School Tours to Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean

lush rainforests, high mountains and fascinating cultures



During a school tour to Central America students can immerse themselves in diverse cultures, histories, and environments that differ greatly from their own. By exploring countries such as Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama, as well as neighbouring Mexico, and the Caribbean, students can gain a broader global perspective. On a central american tour the experience will teach them valuable skills both academically and personally, as they navigate new settings and engage with local communities.

During their visit, students can explore a variety of fascinating sites and activities. They might hike through lush rainforests in Costa Rica, observing exotic wildlife and learning about conservation efforts. In Guatemala, they could visit ancient Mayan ruins like Tikal, gaining insight into early civilizations and archaeological history. Students might also participate in community service projects or cultural workshops, such as traditional cooking classes or dance lessons. These experiences not only enrich their education but also inspire a sense of global citizenship and environmental responsibility, making the trip both educational and memorable.

Before Columbus and the Europeans arrived, the people of this area were the Aztecs and the Mayans, and the ruins of their cities and temples, often deep within the jungle, are one of the major attractions for school group tours. A combination of high volcanic mountains, earthquakes, impenetrable cloud forests and jungles, and a varied tropical climate, make this one of the most bio-diverse regions in the world.

The school tours below include marine conservation tours to Mexico, trekking in the stunning National Parks of Costa Rica, and unrivalled sporting opportunities for school sports teams in the Caribbean.
