  • Days 1-3

    Nicaragua: Start in Granada, Nicaragua's oldest colonial city.

    Plan to arrive early and wander the cobblestone streets before your 6 PM welcome meeting. Book your flight to Managua Airport for mid-afternoon since the drive to Granada takes about an hour and evening traffic can be heavy. On day 2, take a 4x4 up Mombacho Volcano and bring a light jacket for the cooler summit temps. The cloud forest trails get slippery in wet weather so pick shoes with good traction. Visit León next to see revolutionary street art that tells Nicaragua's story. "The murals in León are incredible - ask your guide about the historical events depicted, it really brings them to life," one traveler shared. Make the most of day 3 in León. Start at the Cathedral area before 9 AM when street vendors serve local breakfast specialties. If you're up for some adventure, try volcano sandboarding for about $45. Just remember to wear long sleeves since the volcanic sand can be rough.

    
  • Days 4-6

    El Salvador: You'll spend most of day 4 crossing borders between Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador.

    Bring small USD bills for border fees. By evening, you'll reach El Cuco. The next day takes you to San Salvador's UNESCO-listed El Rosario Church before moving on to Suchitoto. Learn to make pupusas, El Salvador's national dish, in a local workshop. The best pupuserias are near Central Plaza. Look for the spots filled with locals. Walk through Cinquera Forest with a former guerrilla fighter who shares personal stories from the civil war. The trails are moderate but the humidity is strong, so pack extra water.

    
  • Days 7-8

    Honduras: Visit the UNESCO ruins at Copán.

    Get there when they open at 8 AM to beat the heat. A recent visitor noted: "The detailed carvings at Copán are incredible, but bring an umbrella for shade - there's little tree cover at the main plaza."

    
  • Days 9-10

    Guatemala: Your trip ends in colonial Antigua.

    The cobblestone streets make wheeled luggage tricky, so pack light or use a backpack. Consider staying longer to try chocolate workshops ($30) or salsa lessons ($15/hour).

  • Day 1

    Marigot, St. Martin

    Get to Marigot on the French side of St. Martin before 7 PM. Take a quick 15-minute walk up to Fort Louis for beautiful harbor views at sunset. Get some euros while you're here since many upcoming French Caribbean stops prefer local currency.

    
  • Day 2

    Gustavia, St. Barthélemy

    A quick sail brings you to stylish St. Barts. Start at Shell Beach early before the crowds arrive at 11 AM. The walk to Colombier Beach from the harbor takes about 30 minutes on rough terrain so bring good shoes and water. Book lunch spots in advance since most restaurants fill up fast in peak season.

    
  • Day 3

    Basseterre, St. Kitts

    Start your morning in British-influenced Basseterre. Take the St. Kitts Scenic Railway tour early to avoid peak heat. See Brimstone Hill fortress in the afternoon but go before 4 PM for the best photo light. The Georgian buildings downtown look beautiful in morning sunlight.

    
  • Day 4

    Falmouth Harbour, Antigua

    Visit the UNESCO site Nelson's Dockyard first thing before cruise ships dock. Take the moderate 90-minute hike up to Shirley Heights to watch the sunset over the harbor. Remember insect repellent since mosquitos come out at dusk.

    
  • Day 5

    Îles des Saintes, Guadeloupe

    Take a tender boat to this French island group. Walk up to Fort Napoleon early in the morning. Go snorkeling at Pain de Sucre beach to spot sea turtles before noon. Stop by the local bakeries before 9 AM for fresh French pastries.

    
  • Day 6

  • Day 7

    Soufrière, St. Lucia

    The Pitons create a spectacular harbor setting. Take a morning boat tour for the best views. Visit the sulfur springs later in the day when it's less busy. A recent visitor shared: "The mud baths at the sulfur springs left my skin amazing, but bring dark swimwear - the sulfur can stain light colors."

  • Days 8-9

    Mayreau & Tobago Cays, St. Vincent & Grenadines

    These spots offer excellent snorkeling. Visit Tobago Cays Marine Park in the morning when waters are calm to see sea turtles. Try the beach BBQ on Petit Rameau. Salt Whistle Bay stays quiet if you arrive before other boats at 10 AM.

  • Day 10

    Bridgetown, Barbados

    Book flights after 11 AM to have enough time getting off the boat. If your schedule allows, take a morning tour of the Mount Gay Rum distillery before heading to the airport.

  • Days 1-2

    Salta & Cafayate, Argentina

  • Days 3-4

    San Pedro de Atacama, Chile

    Take the morning bus from Salta to San Pedro (8 hours with border crossing). The altitude increases to 7,900 feet so take your first afternoon slow. Visit Moon Valley in late afternoon when the sun creates beautiful shadows across the salt caves and rocks. A recent visitor noted: "The Salt Caves were incredible, but bring proper hiking shoes - the terrain is quite uneven and slippery."

    
  • Days 5-7

    Uyuni Salt Flats, Bolivia

    Leave San Pedro at 7 AM for the Bolivian border. You'll reach over 14,000 feet so pack coca tea and drink lots of water. Spend two days exploring colorful lagoons and lakes filled with flamingos. Visit the salt flats on day 7, ideally at sunrise if weather is good. Bring warm clothes since nights can drop below freezing. The overnight bus to La Paz leaves around 8 PM (10-12 hours).

    
  • Days 8-10

    La Paz, Bolivia

    La Paz sits at 11,975 feet so take it slow. Use day 8 to rest. Start your city tour at the Witches' Market in early morning when vendors set up. Take the cable car for city views during mid-morning before crowds arrive. When visiting Moon Valley outside the city wear good shoes since the clay formations get slippery.
