*chuckles* Getting here was something! Originally we were supposed to get a direct bus from Granada to Monteverde but we were randomly dumped on the highway to San Jose after travelling 6 hours at 11am. Headed to this petrol station assuming that Monteverde was only a taxi ride away but turns out that we were 30km/an hour away along a bumpy road and to expect the next bus to come at 2pm. For the first time, hitchhiked to the smallest village ever that isn't even ...

Tikal known as the best Mayan ruins in Central America with temples towering out of the green canopy was slightly overrated. We missed the sunrise and walked around in a big group of people, far too touristy that we hung back letting others go ahead so that we could have our own personal experience.Headed to Lanquin, about 8 hours away. Booked ourselves into Zephyr Lodge, this amazing hide-away eco-lodge with the best looking views of Lanquin but moved ourselves ...

The backpacker hub merged with the locals makes it easy to meet or bump into people, especially from the night before *snickers*. No vehicl...

Didn't spend too long here as had to keep moving to be in San Jose, Costa Rica to catch our flight home. Visited Granada, another pretty colonial town. In many ways, Granada in western Nicaragua resembles its historic sister city, Antigua, Guatemala. Both boast exquisite examples of Spanish colonial architecture, and sit beside towering blue volcanoes. Buildings here are better preserved compared to other colonial towns I've seen. The charming town was walking di...

We headed to Copan supposedly to see the Copan Ruinas but after Tikal, we felt it was enough since we aren´t into ruins and seeing one was enough. In Hondura, just off the Caribbean coast, it´s all about the Bay Islands... After much deliberation for like over a week about whether to go to the islands as it takes a day and half to get there, we finally made up our minds to unwind here for a couple of days - best decision made! Roatan was gorgeous but expensive ...
