1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Central America is a narrow land bridge connecting North and South America, made up of seven countries stretching from Mexico's southern border to Colombia. Guatemala draws travellers with its Maya ruins, colonial Antigua, and volcanic highlands; Honduras is home to the world-class diving reefs of the Bay Islands and the ancient city of Copán; Costa Rica is renowned for its extraordinary biodiversity, cloud forests, and adventure activities like zip-lining and surfing; while Panama offers a unique blend of modern Panama City, the engineering marvel of the Panama Canal, and pristine Caribbean archipelagos like Bocas del Toro. The region is a favourite for backpackers and independent travellers seeking culture, nature, and adventure in a compact and varied geography.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Central America (Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
