With lush rainforests, turquoise oceans, volcano-surrounding lakes, ancient Mayan ruins and colourful colonial cities, Central America is a continent unlike any other.

It’s one giant outdoor playground and a place for endless adventures. From scuba-diving the world’s second-largest barrier reef, trekking through cloud forests and hiking up volcanoes, to white-water rafting, sandboarding and world-renowned surfing. 

Step back in time and explore the ruins left behind by ancient Mayan civilisations that sprawled from Mexico to Honduras. From the most popular and one of the largest sacred sites, Chichen Itza, in Mexico, to the most impressive and jam-packed with an abundance of wildlife, Tikal, situated deep in the Guatemalan jungle.

Central America has an incredibly rich culture. Across the region, the Spanish have left their mark in the vibrant-coloured buildings and bustling plazas. Mexico is an explosion of colour around Day of the Dead where, rather than mourning and being sad about lost loved ones, it’s a cause for celebration, praying and remembrance. Guatemala is the regions’ indigenous heartland with 21 Mayan languages still spoken.
