A really comprehensive taster of all that Central America has to offer - distances between attractions are short but the variety is amazing. From the jungles of Panama through the misty mountains of Guatemala to the balmy Caribbean beaches of Belize, you'll be enthralled by the contrasting cultures living side by side and the frinedliness of the people.
