5th time we have had a JLA holiday. Expensive but worth it!

Excellent tour guide and local guides, good transport arrangements, variety of experiences (wildlife, historical sites, archaeological sites, local interest (eg coffee plantation), forest walks, boat trips.

I've used JLA several times before. They know this part of the world extremely well.

JLA tour was an exceptional experience. Our tour guide came along for the whole journey, taking all the hard work out of border crossing, where to eat, made excellent suggestions for where to go. The local guides were very knowledgeable and enormously helpful. We truly feel that we've got a flavour of Central America. It's not for the feint-hearted. But to give you an idea our group ranged from 22 years old to 80 years old. There is a great balance between organised tours, which you can join or not and free time to go adventuring on your own. You will see things that will remain with you forever. You will take photos that will remind you of your adventure!

JLA - know Central America, where to go, where to eat, what local attractions there are. They have a team of wonderful local guides, who put the icing on the cake.

We traveled through central america

Very organised, felt as thoigh they truely cared about us having an enjoyable experience

I was on a group tour with JLA for Central America. It was breathtaking from start to finish. Incredible sights, wildlife, geography, people, history and culture rolled into an astonishing three weeks. The best holiday I’ve ever had.

JLA were helpful and professional throughout but the tour leader Jess was the standout. She made the trip what it was and I can’t recommend her and JLA enough.

Visited 6 countries in 22 days - from Panama to Guatemala- incredible variety from Caribbean islands, Rain forest, Pacific beach, lakes, volcanos, colonial cities, Mayan ruins, local workshops, fascinating history - every day a different experience and a huge surprise Led by a very competent, enthusiastic, knowledgeable guide. .

Knowable, enthusiastic and accessible.

Travelling from Panama to Guatemala in a small group after 2 years of pandemic was so wonderful. The whole tour was incredible from beginning to end. Superb tour guide and excellent organisation and experiences. Highly recommended

Totally professional and supportive throughout booking process and eventual tour execution ( originally booked for 2020!). I felt supported and advised throughout.
