Walk through grassy plazas filled with intricately carved and decorated monuments, statues and staircases at the unique Mayan ruins of Copán. Please be ready for a long travel day with an early morning departure.

A scuba diving haven, Utila is a Caribbean-style island with a lively community atmosphere. Blue waters invite swimming, diving, snorkelling, or simply relaxing on the Bay Islands.

Granada's colonial charm is complemented by the surrounding active volcanoes and lakes. Take easy day trips and hikes, a cruise on the lake or explore the city's markets and museums.
Day 10-11 Ometepe
Two towering volcanoes dominate the landscape on Ometepe, an island on Lake Nicaragua which is also home to a unique fresh water lake shark. Take an optional hike or just enjoy the beach and jungle swimming holes.
Day 12-13 Monteverde, Costa Rica
Travelling into the cool cloudforest and rainforests of Monteverde gives us a glimpse of the lush ecosystems of Costa Rica. Take time to birdwatch, go horseback riding, mountain biking or soak up the mountain air on a trek over the cloudforest canopy.

We cross Lake Arenal by boat en route to La Fortuna. Located at the foot of Arenal Volcano, this is an excellent base for exploration. A night hike around the volcano is an unforgettable adventure.
