Central America Region Dossier
The narrow isthmus of Central America forms the land bridge between the Pacific and the Caribbean, reaching its narrowest point in Panama. As a region, Central America may be dwarfed by its northern and southern neighbours, but it packs a huge amount of sights into a small area. Travel in Central America means experiencing a vibrantly colourful part of the world - Mayan temples lost in the jungle, fiestas held in small Indian villages, beautiful tropical beaches along the Caribbean coast, and a rich musical heritage where you can get into the swing of the Latin way of life.
