Hi, I've got 30 days in June- July to travel around Costa
Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala and maybe El Salvador.
Not spending too much time in Costa Rica, been there before
a couple of times, but i fly return to san Jose, and my
girlfriend wants to go to Mt. Arenal. What I want to know is
is it feasable in this time frame to travel overland through
Nicaragua to Honduras, spend a week in the Bay Islands
getting a diving certificate, get across the border into
Guatemala, get to Tikal and maybe Lake Atitlan (public
transportation) and then back to San Jose via El Salvadore
and Nicaragua again. I've been to Guatemala before but it
was 15 years ago, but my girlfriend has never been there

    You have to figure on about 10 days spent in transit. For the
    most part buses in the region don't run at night so there is
    a limit of how far you can go in a day. The rule of thumb is
    capital to capital in 1 day. I'm going the same route over 60
    days with no doubling back to San Jose. You can probably do
    it but it will be more of a marathon than a laid back
    enjoyable trip. There is always next year for what you can't
    do this year.
