Had anyone been to any of the following countries:

Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama.

If so what were your experiences, where is great, where is not, also internally where are the best places to go in each country.

The main questions are whether it is worth (if coming down from the Yucatan peninsula) going through Belize AND Guatemala or just Guatemala.

Also is it worth going to Nicaragua or would it be better to zoom through there to spend more time in Costa Rica and Panama.

Thanks.
