Highlights - Part Four

We had expected our list of highlights from the last leg of our trip to be short, not least because we have only been in Central America for 6 weeks and visited 3 of the 8 countries that make up the area. The mix of culture, from Mayans to Spaniards to Africans, historical ruins and natural wonders make it a wonderfully diverse destination. Here's our list of highlights:

1. Exploring the Panama Canal, one of the world's engineering marvels
   
2. Travelling across the waters at Bocas del Toro by wind power
   
3. Getting a glimpse of Costa Rica's diverse wildlife
   
4. Whizzing round Isla Mujeres in a golf cart
   
5. Taking in the enormity of El Castilla pyramid at Chichen Itza, on of the new seven wonders of the world
   
6. Cycling around the jungle clad Maya ruins at Coba
   
7. Snorkelling amongst stalagmites and stalactites in the crystal clear waters of Cenote Ojas
   
8. Soaking in the view at the spectacular oceanfront setting of the Maya ruins at Tulum
   
9. Diving amongst the beautiful coral reefs at Isla Cozumel
   
10. Enjoying a little bit of paradise by the Caribbean Sea
