Save $2650 per couple off retail prices!
Just a short plane ride away lies tiny Costa Rica — an ecological wonderland. With some 13,000 species of plants, 850 species of birds, and more than 200 species of mammals, it boasts a richer natural abundance than either Europe or North America. It is also a leader in conservation, with over 26% of its territory protected by a progressive national park system. Its Central American neighbor, Guatemala, blends a modern outlook with a fascinating Maya and Spanish heritage. Encounter these two essential aspects of Central America on a single, discovery-rich itinerary — new for 2009. You’ll also mingle with the welcoming Costa Rican people and meet the modern descendants of Guatemala’s proud history.
