Central America Family Expedition

35 days. Two countries. Ten families. One unforgettable journey.

What if you could spend five weeks travelling through Nicaragua and Costa Rica with a small group of like-minded families?

Not a bus tour.

Not a resort holiday.

And definitely not a rushed checklist of tourist attractions.

This is Roots & Wings – The Family Rewilding Way, a 35-day travelling family expedition designed for just 10 adventurous families.

Together, we'll explore two incredible countries at a pace that allows families to actually experience them.

We'll travel together. Learn together. Adventure together.

And give the kids the freedom to experience Central America as more than just a holiday destination.

Two countries. One shared adventure.

Nicaragua (17 days)

May 1–17, 2027

Our journey begins in Nicaragua, moving through some of the country's most diverse landscapes and communities.

πŸ“ LeΓ³n
🌊 Pacific Coast
πŸ›οΈ Granada
πŸ’§ Laguna de Apoyo
πŸŒ‹ Masaya

πŸ„ San Juan del Sur

From volcanic landscapes and colonial cities to tropical islands, surf beaches and freshwater lakes, Nicaragua gives us the perfect beginning to our Central American adventure.

Costa Rica (18 days)

May 18 – June 4, 2027

Then we cross into Costa Rica and continue south through some of the country's most spectacular natural environments.

πŸ“ La Fortuna
πŸŒ‹ Arenal
🌿 Monteverde
πŸ’ Manuel Antonio
🌊 Pacific Coast

Rainforests, volcanoes, cloud forests, wildlife and the Pacific β€” with plenty of opportunities for children to get outside, get curious and learn through experience.

More than a route from A to B.

Just like our Indonesia Expedition, we aren't simply taking you from one destination to the next.

We're travelling alongside you.

We'll organise the group transport, border crossing, major experiences, tours and lunch each day, taking care of the logistics that can make travelling through two countries with children feel overwhelming.

At the same time, your family keeps the freedom to make the journey your own.

You choose your flights and accommodation, allowing you to travel within a budget and style that works for your family.

That means you can choose the simple family guesthouse, the beautiful boutique hotel or something in between β€” while still sharing the adventure with the group.

The Roots & Wings experience

This isn't traditional tourism.

It's learning through movement, nature, culture and real life.

Children aren't being taken around a list of attractions to tick off.

They're experiencing different ecosystems, languages, foods, communities and ways of living β€” asking questions, solving problems, making friends and discovering the world as they go.

Parents are part of that learning too.

The journey becomes the classroom.

You don't need to be an experienced worldschooling family.

You don't need to have travelled through Central America before.

And you don't need to know exactly how you're going to manage five weeks of family adventure.

We'll take care of the big logistics.

You'll bring your family, your curiosity and your sense of adventure.

Only 10 families.

If you've been looking for a way to travel Central America with your children, meet other adventurous families and experience Nicaragua and Costa Rica far beyond the usual tourist path...

This might be the one.
