Fantastic trip. This is part of a 4 leg adventure, this one I dud was the 2 middle legs (playa del Carmen to San Jose). Great guides (Fidelio, Tony & Manuel) right through. Its long days of travelling, but the destination and new friends made it so worth it. My 33 says flew by. Favourites were Belize (swimming with nurse sharks & rays, and doing the ATM cave trip) and Guatemala (animals, volcanoes, adrenalin). Would have liked to spend a day if 2 longer in Honduras, but I understand why due to security.

This tour exceeded my expectations in every way. I joined without any specific expectations, and it turned into a truly meaningful and memorable experience. The itinerary was well designed, offering a great balance between nature, culture, adventure, and downtime, allowing us to experience Central America in a deep and authentic way rather than just rushing from place to place. Everything was very well organized, from transportation and accommodations to daily activities and communication. Our group lead, Aurora, played a key role in making this happen. She managed logistics smoothly, communicated clearly, and handled any changes or challenges with calm professionalism. What truly set this tour apart was the atmosphere Aurora created. The experience felt inclusive, supportive, and thoughtfully paced, making it easy to connect both with the places we visited and with the group. Her warmth, knowledge, and personal approach brought the region to life and made the journey feel human and meaningful rather than transactional. I learned a lot — not just about Central America, but also about myself — and genuinely enjoyed sharing this journey with such a great group. I would absolutely recommend this tour, especially with Aurora as the group lead. It’s the kind of experience that stays with you long after it ends.

Just got home from this tour, it was amazing! Our tour guide, Berner, was the best. As a very limited Spanish speaking person, it was so so helpful to have the guide to help with airports, ordering food, understanding the cultures, tipping, etc. We went through heaps of Inca ruins including Machu Picchu. If you like hiking definitely do the single day Inca trail trek, it was one of my favourite hikes ever, and it ends at Machu Picchu. We did a hike up rainbow mountain on our free day in Peru which was well worth it, but the altitude is a big adjustment. Peru was definitely my favourite country to visit. Bolivia / La Paz was a nice, we went to the Cholitas wrestling on our free afternoon and it was wild/great. Lake Titicaca was beautiful but mostly a tourist trap. Isla de Sol was so beautiful. Paraguay felt quite dangerous, but we were only there for a night. And it was necessary to get to Iguazu. Definitely need your yellow fever international certificate (yellow booklet) to get into Paraguay. Iguazu falls on the Argentina side was so beautiful. The walk is filled with butterflies. Definitely do the boat cruise to the base, but you will be soaked so take extra clothes and shoes. The Brazilian side of the falls is packed with tourists and no where near as enjoyable as the Argentinian side. Rio was amazing, I wish I had a spare day or two here to explore a bit more. Christ the Redeemer is magnificent. It feels a bit unsafe at night time though, the day is fine. Would definitely recommend! There’s lots of travel days but so worth it. The altitude in Peru can make you feel a bit yuck but you adjust. Enjoy! And thank you!

Best tour companies for Latin America tours

Our travelers who've explored Peru consistently point to UnuRaymi as a standout choice for solo adventures - they're quick to respond and really adapt their service to each person's needs. G Adventures has built up a solid reputation with their local Chief Experience Officers who know their stuff, plus they've got the cultural elements down pat. Just keep in mind you might need to budget extra for some activities and the hotels are comfortable but basic. While Intrepid offers plenty of route options, we've heard from several customers who felt they could have handled unexpected changes better. It's worth noting that both Contiki and G Adventures got good marks in this area - their teams stepped up when plans needed adjusting. What makes these companies different comes down to how they handle the day-to-day details. UnuRaymi excels at the personal touch, especially helpful when you're trying to figure out which parts of Peru to visit and also how to get around. G Adventures balances structure with cultural experiences, though you'll want to factor in those extra activity costs. Intrepid's routes are solid but they could be more flexible when things don't go as planned. The feedback we get tends to focus on these practical aspects rather than just the destinations themselves. It's these real experiences from actual travelers that help paint the clearest picture of what you can expect from each company.

Best places to start your Latin America tour

Lima tops our list as the main jumping-off point for Latin American tours, with 16 groups starting their journey there. Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro each launch 11 tours, while Antigua and also Playa del Carmen send off 10 groups apiece. Looking at our booking data, most travelers secure their spots around 87 days before departure, but you'll want to move faster for Inca Trail tours since those permits are limited and quick to disappear in peak season. Lima works really well for first-timers - you can get used to the altitude gradually, and the local food scene (especially the ceviche) gives you a proper taste of what Latin America's all about. Our guides always recommend taking at least two days to adjust to the altitude and drinking plenty of water before tackling any serious hiking.
