Santa Catalina is a small fishing village that’s become the main hub for visiting Coiba National Park and one of Panama’s best surf spots. Surfers of all levels can find a good wave there.

Semuc Champey, a remote, but very popular backpacker destination. Different levels of turquoise pools hidden in the lush jungle near Lanquin are the thing that draws travelers into the jungle.

Climbing the Acatenango Volcano is for many travelers the main reason for visiting Guatemala.

Granada might just be your first stop if you are flying into Managua. It’s a popular tourist city, but you can see all the sights in about a day. It’s colonial heritage, colorful streets and year round warm weather make it a worthwhile stop, but I preferred other places in Nicaragua. I didn’t feel as […]
