What people love about Latin America Tours in September
- Central American Journey: Rainforests & Ruins
Overall this trip was fantastic! Seeing Central America was on one of my lists and this was the perfect tour to go see it. Many countries will surprise you and this was a very good introduction to them. I’ve been on a few tours with different companies but found this one to be the best with the 18-39 age group. I was 32 and 95% of everyone else happened to be 18-24 but that didn’t make a difference and they were the best group to travel with. We went from Mexico to Costa Rica and saw a lot. We only have so much time to do everything so after a month you're ‘activitied’ out’ so we all wanted an extra day at each place to relax and absorb it, but we needed to move on to see more and that’s simply part of this trip. So you have to pick and choose your activities wisely. Regarding the optional activities: They had some excellent choices and I’m happy with them but there were a few that I have to say need to be adjusted as they were overpriced for us as tourists. Must Do Activities: Mexico: Tulum Ruins, Beach Time, Cenotes (Take The local Buses for 40 pesos its very easy) Belize: Snorkelling with Turtles, Small Sharks, Rays = Amazing Guatemala: Tikal Ruins, Hot Waterfall, Kayaking were all great Honduras: Luna Jaguar in Copan is worth it (but do it locally for a better price) El Salvador: Waterfall Jumping (but do it locally for a better price) Nicaragua: 5 in 1 Tour was great! Costa Rica: Ziplining (Superman/Tarzan Swing!) was great and Baldi Hot Springs is a perfect place to go and make sure to stay until 10pm and just vibe out (but do it locally for a better price) A Few Comments: #1. Antigua: OX Volcano Overnight Hike. This is a simple 1.5 - 2 hour hike up you can do with another company for much cheaper. We did it with them overnight and were disappointed. Find a local company to take you there and pay $30 USD or so. Go there early morning or at lunch and it increases your chances of summiting. The only option for the Pacaya Volcano should be to go early in the morning or for lunch in order to get to the top. The sunset and sunrise is too risky and common sense tells me now that the weather is better during the day so you can summit. We didn't get to summit and were all very disappointed. They also don't tell you that you may not summit and later said on top at night "Well if we told you that then no one would sign up." The sleep was terrible with wild dogs fighting all night, The matts they give you are very thin and don't provide support to sleep on. I would not recommend anyone to signup with them but to go with a local company instead because its a relatively easy walk during the day to get to the top. #2. Luna Jaguar Hot Springs. I found out after signing up that the entrance fee was $12.75 USD. Many people were on a budget and because of this price decided not go. I went cause I can afford it but it was not worth this price but it was very worth going. G adventures and the CEO should mention that you can go with the local company for $7 usd/person ride and 12.75 entrance fee. We should not be treated like a group of flamingo tourists who get sent to local companies for them to make larger profits of us. I had a talk with the CEO about this and he later gave us more options and offered lower prices on 2 more activities after I mentioned things during a casual and pleasant talk. He was very aware of it and conscious of this and made adjustments later on which was nice to see. We are paying so much to fly and come here that we should be treated fairly with local prices and not be taken advantage of. So next time people can walk 1 min right from the hotel and choose a company that'll take us there for $7 usd and you can choose weather or not we buy food at the restaurant there or not. The restaurant has a nice menu and is open very late all day. They have very cheap options and we should have that choice. The local company I found goes from 1-5pm during the day. For the Gadventure price of $55 usd you get a ride/entrance/dinner and the dinner was good BUT we should be presented with the option for A) $20 usd no dinner or $55 with 4-9pm night time option with dinner for $55. This would be fair and best to simply be transparent with us. Also we are paying for a drive all the way from Antigua to Nicaragua so I wish the driver could drive us as I asked him what he was doing and he said he was sleeping. I asked the guide about this and he said the contract with the bus company is very specific. Its too bad because he had the entire day off and the drive was only and hour there and back. Alberto was our driver and I would be happy to pay him the extra $7 USD to drive us instead of another local company. #3. The Waterfall Jumping in El Salvador. With G Adventures it’s $50 but you can take a bus for $1.50 there and back or $10 per person there with a private driver with a small group (ask the hotel) and then a bus back. Then get a local guide for $5 usd there. Our CEO became conscious of budgets and organized a cheaper option which was very nice of him. G adventures should adjust this price as its just was too much for this no entrance fee trip. Its really just a bus ride there. #4. Costa Rica Baldi. This is an awesome experience and if you get 8 people or more it will be $38 from any local travel company plus $1 each for a taxi ride and it includes a 1 hour all you can eat buffet. G adventures does it for $55 USD. Other than these activities which should be adjusted and you can organize them on your own the trip is FANTASTIC! Both guides Bianca and Cappi were really great! Also the group we had was really amazing and we all had a lot of fun together. Best group I’ve been in on these types of tours around the world. I’ll be very happy to recommend this trip to my friends if they want to experience Central America.
- Volcano Trail: Waves & Local Ways
Wonderful experience with an absolute GEM of a tour Leader - Could not recommend this tour enough, John was the tour leader to rule all tour leaders. So good to be able to get to know the ins and outs of all these beautiful destinations and learn so much about these countries which I had previously only imagined via the TV or National Geographic. Travelled through Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Panama on my own but after the tour experience I would have loved to have enjoyed these destinations the same way I did on this tour. Ohhhhh and a final point, the tour makes the otherwise extremely painful border crossings SOOOOOOOO much easier!
