Results for San Juan del Sur Backpacker
My guide to backpacking Central America is finally here! This guide is based on hundreds of hours of research, my own 4 month long trip, and some extras that I wasn't able to get to but would still highly recommend based on reviews from trusted friends! This guide serves as an essential list of the best attractions in each country and what not to miss! The route in the guide is laid out North to South, starting in Belize and ending in Panama, but it can also be used in reverse.
The guide includes information for how to get between locations; however not in great detail as the schedules and prices change frequently and let's be honest, the busses are never on time in Central America! The best way to get between places depends on your timeline and budget of your trip: if you have months to explore, take the local "chicken busses" for a more affordable and immersive experience; if you only have weeks, take the more direct shuttles; and if you're tight on time, take the more direct and upscale coaches. Whichever option you choose, the locals are always willing to help with chicken busses, and shuttle busses and coaches are very easy to book throughout Central America at your hostel, any tour operator, or online.
Where possible, I included accommodation recommendations for places that I personally stayed at and can vouch for, or know someone who did. In addition, there are links for booking hostels in each region!
I hope this guide provides some help and inspiration to backpack Central America, it's one of my absolute favourite places on Earth!

During a three month trip exploring Central America, I spent a glorious chunk in the beautiful yet incredibly underrated Nicaragua. This guide highlights all the best bits of this beautiful country's culture; its attractions, cuisine, history and people.
The itinerary covers a number of locations and therefore recommend allocating at least 10-14 days to enjoy at leisure. If you have less to work with, then obviously feel free to tailor as it suits.

Le Guatemala est un pays très vaste où la culture est très forte. En 10 jours, il est préférable de se concentrer sur une petite partie du pays. Entre Antigua, le lac Atitlan et Chichicastenango, vous serez immergé dans la culture guatémaltèque. Vous pourrez également vous détendre sur la plage et, si vous êtes entre septembre et novembre, vous pourrez même assister à l'éclosion des bébés tortues.
Entre les coutumes mayas volcaniques et les villages traditionnels, ce voyage sera très varié.
Villes coloniales, Musées, Gastronomie, Détente, Marchés locaux, Volcans, Plage.
Je considère que l'hébergement est personnel et dépend de nombreux critères, c'est pourquoi l'hébergement n'est pas mentionné dans cet itinéraire. Cependant, le transport avec des navettes est indiqué. Vous retrouverez de très bon hébergement sur Booking.
Le guide comprend :
Un itinéraire de 10 jours, jour par jour :
Antigua
Pacaya

Tenerife truly stands out for its diverse panoramic views.
From any point on the island you can reach an elevation above the clouds in less than an hour.
Visiting its viewpoints is undoubtedly the best way to experience the island's charm.
That's why I've decided to focus the guide on highlighting the 7 essential viewpoints 🤩 that should be included in any visit.
You'll discover the island one viewpoint at a time.
No matter how much time you have or what your interests are, your mission should be to make it to these viewpoints at all costs.
Don't miss any of them.
After that, you can take some time to relax on the beach or by the hotel pool...😎
The guide also includes:
📣 Essential Information: tips, towns, must-visit spots, local cuisine, top activities and more.
🍽️ 5 authentic 'guachinches' (local restaurants)
🍸 5 bars with stunning views
🍦 The best ice cream spot
🍝 4 places for international food
🍳 8 brunch spots
📍 + 100 pinned places to explore from anywhere on the island
And if you still have time and energy, you can explore the list of 17 hidden gems 💎
These are lesser-known and unique places that are worth discovering.
Many locals believe that sharing these places will only lead to them getting spoiled and lost forever...
I'd like to think that this guide will be in good hands and that visitors will take care of the islands just as well or even better than we do🙏
