Volcano Hike in La Fortuna

(This post contains affiliate links, for more information read this  privacy policy ) I couldn’t leave Central America without doing at least one volcano tour in Costa Rica or Panama.

Granted we didn’t spend much time is San Pedro Sula (current murder capital of the world), or other major cities infamous for recent violence. I am sure the stats are true, and parts of the country are dangerous, but you have to look at what the danger is focused on: Drugs Are you as a tourist involved in the drug trade?
