The stunning national parks of Costa Rica are endowed with some of the greatest diversity of flora and fauna in the world. Tortuguero on the northern Caribbean shore is the nesting ground of the rare green turtle, whilst the lush maze of deltas host a seemingly endless array of tropical birds and reptiles. Further south, dense rainforest encroaches on the pristine gold and black sand beaches of Cahuita. After time for relaxation we depart for Arenal, our base for exploring the birdwatchers paradise of Arenal National Park. In Monteverde we explore large areas of untouched forest from the amazing Sky Walk a series of suspension bridges high up in the cloud forest canopy. In the volcanic region of Rincon de la Vieja, bubbling mud pools combine with tropical dry forest and enchanting waterfalls, providing a haven for amazing wildlife.

Leaving lively Cancun behind, our first introduction to the once-great Mayan civilisation will come at Tulum, where ancient ruins stand atop a bluff facing the rising sun. This amazing setting contrasts to the larger Tikal Mayan ruins that lie deep in the heart of the steaming Guatemalan jungle. Further on is the small town of Antigua de Guatemala, once Spains capital in the Americas and spectacularly back-dropped by three perfectly shaped volcanoes. To end our holiday we visit the truly beautiful Guatemalan Highlands where we will have the opportunity to shop at the lively Chichicastenango Sunday market a fabulous mélange of sound and colour.
