Central America discovery Traveller Reviews

The whole trip from start to finish, the organising in the office from Lina to Diego (Tour Leader) and Douglas (Driver) was absolutely, seamless, professional, and a joy to spend time with. The trip - I saw lush rainforests with towering trees and hummingbirds buzzing. Ziplining through mystical cloud forests. Close encounters with many wildlife. Visited the most active volcano and the highest volcano in Costa Rica. Strolled along wild beaches. Saw brightly coloured poison dart frogs, poisonous yellow eyelash vipers, howler monkeys, toucans, macaws and sloths in the treetops, caimans and crocodiles in the rivers, lagoons and mangroves, and a wide array of flora and fauna. The ever changing microclimates, took a while to get used to! Not to forget crossing the continental divide. And we got to see the rare male and female quetzal birds in their natural habitat! Met some lovely people along the way.. Perfect trip all round.... Pura Vida

I have used JLA for the past 10 years.

JLA

Excelent trip, very good guide

Very helpful

Group tour overland through six countries in Central America over 21 days. excellent tour - very well led and organised. excellent introduction and overview of the region. Highly recommended

Longstanding specialist knowledge of the region. Excellent for holidays to Central and South America whether in group or private. Excellent local knowledge and guides

6 countries in 3 weeks ? Easy with JLA and they throw in a couple of extra border crossings to give you more than 5 sets of passport stamps !

JLA goes for depth nog breadth - sticking to Central and South America rather than offering the whole world as too many of their peers do. . Keep it up !

Wonderful itinerary, spectacular locations, knowledgeable, interesting and engaging guide and an abundance of wildlife. Well planned and well delivered.

JLA gave either in this area for many years and use locally based guides who know the area and history. We have now used them 4 times and have never been disappointed. If problems arise, they get sorted quickly and efficiently. They put back into the community by engaging local guides to lead the local tours and have fully researched them and trust them to do a good job.

We wanted to learn about Central America's pre-Columbian history and understand the countries we visited as they are today and the impact of their histories.. We were not disappointed.

Very responsive to our needs and questions and prompt in all responses. Excellent troubleshooting when required.

A 3 week tour of 6 countries across Central America. We travelled almost 3,000 kms (mainly by bus) and stayed at 12 different hotels. The quality of hotels and excursions were of a very good standard and there were plenty of restaurant options available in most places

JLA were exceptionally good both before and during the tour. Our Tour guide (Jessica) was fantastic and was always quick to respond whenever additional information or help was needed

An exceptional tour of 6 countries in Central America. A good balance of travelling, sightseeing and down-time.

2nd time using JLA. This time there were problems in Panama just before we departed the UK but, the first week of our trip was seamlessly re-arranged to suit the local situation.
