Combine Costa Rica with Nicaragua and Panama

Why not combine two fantastic destinations into one special holiday?

A bewitching jumble of rainforest, volcanoes and beaches, Costa Rica is an adventure all of its own. Throw Nicaragua or Panama into the mix and you end up with something truly epic. Wobble through the treetops on rope bridges, wander through colonial cobbled plazas, roast coffee beans and swing in hammocks on freshwater islands. Bursting with adventure, Central America will bowl you over.

Combine Costa Rica with Panama

Climb volcanoes, trek through cloud forests, stretch out on Caribbean beaches and roast your own coffee beans. Travelling from Costa Rica into Panama, you’ll meet the locals, wobble through the jungle canopy on rope bridges and glide along rainforest rivers. Combining these two countries will give you an untamed adventure and a real glimpse into Central American life. Swing in a hammock on a tiny tropical island, learn everything there is to know about coffee beans and gasp at the scale of the Panama Canal.

Combine Costa Rica with Nicaragua

Costa Rica is a gorgeous wilderness with a surprise around every corner and a fantastic destination to begin your Latin America adventure. Afterwards hop over to Nicaragua for a nostalgic taste of colonial grandeur, wandering through the cobbled streets of Leon and soaking up the atmosphere of Granada. You’ll end your trip on Ometepe, a freshwater island floating in a bright blue lake. It’s a little slice of paradise surrounded by volcanic peaks that is sure to tug at your heartstrings.

Nicaragua and Costa Rica

Watch red hot lava glow against starry skies, hike through the jungle in search of the quetzal, wander between candy-coloured colonial plazas and get lost in sprawling coffee plantations. Nicaragua has everything from forested islands stranded in freshwater lakes to tropical beaches and hazy, faded glamour. Alone, a trip to Nicaragua is a real adventure, but add Costa Rica into the mix and you’ll end up with something truly epic. Explore Costa Rica’s mist-swirled cloudforests, watch turtles nest on castaway beaches, spot toucans on a treetop canopy tour and relax on sugary Caribbean sands with reggae drifting from every doorway. Together, these two destinations will bring you a brilliant balance of wildlife, nature and culture, making for a trip to really remember.

Jungle nights and colonial sights

Escape into the rainforest of Costa Rica, gliding along jungle rivers in a canoe and watching turtles nest on castaway beaches. Sleep in the shadow of a billowing volcano, soak in natural hot springs and gaze up at crashing waterfalls. Next, you’ll cross the border into Nicaragua for a dose of faded glamour amidst the cobbled streets and colonial plazas of Grenada and Léon. End your trip on the island of Ometepe, a patch of forested land stranded in the middle of a freshwater lake.

Meet the friendly Bribri villagers of the Caribbean coast, glide along overgrown rainforest rivers, wobble between the treetops on rope bridges and keep your eyes peeled for wildlife all the way. Afterwards, you’ll cross into Panama, which has some treasures hidden under its hat. Take time out on a tropical island and roast your own coffee beans.
