Replete with smoking volcanoes, the atmospheric ruins of past civilisations, wildlife-filled jungle and incredible beaches, this narrow bridge of land between North and South America is a destination not to be missed!<br><br>Here are just a few of the extraordinary experiences on offer that you can only do in Central America\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Dinner in the Tikal Ruins<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"414\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/tikal_temple.jpg\" alt=\"The main plaza at the heart of Tikal in the sunshine\" class=\"wp-image-6170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/tikal_temple.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/tikal_temple-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> A Mayan temple complex in a glorious jungle setting, UNESCO-listed <a href=\"http:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/64\">Tikal<\/a> is one of South America\u2019s greatest archaeological treasures. Temples stretch 44 metres skywards from green plazas, some of which you can climb to take you above the canopy, home to plenty of talkative monkeys, whilst broad paths take you from one temple to the next through tropical trees and creeping vines. Tikal is magnificent at the best of times, but to take things an incredible step farther, it can be arranged for you to have a special dinner at a table set amongst the ruins after the park has closed for the day. The atmosphere will be indescribable, the sun setting, the forest alive with the sounds of howler monkeys and the memories unforgettable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Helicopter tour over active volcanoes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/antigua_views.jpg\" alt=\"Views of a street in Antigua looking towards the Pacaya Volcano\" class=\"wp-image-6179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/antigua_views.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/antigua_views-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn\narc of volcanoes run through Central America, some of which are active and\nothers which aren\u2019t. The beautiful town of Antigua in Guatemala just happens to\nbe surrounded by a couple of them, one of which, Fuego, is very active. Whilst\nsome of us may fancy ascend a volcano on foot, a much more spectacular and\nrevealing way to see them is from the air. Imagine a bird\u2019s eye view down into\na volcanic creator, as well as spectacular views of beautiful Antigua itself. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Diving the Great Blue Hole of Belize<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/blue_hole.jpg\" alt=\"The Great Blue Hole just off the coast of Belize from above.\" class=\"wp-image-6172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/blue_hole.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/blue_hole-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> Belize\u2019s Great Blue Hole is considered one of the world\u2019s best spots for scuba diving. It is the world\u2019s largest underwater sinkhole at 300 metres across and 125 metres deep, and is part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, second only to the Great Barrier Reef. Part of a cave system, the best way to explore the Great Blue Hole is to scuba dive in it, or snorkel over it. For divers, you can descend to around 40 metres, where you can see ancient stalactites and caves, as well as the more recent (relatively!) coral formations. It\u2019s also home to nurse and reef sharks, groupers and the occasional turtle.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Relax on your very own Caribbean cay<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/belize_cay.jpg\" alt=\"View of a small desert island in a tropical sea\" class=\"wp-image-6171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/belize_cay.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/belize_cay-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho\ndoesn\u2019t love the idea of their very own tropical island? Well let us help you\nbring that dream one step closer! The coast of Belize is dotted with beautiful cays,\nsmall sandy islands on the surface of a coral reef, some of which have a\nprivate villa available to hire. Lounge on soft golden sands, swim and snorkel\nthe crystal-clear waters and live out your shipwrecked fantasy to your hearts\u2019\ncontent.&nbsp; \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Picnic in a private hacienda<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/hacienda_mexico.jpg\" alt=\"An abandoned hacienda against a blue sky and palm trees\" class=\"wp-image-6173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/hacienda_mexico.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/hacienda_mexico-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA\npeaceful way to glimpse Mexico\u2019s rich heritage is a visit to one of the many\nbeautiful old haciendas that dot its countryside. Built by the colonial Spanish\nto rule over vast estates, over the centuries the haciendas became seats of\npower in their own right, growing more opulent and expansive as time went by.&nbsp; The Yucatan peninsula is the perfect place to\nvisit one, with options to stay in haciendas that have been converted into\nbeautiful boutique hotels or simply to dine on delicious, authentic Mexican\nfood, around a rustic table or on a picnic blanket in gorgeous\nsurroundings.&nbsp; \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Cooking class in Mexico City<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/mexico_food.jpg\" alt=\"Close up shot of fresh Mexican street food\" class=\"wp-image-6175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/mexico_food.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/mexico_food-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn\nincredibly popular food across the world, Mexico has a rich culinary history,\nand like most cuisines that are popular across the world, Indian and Chinese\nfor example, the authentic local food is usually a million times better than\nthe stuff that gets whipped up in its name! Mexico City\u2019s street food is\nUNESCO-recognised and utterly delicious, so where better to learn all the ins\nand outs of the comida tipica. The best way to learn and taste is with a\ncooking class, where you can learn about the essential Mexican ingredients,\nmaybe take a trip to a local market for fresh produce and pick up tips and\ntechniques on how to get the most authentic flavours. Many classes are hosted\nby a chef in their own kitchen! \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Hot air balloon ride over Teotihuacan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/mexico_ruins.jpg\" alt=\"Views of Teotihuacan Aztec ruins at sunrise from above.\" class=\"wp-image-6168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/mexico_ruins.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/mexico_ruins-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne\nof Mexico\u2019s best-known archaeological sites, the Aztec city of Teotihuacan is\nlocated on the outskirts of Mexico City. Spectacular from the ground, viewing\nit from the air, is another thing entirely, offering breath-taking views along\nthe Calzada de los Muertos (Avenue of the Dead) to the citadel and the towering\npyramids of the sun and moon, some of the most architecturally significant\npyramids of the pre-Colombian Americas. Drifting over the peaceful ruins as the\nsun rises over the horizon is a mesmerising experience.&nbsp; \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Mayan shaman ceremony in Guatemala<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"625\" height=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/lake_atitlan.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset over Lake Atitlan, Guatemala\" class=\"wp-image-6174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/lake_atitlan.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/lake_atitlan-300x143.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDeep\nin the Mayan heartlands, indigenous culture is still an essential part of life\nin Guatemala. On the banks of the beautiful Lake Atitlan, holy caves still see\nthe rites of age-old rituals which visitors have the honour of attending. Fire\ncleansings and protection ceremonies occur often, using ancient Mayan wisdom to\nconnect with the divine and rid ourselves of negative energies. There is no\nmore truly fascinating window into Mayan heritage.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our Latin America tailormade specialist Gemma has just returned to the UK after living and working in Central and South America for over 12 years.
