| Day | Destination | Description |
| Day 1 | Antigua | In the peaceful city of Antigua, shop for ceramics, jade statues and funky Guatemalan textiles. |
| Day 2 | Copan | The Mayan ruins of Copan are home to intricately carved monuments, staircases and statues dotted around grassy plazas. |
| Days 3-5 | Utila Island | The azure waters of Honduras are at their best in Roatan. Tear yourself away from the sandy beaches to swim, dive or snorkel among the offshore reefs. |
| Day 6 | Comayagua | Spend the evening in Comayagua, the old capital of colonial Honduras. |
| Days 7-9 | Granada | Cruise the lake or explore the markets and museums in this charming colonial town. In the warm evenings stroll the streets while neighbours chat to each other from their open-fronted living rooms. |
| Days 10-11 | Ometepe Island | Take an optional hike up Concepcion Volcano or enjoy the beach life and jungle swimming holes. This island, sitting slap bang in the middle of Lake Nicaragua, has it all. |
| Days 12-13 | Monteverde | Take time to go birdwatching, horse riding or mountain biking through the rainforests of Monteverde. There is the option to wander along a tree canopy walkway or simply sit back and breathe in the fresh mountain air. |
| Days 14-15 | La Fortuna | Take an unforgettable night hike around the Arenal Volcano or try a full day of whitewater rafting. Take a look at the Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge or dive into the hot springs of Tabacon Resort. |
| Days 16-17 | San Jose | People-watch in the main plaza and keep an eye out for an impromptu fair. |
