"Bigfoot Hostels are all around Nicaragua. The one in León can book your Volcano boarding tour right at the hostel and is the most popular operator. The Volcano boarding is a moderate hike up the side of a volcano carrying your board, and a super fun ride on the way down. Prizes are offered for the one who goes fastest, my top speed was 77km per hour, and I wasn't even the fastest! Cost is between $50-75 CAD, but is a super unique activity you wont forget. Pro Tip: Get the Bigfoot Hostel punch card, you can save on your total accommodation costs throughout Nicaragua by booking only through Bigfoot. Each hostel has it's own tour operator to make booking tours and busses easy as well. "

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!
