This vacation is designed for the adventurous, with hikes up to the Volcanoes Biosphere Reserve, boating on the magnificent crater lake Coatepeque, and surfing on the beaches of El Cocal, rated one of the top surfing beaches in the world.

Cloud forests, volcanoes, waterfall gardens and the sea: The ultimate allure of a Panama and Costa Rica vacation.

Costa Rica packs quite a punch when it comes to sheer beauty and great outdoor activities. You'll fill your days hiking, paddling, cycling and snorkeling your way around some of the most off-the-beaten-track parts of this Central America country.

Journey deep into an eco-paradise where steamy volcanic ranges and tropical rain forests filled with wildlife meet a coastline washed by white ocean surf. Travel Costa Rica's remote byways by sea kayak, river raft, and on foot.

Nicaragua is a little known destination with colonial history, architecture and tradition. There are uncrowded beaches, active volcanoes, nesting sea turtles, picturesque towns with locals happy to chat, dense jungles full of wildlife.
