Day one of hiking with Quetzaltrekkers saw us volcano boarding down Cerro Negro in Nicaragua hitting speeds of nearly 100kph. Just pure adrenaline.
Looking for some down time, Macca and Brianna certainly found it in El Salvador where they had the opportunity to kick back and relax for a few days.
Honduras seemed to come with a lot of travel warnings, but that didn’t stop Macca and Brianna from travelling there and seeing it for themselves.
When it comes to Central America there is a lot of bad advice out there, so here’s what it’s really like travelling around Honduras and El Salvador.
What’s the best way of travelling around Central America – the chicken bus or the tourist bus? Here are the pros and cons of each one to help plan your trip!
El Salvador is a country that’s becoming more and more popular among surfers for its beautiful beaches, long right-handed barrels and the cheap lifestyle.
With beautiful beaches and dark dense rainforests, Honduras is great for hiking. Add in a torrential rainstorm though and things can get very interesting.
Guatemala is a bit of a favourite amongst backpackers with nothing but good times to be had, as Macca and Brianna found out for themselves.
With cobble-stoned streets and brightly coloured buildings, there’s no denying the beauty of Antigua, but is it just another tourist town on the gringo trail?
Recently we were stuck in the middle of a Guatemalan protest all about the price of maize. What ensued is a story all about magic and memories.
From the smallest cluster of stones to the tallest pyramid the whole site is incredibly impressive, and taking in Tikal is a must on any trip to Guatemala.
To be honest with you, my expectations of the Blue Hole were quite low, but I loved every minute of it, mainly because it is a dive site like no other.
