    Well done. The trip crossed the Antarctic circle. We did not go as far as promised but saw many glaciers and wildlife.

    This trip could not have been better organised. I absolutely loved every single place we visited. Plenty of free time at each site, and lots of relevant information at places where that was necessary. Our guides, Erhard (Mexico) and Aquilino (Belize and Guatemala), were both wonderful. I would recommend this trip to anyone considering visiting Central America.

    It was a perfect introduction to Costa Rica. In other reviews, I noticed that some felt that there should have been more meals and excursions included in the price. I thought that the amount was fair. It allowed us time to choose excursions that were of interest to us and to eat what, when and with whom we wanted. I preferred the mix of flexibility and structure. And for everything we did, the pace was excellent as well.
