I’ve never been to Latin America, which guide should I start with?

If it’s your first time, we recommend starting with our free guide « How to Travel Smart » which covers the basics of planning a trip to the region. From there, pick the country that excites you most and grab the full guide.

How long of a trip do your guides cover?

Our country guides are designed for trips between 10 and 21 days, but they’re flexible. You can follow the full itinerary or pick specific sections depending on how much time you have.

Is it safe to travel in Central America?

Like any destination, it depends on where you go and how you prepare. Our guides include detailed safety tips for each region — areas to avoid, common scams, how to get around safely, and emergency contacts. Thousands of travelers visit Guatemala and Costa Rica every year without any issues.

Do I need to speak Spanish to travel in Guatemala or Costa Rica?

Not necessarily. Tourism infrastructure in both countries is solid and many locals in tourist areas speak English. That said, a few basic Spanish phrases go a long way — our guides include the most useful ones to help you get by.
