Arrival in Managua, the capital of Nicaragua. Meeting with a guide and transferring to Granada, the most beautiful and romantic city in Nicaragua. During the colonial era, Granada became one of the richest cities in the region, which in turn attracted pirates who regularly staged attacks. Here we will stroll along the cobbled streets, visiting colonial churches and monasteries along the way, take a carriage ride through the city center, and explore the fortress of La Polvora, which offers a picturesque view of the city center from its bastions. We will observe the life of the city in the shade of the mango trees of Central Park.
Overnight at the Hotel Casa San Francisco 3*.

Meals: none
Accommodation: Hotel Casa San Francisco 3* or similar

On the way to the Masaya volcano, we will stop briefly in the capital of the country, Managua, to explore its few attractions.
Masaya Volcano National Park is an active volcano that is open and easily accessible to travelers, where you can climb to the top and, if conditions allow, look into the bubbling mouth. The park area includes two volcanoes, Masaya and Nindiri. It is best to come to the park after sunset, when the probability of seeing bubbling lava is the highest. Return to Granada.

A visit to the factory includes an excursion exploring the full production cycle of this drink, as well as tasting the best varieties of Flor de Caña rum.
After lunch we will arrive in Leon, the colonial capital of Nicaragua. Founded in 1524 at the foot of Momotombo volcano by conquistador and national hero Francisco Hernandez De Cordoba, the city was destroyed by an earthquake and volcanic eruption in the early 17th century and subsequently moved to its present location, safer in terms of the seismic features of the region. The main attraction of Leon is the Catedral de la Asuncion, the largest in Central America, where prominent citizens of Nicaragua are buried.
Overnight at La Recoleccion 3* hotel.

Meals: breakfast
Accommodation: La Recoleccion 3* hotel or similar

Day 4. November 24, 2025 (Monday). LEON VUKLAN CERRO NEGRO ESTELI

In the morning, we will have an extreme adventure and the Nicaraguan "knowhow" – volcano boarding. Not far from Leon is the youngest volcano in Central America, Cerro Negro, which first appeared in 1890. Its last eruption occurred in 1999. The descent along the halfkilometer 45degree black slope of the volcano will be one of their most vivid impressions from visiting the country. To make the descent, it is necessary to overcome a simple ascent, which takes about 1 hour.
After descending from the volcano, we will return to the hotel to change clothes and go to the town of Esteli near the NicaraguanHonduran border.

Day 5. November 25, 2025 (Tuesday). ESTELI – CIGAR FACTORY – TEGUCIGALPA (HONDURAS)

The Esteli region is one of the main tobacco growing regions in Central America. There are many cigar factories here, some of which conduct guided tours demonstrating the full production cycle. We will visit one of the oldest factories dating back over 150 years in Cuba. Today, the factory, run by the fifth generation of the family, produces more than 40 million cigars per year, including a unique type of cigars made from 100% organic tobacco.
Crossing the border with Honduras and moving to the capital. Sightseeing in Tegucigalpa, the capital and largest city of the country. Being the silver capital of Central America in colonial times, the city grew rapidly and became rich. But, unfortunately, natural disasters (earthquakes and hurricanes) and internal political problems often interfered with the peaceful course of life in Tegucigalpa, and therefore most of the city was rebuilt and lost its colonial charm.

Day 6. November 26, 2025 (Wednesday). TEGUCIGALPA – LOS TERCIOS FALLS (EL SALVADOR) – SUCHITOTO

One of the main attractions of Tegucigalpa is the Suyapa Church, a place of pilgrimage for all Hondurans, as well as many Central Americans. A huge Gothic basilica, famous for its stained glass windows and dedicated to the Virgin Mary of Suyapa, the main patroness of Honduras. Many people believe that this small wooden statuette, only about 6 cm high, works wonders, helps those in need and heals the sick.
After Tegucigalpa, we are going to the next country – El Salvador. Let's start with the amazing Los Tercios waterfall, which appeared as a result of cooling lava flows. Due to its geological origin, the waterfall is a cluster of basalt prisms of varying sizes.
Suchitoto is a small town that has preserved the atmosphere and rhythm of life of the colonial era better than others in El Salvador. It is not for nothing that, during the trip to Central America, Queen Letizia of Spain included Suchito in the list of cities whose appearance and heritage she personally monitors. Located on the shore of a lake and surrounded by greenery, Suchitoto is a city where you come for a day and stay for a month.

