    Will this 25 day tour of central America have additional dates in February or March? I'm very interested.

    • Explore!OperatorWritten October 2023

      At the moment the only 2 dates available for 2024 are 3rd April and 13 November for this trip. There may be new dates added if we get the demand but at the moment they are the only dates available. We have the Central American Highlights tour which has more dates, including Feb and March. It is not quite as long but still a fantastic tour.
