Latin America adventure tours usually mean Central America or South America specific, and they cover some serious ground. How about Cancun or Antigua, checking out Isla Mujeres, Playa del Carmen, Tulum beaches and ruins, Caye Caulker, Tikal, and Semuc Champey? Or the Galapagos, with Quito, San Cristóbal sea lions, Sierra Negra volcano, and Kicker Rock. The list goes on, and adventure here means variety, constantly changing landscapes, and experiences.

Costa Rica AdventureI loved the tour!! Such amazing experiences and activities joined in one trip. The Team Leader Andrea Lopez made it so enjoyable and always so helpful in any occasion.
Central America AdventureCosta Rica will forever be a cherished memory for me thanks to Gema. Gema has been absolutely amazing for this entire tour — It was my first experience of doing travel this way, and she made me feel so comfortable and welcomed from day one. No question was a silly one, and she provided activities for everyone. She’s been super engaging and active in getting everyone involved with the locals, and that’s made this experience all the more better. Without Gema, this experience would have been a disaster and I feel so honoured to have met and spent this time with her and every other girl on tour. Despite the insane sunburn, getting trapped in what can only be called a monsoon and being bitten alive, this trip will forever be cherished to me and each girl will be remembered far into the future.

A TourRadar guest noted: "The mix of hotels was perfect - from luxury lodges in the Amazon to charming guesthouses in small towns."
