- Days 1-3
  Guatemala & Honduras
  Start in Antigua, Guatemala's colonial city. "Get to Antigua's central plaza early - by 7:30 AM you can watch locals setting up their market stalls while enjoying fresh tamales." Drive 5 hours to Copan, Honduras on Day 2. Cross the border early to avoid long lines. On Day 3, explore the Mayan ruins with a guide. The archaeological site's paths can get slippery when wet, so bring good walking shoes.
- Days 4-7
  El Salvador
  Stay in Suchitoto to experience its indigo workshops and learn to make pupusas. Visit Cafe de las Sonrisas, a unique spot where all baristas are deaf. Take an early morning drive to El Cuco's black sand beaches for surfing. If you're learning, book morning lessons when the waves are calmer. The beach is about 3 hours from Suchitoto.
- Days 8-11
  Nicaragua
  Plan for a full day of travel to León through the El Amatillo and Guasaule border crossings. You'll arrive in time to see the colonial architecture at sunset. Go sandboarding at Cerro Negro volcano in the morning before the black sand heats up. Next stop is Granada for its traditional markets and boat trips on Lake Nicaragua. Just remember the lake has freshwater sharks, so stick to guided tours.
- Days 12-16
  Costa Rica
  The route goes up to Monteverde's cloud forests. Pack layers since the temperature can change by 20°F in one day. Take the boat to La Fortuna across Lake Arenal. Add 30 minutes to your schedule for possible afternoon storms. "Book your La Fortuna waterfall visit for first thing - by 10 AM the crowds make photography nearly impossible."
- Days 17-28
  Extended Costa Rica & Panama
  From San Jose, travel to Puerto Viejo on the Caribbean coast before entering Panama's Bocas del Toro islands. Pack smart for the water taxi ride by keeping important items in a day bag. Finish in Panama City where you can visit the historic Casco Viejo area and watch ships pass through the Panama Canal.

28 Day Central America Itinerary, incl. Mexico City and Antigua
View itinerary
- Days 1-2
  Mexico City
  Start in Mexico City with a full day to explore the historic center. Book a morning arrival to avoid heavy afternoon traffic from the airport. Visit the Zócalo area early around 8am before tourist crowds fill the Metropolitan Cathedral.
- Days 3-5
  Oaxaca Region
  Take a morning bus to Puebla (2.5 hours) then continue to Oaxaca. Visit Mercado 20 de Noviembre first from 9am-1pm when the food stalls are busiest. Check out mezcal distilleries in the afternoon during peak production. "The small family-run mezcal tours are more intimate than the commercial ones - ask specifically for Mezcal Vago's tour."
- Days 6-7
  San Cristobal de las Casas
  Travel through Sumidero Canyon to reach this colonial highland town. San Cristobal sits at 7,200 feet so take time to adjust to the altitude. Visit San Juan Chamula's church in the morning when ceremonies are most active.
- Days 8-10
  Caribbean Coast
  Fly to Cancun and take the ferry to Isla Holbox. The car-free island is perfect for cycling. "The best flamingo spotting is at sunrise near Punta Mosquito - bring water shoes as it gets muddy at low tide."
- Days 11-13
  Riviera Maya
  Stay in Playa del Carmen to explore Chichen Itza and Tulum. Get to Chichen Itza at opening (8am) to beat crowds and heat. Visit Tulum ruins in late afternoon when it's cooler and less busy.
- Days 14-17
  Belize's Cayes
  Head to Belize and take a water taxi to Caye Caulker. Book morning snorkeling trips when the water is calmest. "Stay on the north side of 'the Split' for quieter beaches and better swimming access."
- Days 18-21
  Northern Guatemala
  Visit Tikal ruins and Flores island before going to Cobán's highlands. Wear good shoes for the slippery Candelaria Caves. Plan a full day for the bumpy 4x4 highland drive but enjoy incredible views.
- Days 22-24
  Lake Atitlán
  Use local boats to visit different lake villages. San Marcos offers morning yoga and swimming spots. Start the Indian Nose hike at 4am for sunrise. "Bring layers - it's surprisingly cold at the summit before dawn."
- Days 25-28
  Antigua & Acatenango
  Finish in Antigua. The Acatenango volcano trek needs preparation - build stamina and adjust to altitude first. Pick clear days for the best Fuego volcano views. "The final summit push is tough but watching Fuego erupt under stars made it unforgettable."
