Mexico, Belize, Guatemala & Costa Rica

2 itineraries · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Costa Rica together form one of the world's most diverse travel corridors, stretching from North America through Central America to the Pacific and Caribbean coasts. The region is home to ancient Maya ruins at Chichen Itza, Tikal, and Caracol, alongside world-class barrier reef diving off Belize's Mesoamerican Reef — the second largest in the world. Costa Rica draws adventurers with its cloud forests, volcanoes, and wildlife-rich national parks, while Mexico's Yucatán peninsula offers cenotes, colonial cities, and vibrant street food culture. Travellers come here for an unmatched mix of archaeology, nature, beach life, and cultural depth.

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: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
