Between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, the slender isthmus of Central America is one of the most volcanically active regions on earth. Volcanoes form an important part of the geographical make up of most of the countries of the region and also have a big part to play in the treks that we run in Guatemala, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Wherever you travel in this part of the Americas, you will find fascinating people and a wealth of historical interest, from Guatemala’s Mayan archaeology to Nicaragua’s Spanish Colonial towns. As a legacy of 300 years of Spanish occupation of Central America, the region is still Spanish speaking. If you are looking for a fresh adventure, with predominantly hotel and lodge accommodation and a series of sometimes quite challenging day hikes, as well as other activities, then one of the following 2 week KE trips should be considered:  Nicaragua’s Fire Mountains; Costa Rica Adventure; Guatemala’s Magnificent Seven.
