I knew very little about Costa Rica and so was pleasantly surprised. In seven days we hit all the high points, starting with a tour of San Jose, then up the Caribbean Coast to Tortuguero National Park for 2 nights, on to Arenal to see the volcano for 1 night, then to Monteverde Biological Reserve for 2 nights.
Two nights at […]
Imagine a Mayan site in the middle of the jungle three times larger than Tikal (pictured below). The Mirador Basin in northeastern Guatemala is home to the largest tract of untouched rainforest in all of Central America.

This open air market is widely known to travellers, as when I told friends I was heading to Guatemala they said to make sure my tour included them; and it did; as it’s the place to […]
