Adventure travel news - Central-America
Latest news
British travellers looking to go on long-haul trips are finding adventure holidays increasingly popular at the moment, ABTA has suggested.
Kuoni recently revealed that the top long-haul destinations for 2010 include Thailand, Sri Lanka, Egypt, China, Malaysia and Singapore.
And Frances Tuke, spokesperson for ABTA, commented that a possible reason for such locations becoming more appealing to explorers is because they offer personal fulfilment and more than just a beach holiday.
"We have become more adventurous, essentially," she said.
Travellers looking for inspiration on possible destinations for their next adventure trip could find that Belize is ideal.
Situated in Central America, north of Honduras and north-west of Guatemala, the location is described by Lonely Planet as having "one foot planted in the Central American jungles and the other dipped in the Caribbean Sea".
In addition, it stated that Belize offers visitors the chance to go snorkelling, kayaking and trekking through ancient ruins.
Environmentally-friendly travellers who are hoping to get involved with ecotourism may want to consider going on a Costa Rica holiday.
According to Hellomagazine.com's travel section, the destination offers a unique getaway, especially if visitors decide to stay in the Tortuga ecolodge.
Holidaymakers can sleep in one of the numerous beach-front villas or spacious triple rooms, the website said, and wake up each day "in the midst of tropical vegetation".
