Over nearly four decades in Central America I've amassed a sizeable quantity of (excursion) experiences, mainly very positive.
This would be my list of the top ten on the plus side, in no particular order.
Items marked with an asterisk are sadly no longer possible (usually).
Visit to Lamanai, Belize
Sitting atop Temple I, Tikal*
Lounging on beach beside the Castillo at the ruins of Tulum*
Boat trip along the Sumidero canyon
Swimming at Semuc Champey
Snorkelling at Laughing Bird Caye, Belize
Descending to tomb of Pacal, inside Temple of the Inscriptions at Palenque*
Swimming in cenote at Telchaquillo near Mayapán
Visiting church of San Juan Bautista in San Juan Chamula
A dip at the Blue Hole, Belize (The inland one!)
There have been a couple of negatives which were also kind of thrilling, like being briefly held at gunpoint by adolescent guerrillas with AKs in the Petén* in '88 and my first visit to San Salvador a year later when everyone was shooting each other.
