How about a trip to Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador
A Brief Summary
If you’ve wanted to experience a range of different cultures and countries, all with rugged, mountainous, heavily forested and volcanic scenery, with some of the largest and most impressive Mayan and Aztec ruins anywhere on Earth, then December in these 3 central American countries should definitely be on your “to do” list! Rich in history and culture, from the ancient civilisations, through the Spanish conquests to the present day, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador are certainly not your average vacation spots. Forget easy package holidays or any notion of Uber’s (other ride hailing services do exist), this is much more down-to-earth trek that will be well worth the extra effort.
