Experience exotic Central America with Adventure Caravans on our guided RV Caravan to the Panama Canal. One of the most important factors of any tour going to Central America is the caravan staff. We feel that we have the best in the business. They are professionals and know their jobs. The Tailgunner team is experienced and can take care of your needs in case of a breakdown along the way.

The regions we visit are exceptionally varied, from the flat limestone shelf of the Yucatan in Mexico to the steamy jungles of El Peten in Guatemala, Costa Rica and Panama. This is an extensive trip through ALL seven Central America countries plus Mexico. Bird life from the jungles to cool pine-clad mountains is incredible. Just don’t forget to bring binoculars and cameras!

We rendezvous in Pharr, Texas and then enjoy ten adventurous days in Mexico as we travel the east coast to Veracruz and on to Belize by way of Palenque and Chetumal. We visit the friendly, laid-back, proud country of Belize on the way to Panama. You don’t want to miss this beautiful English speaking Nation.

During the first part of this adventure we see the ruins of El Tajin, Palenque, Tikal (Guatemala) and Copan (Honduras) as well as other important sites in Belize, Guatemala and Honduras. Central America has many beautiful, pristine beaches where we enjoy exciting meals, boat cruises and tours including a horse and buggy tour of Granada and our two “all inclusive days” at the Montelimar Beach Resort.

Next is Costa Rica, one of the most visited countries by today’s fun seekers. It is famous for its rain forests and is one of the world’s main producers of coffee. We do many things here including a Costa Rica Highlights Tour, a trip to the Caribbean Coast with boat cruise thru the Tortuguero National Park, tour a coffee plantation and factory plus enjoy Costa Rica’s “world famous” Rain Forest Aerial Tram.

The Panama Canal was completed in 1913 and took 75,000 men, 10 years and $400 million to build. Our Panama City stay includes three days of bus tours and two nights in a hotel. The first day includes a Panama City and area highlights tour. The second day we traverse the Panama Canal’s Miraflores and Pedro Miguel Locks by boat. The next morning we tour the Chagres River with Embera Indians who take us to their village for a native lunch and to observe their primitive culture.

“Good things come in small packages” is very fitting for El Salvador as we enjoy what the “Land of Precious Things” has to offer on our way to Guatemala. We take bus tours to Antigua, Chichicastenango, Panajachel and Lake Atitlan to see the many treasures that each has to offer. We even enjoy a night at a beautiful 1st class hotel on the lake in Panajachel, Guatemala.

Back in Mexico we travel a different route home and enjoy an excellent boat tour in Catemaco and then top it all off with our traditional Adventure Caravans’ Farewell Dinner in CD Victoria.

This trip is only 6,000 miles, which is about the same distance as Alaska. Reserve early as these two particular caravans sell out early. Remember! You will probably only do this trip once in your life, so do it right the first time. We promise this will truly be one of the most memorable caravans that you have ever been on.

Note: This is a very nice trip but is for the adventuresome only. The roads are poor in some areas and we spend many nights parked in hotel parking lots and other designated parking areas with no hookups. We have electric hookups 35 out of 77 nights so it is important that you have a generator. Hundreds of RVers have enjoyed this trip but if you expect all of the conveniences of the US, then this trip is not for you.