Transfer to the archaeological area of Hoya de Seren. As a result of the volcanic eruption, this Maya settlement was buried under a layer of ash. Thus, now there is an opportunity to find out how the ancient Maya lived, not on the basis of guesses and assumptions of scientists, but by seeing their "way of life" with their own eyes. Hoya de Ceren is called the "Pompeii of America," and it is the only site in El Salvador listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Arrival to the second largest city of El Salvador, Santa Ana, which is surrounded by a trident of volcanoes: Cerro Verde, Santa Ana and Izalco. The cool climate, colonial architecture and beautiful views attract local oligarchs here, who prefer this city to the more developed San Salvador.

Day 8. November 28, 2025 (Friday). SANTA ANA – ANTIGUA (GUATEMALA)

We will take a look at the local Catholic church, St. James Cathedral, where two religions have merged – Catholicism and The Maya religion, and walk past the local mayor's office, where the elders of the city are sitting, dressed in white striped shorts and birds embroidered below. The real flavor. All men in Santiago wear striped shorts with birds around the edge, and women wear a veil (blouse) with bird embroidery.
We are also looking for the main shrine of the Indians, the Mashimon idol, which regularly "moves" from one house of local residents to another. The family in whose house Mashimon lives does not work. Their only job is to take care of the deity.

Here you can see and buy a variety of folk art, interesting antique items, including original figurines of ancient Maya from the collections of local residents, fabrics and various textiles, traditional for the Indians of the mountainous regions of the country. We will also have the opportunity to try traditional Maya cuisine treats.

Upon arrival in Antigua, we will immediately start at the foot of the famous volcanoes Fuego and Acatenango, in the village of La Soledad (200 km, 4 hours on the way), from where we will transfer by jeeps and begin our ascent to the harsh volcano Acatenango with a height of 3976 meters.
After an hour of driving, we will leave the jeeps and walk the last hour to the base camp at an altitude of 3560 meters. Climbing to the base camp, where we are going today, does not require any mountaineering training.
Dinner at the camp and, very likely, a fire show from the nearby active volcano Fuego.
The name of the volcano Fuego ("fire" in Spanish) speaks for itself. It is one of the most active volcanoes on the planet. Fuego is known for being almost constantly active at a low level. Small emissions of gas and ash, as well as lava, occur every 1020 minutes. And, probably, we will be able to observe all this from a better position.
Larger eruptions are rare. However, over the past 3 years, they have occurred at least once a year. Such eruptions are often very destructive.
Fuego connects to Acatenango, and the complex of two volcanoes is known as La Horqueta.

Visit the majestic city of Tikal, one of the largest and most influential Mayan cities. Today we are leaving in advance to see the stunning sunrise at the highest (70 meters) of the Mayan pyramids known today – Temple No. 4. Explore the city and walk through the surrounding virgin jungle. Observing the awakening of tropical nature, including a large number of animals: howler monkeys and spider monkeys, rhinoceroses, foxes, toucans, pheasants and many others.
Tikal – in the Mayan language, “a place where the voices of spirits are heard.” All the largest temples were built as funerary ones. The Maya considered the pyramids to be analogous to the mountains on which, according to their beliefs, the spirits of the dead live. Compared to other cities of the classical period, Tikal seems huge — it is the largest settlement of preColumbian America. Tikal's population is believed to have been up to 200,000 people.
It was inhabited from 800 BC to 900 AD, only to be conquered by tropical jungles again, from the early 11th century to the early 20th century, when Tikal was discovered and restoration work began. Archaeologists have called Tikal the "New York of the Maya civilization." Tikal National Park covers 575 square kilometers and has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List as a cultural and natural heritage of mankind.
After getting to know the Mayan culture, you need to refresh yourself and go to a new country — Belize.

Today we will visit the most interesting archaeological area of Belize. Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave (ATM Cave) is an archaeological site of the Maya civilization, where skeletons, ceramics and stone products were discovered. For the Maya, this cave was an important ceremonial center, as it symbolized the entrance to Xibalba, the world of the dead. To get to the sacred cave, you need to walk along a simple path (about 45 minutes), wading and swimming through three narrow rivers. The cave consists of a number of interconnected halls, which will take about 3 hours to visit. The entire route will take about 5 – 5.5 hours.
After the cave expedition, we will go to Belize City, from where we will take a ferry to one of the most interesting Caribbean islands belonging to the territory of Belize, Key Caulker. Key Caulker Island is notable for the fact that it still retains a real Caribbean vibe: the absence of asphalt, the slow passage of time, the azure sea and snow–white sand, the beautiful tropical nature, natural food, everything that makes a stay so desirable.
