Anton Valley, Panama
Volcano Crater
Recommended hikes: La India Dormida, Cerro Gaital Trek and Cerro Iguana Hike.
El Valle de Anton is not a sleepy town as you might imagine, it is busy especially on weekends when locals from Panama City arrive, so book your accommodation in advance. That's being said this place still keeps its countryside charm.
-
Boquete, Panama
The main reason why to visit Boquete is climbing Panama's highest mountain for sunrise, Baru Volcano.
But you can also choose from a number of hikes in the cloud forest, look for an elusive Quetzal bird, do water rafting or visit coffee plantation, because Boquete is a premium destination for all coffee lovers

Corn Islands, Nicaragua
Public transport:
Take a bus from Managua to Bluefields. If you want to avoid travelling at night, the latest bus you can take is 9:15 am.
Sleep one night in Bluefields. We stayed at Typical House Bluefields which was not great but it was cheap and the location close to the ferry was convenient.
Take the ferry from Bluefields to Big Corn Island. Currently, it leaves every Wednesday and Saturday. The ride is around 7 hours long and can be quite choppy.
Take a panga from Big Corn Island to Little Corn Island.
The Rio Escondido is the only reliable boat going from Bluefield to Big Corn. It only does this trip once a week, Wednesdays 09:00. To catch this boat you have to take the bus from Managua to El Rama Tuesday 21:00 arriving in El Rama at 03:00. There is an area to wait for the speed boat that leaves at 06:00.
If you walk around the street corner there are cheap empanadas and coffee for sale. Trust me you will be bored, tired and hungry. The boat and bus ticket can be bought as a combination in Managua at the bus terminal, and then you have a guaranteed seat on the speed boat. Try to buy your bus ticket in advance, or at least arrive a couple of hours early. We could only get standing tickets and were very lucky that there were cancellations and we got on the bus that night!
