FLIGHT DETAILS

The Act of Independence of Central America was enacted on September 15, 1821, which is now recognized as the national day of five countries in the region: Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Costa Rica.

To mark this occasion, our group flight this week will see us visit four of these countries, including a touch and go landing at Toncontín Airport (MHTG) in Honduras, ranked by The History Channel as the #2 most extreme airport in the world due to its challenging approach and difficult terrain.
