That’s what you’ll get on your trip to Central America, no matter which country or city you visit.

We’ll show you two of the best Central America vacations – and tell you what to take with you on the ultimate getaway.

COSTA RICA

Your trip to Costa Rica could be either relaxing or adventurous – whichever suits you. The pristine, unspoiled beaches are perfect for soaking up the sun and lounging by the water. The waterfalls, thermals and springs are ideal for the adventurous traveler and picturesque, to say the least. On your Costa Rica vacation you’ll be able to:

  • Dive into the Pacific Coast’s pristine water and take in the coral reefs
  • Take in wildlife like never before in one of the most ecologically sound places in the world
  • Tour magnificent volcanoes

And that’s to name just a few. You can even cruise the coast, stopping at destinations like Tortuga Island and Playas del Coco.

PANAMA

The southernmost country in Central America is a popular port and a fantastic place to depart from the stress of everyday life. It’s only as big as South Carolina and a great tropical getaway for those who don’t want to fly for hours at a time – it’s only 2.5 hours away from Miami by plane! From mountains to beaches to city-life, Panama has it all. You can even include Panama in a cruise along the coast if you’d like.

In Panama, you can:

  • Take in the fascinating Panama Canal
  • Visit beaches that feel like they’ve been untouched by time
  • Explore the Coiba National Park
