much more. You can also view sea turtles nesting and hatching - an incredible sight. With its numerous volcanoes, it has many natural hot springs, as well as fabulous beaches for winter sunshine and numerous national parks. Panama also offers rainforest wildlife and birding, as well as indigenous communities and the engineering wonder of the Panama Canal. Guatemala lay at the heart of the ancient Mayan Empire, so has many exceptional archaeological sites such as at Tikal, as well the stunningly preserved Spanish colonial city of Antigua and beautiful Lake Atitlan. Belize has Mayan caves to explore and the spectacular Belize Barrier Reef. Two or three of these countries are often combined.
