Central America

A few years ago I would have answered the question of safety in Costa Rica with a sound YES, but after my trip at the end of 2018, I felt …

We’ve spotted ‘exotic’ wildlife throughout Central America, but nothing like what we saw once we got to Costa Rica – check out our Wild Costa Rica photos!

“EEEeee! This is just like Eat Pray Love!” Jaime squealed as we pedaled away from the bike rental shop on our shiny bikes to explore the Caribbean beaches of the Costa Rican coast. What we discovered were some of the most laid-back, beautiful beaches in Central America.

The long anticipated ‘luxury’ train ride from Panama City to Colon turned out to be quite different from what we had expected. Is it worth taking the train along the Canal?

Escape the heat of Panama City for a day and visit Taboga Island where there are no cars, no rush and no noise, just the sound of the waves and a beautiful beach.

Panama City, the largest city and capital of Panama, is a vibrant city that combines modern architecture with colonial history, and offers beach getaways as well as a rainforest, not to forget the famous Canal.

Samara Beach is a hidden gem in the Nicoya Peninsula. It’s not completely overrun by tourists yet – and that’s why we say: Please don’t g to Samara Beach. We want to keep it to ourselves!

Travel can be about discovering new place and meeting new people, but one of the most exciting aspects of travel is the food! Check out these pictures of our favorite foods we found as we ate our way through Central America…

Leon quickly became our favorite place in Nicaragua. Don’t take this to mean that Leon is some sort of paradise. On the contrary, the city is far from perfect. Read on for why rolling with the punches made us want to suck up as much of the culture the city had to offer.

Please don’t go to Todos Santos, Guatemala. Life in this authentic village in the mountains is much as it has been for centuries, no hordes of tourists here. A trip to Todos Santos is about absorbing authentic village life. That’s why we ask you, please don’t go to Todos Santos (which you really should) – and if you do go, please do so quietly and keep it to yourself…
