What you pack will depend on where in Central America you’re headed. As a rule of thumb, we recommend lightweight, breathable clothing for those warm tropical days, plus a few modest pieces for visiting cultural sites. Don’t forget a wide-brimmed hat, sunscreen, and insect repellent—especially if you’re exploring rainforests or coastal areas. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for city strolls and jungle treks, and if you’re planning to hit the beach or dive into the reef, pack swimwear and a quick-dry towel. And of course, bring a good camera to capture all those unforgettable moments!
Tours typically range from one week to a month or two depending on the itinerary. It all depends on how much time you have off, and how many countries you’re hoping to see on your big Central American adventure.
The best time to visit Central America depends on what you’re looking for. Generally, the dry season from December to April is ideal for sunny beach days and exploring ancient ruins without the rain. If lush green landscapes and fewer crowds appeal to you, consider traveling during the wet season from May to October—just be prepared for short, tropical showers. For wildlife enthusiasts, this is also when rainforests come alive, making it perfect for spotting exotic birds and vibrant flora.
Safety in Central America varies by destination, so it’s always best to stay informed. We recommend checking official travel advisories before you go, keeping up to date with local guidelines, and using common sense while exploring. (P.S. Don’t forget to grab some travel insurance—just in case your adventure takes an unexpected turn, you’ll be covered!).
