El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua
Due to the relatively small distances, several Central American countries can be combined well. Opt for these three lesser-known countries: El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua and marvel at the rugged nature and heartwarming hospitality. In El Salvador, you will travel in a few days from the well-preserved colonial town of Suchitoto near the beautiful Suchitlan Lake to the fertile mountain coffee region and to the beautiful palm coast with its fauna-rich mangroves. In Honduras you will visit the impressive Maya complex Copán and then travel on to the beautiful Pico Bonito National Park. A truly adventurous jungle experience awaits you! Via Yojoa Lake you will reach the border of "off the beaten track" Nicaragua. The cool mountains of coffee village Matagalpa, "the pearl of the north" are a natural paradise. Further on towards the colonial city of Granada, you will get more in touch with the locals and their charm, authenticity and hospitality. Finally, Ometope Island in the great Lake Nicaragua is both an extraordinary natural and cultural experience.
