Map of Central America Caribbean

Central America is a narrow isthmus of land connecting North America to South America. The North Pacific Ocean lies to the southwest, the Caribbean Sea lies to the northeast, and the Gulf of Mexico lies to the north.

Most of Central America rests atop the Caribbean Plate. The region is geologically active, with volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occurring from time to time. Fertile soils from weathered volcanic lavas have enabled highland areas to support large towns and cities.

Central America provides a stunning coastline, temperate waters, tropical forests and a rich and diverse cultural experience, with numerous archaeological sites of civilizations past.

Highlights

• Ancient Mayan ruins in Tikal, Copán and Joya de Cerén.
• Colonial towns and architecture.

Costa Rica 11/6/09 Central America Caribbean » Costa Rica » Limón » Puerto Viejo de Talamanca

snakes 1

Hey Everyone! So i think today was my second favorite day here so far. We woke up around 7:45 because Myles set his alarm so we could get to our plans. We got up and headed to Banana Azul to rent some bikes again. We got on the road around 8:45. We were heading to the Jaguar Sanctuary just south of town. The sun was shining, which was nice because the past couple of days have been kind of over cast and rainy. When we got up we did not want to put on any sunblock or bug spray because we [View Full Entry]

Costa Rica 11/5/09 Central America Caribbean » Costa Rica » Limón » Puerto Viejo de Talamanca

Hello friends, Today was not that eventful. But, it is the calm before the storm. Cindy and George are arriving tomorrow night and i am sure we will be very busy showing them around to all our favorite places. I woke up around 8:45 and hung out on the porch waiting for Myles to wake up. I wanted to let him sleep because i know he has been going to bed very late. He got up around 10:30 and we decided to eat some frosted flakes. After breakfast we cleaned the house. We wanted to make it look nice before the [View Full Entry]

Correcting Problems Central America Caribbean » Panama » Bocas Del Toro

house 002

Still living with no basics. Haven't had a shower in 11(?) days. Haven't had a hot shower in almost 2 months. Days we aren't correcting shoddy workmanship, I come over to Bocas and internet. I will go with a different carpenter for the rest of the job. Mine has not been truthful with me, and that is worse than making mistakes on the house. The house won't be perfect, but it has charisma and one hellava view, baby! I need more money, but my card won't work in the ATM, and the local bank won't do any transactions for me. It [View Full Entry]

Papayas and coffee Central America Caribbean » Costa Rica

I´ve traversed more hills today than I ever cared to. But the rewards were huge...great conversations, wonderful food, deserted private beaches... I attatched myself to a girl from Holland who just finished two months volunteering at a turtle conservation and we went for what turned out to be quite possibly the world´s longest walk. Taking advice from the hostel worker, we took back roads and steep alleys and very probably someone´s backyard to get to what he said would be a beautiful beach. It did not dissapoint. Bath warm water, protected cove, white sand, tide pools. No one there. No one [View Full Entry]

black lizard

Hey guys, Sorry there hasn't been a blog for the past couple of days. When i was trying to upload some pictures to my last blog the internet stopped working and it would kind of flicker on and off for the past couple of days. Today is the first day that it has worked normally (keep your fingers crossed.). Even though i have not had a chance to write, you haven't missed much. Myles wanted to relax and recoup the past couple of days so that is what we have been doing. He finally feels back to normal this morning, thank [View Full Entry]

Panama Central America Caribbean » Panama

Panama City
View from our apartment on the 17th floor. This is Panama Bay and the Pacific Ocean.

October 9, 2009 to ..... January 2010 We are spending 3 months in Panama; neither one of us has been to Central America before. The people speak Spanish and I'm trying to get us by but seem to be using more sign language than anything else! We're here in the rainy season and it's very humid, but we're getting used to it. We rented a lovely apartment in the Punta Paitilla district. We're on the 17th floor with a lovely view of Panama Bay and the Pacific Ocean. We can see the big cargo ships gliding slowly past on the way [View Full Entry]

Getting to BVI Central America Caribbean » British Virgin Islands » Tortola

Getting to BVI from Denver is not the easiest travel itinerary. The airport is located on Beef Island, Tortola. One option is to fly through San Juan, Puerto Rico. We were warned about flights being delayed and canceled, so it's best to fly into San Juan and spend the night before flying to Beef Island (not so bad really!). A second option is to fly to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands and take a ferry to Tortola. The third option is to fly directly from Miami to Beef Island, but these flights are very expensive. We went with option [View Full Entry]

wandern & surfen Central America Caribbean » Nicaragua » San Juan Del Sur

Wandgemaelde in Leon

Vorerst....Fotos gibts spaeter weils gerade Probleme mit dem hinauflauden gibt. In Nicaragua waren wir bisher in 2 Staedten und haben danach ein bisschen Natur angeschaut. Zuerst sind wir, nach einem Hickhack mit Geldwechseln und Ein- und Ausreisegebuehr bezahlen, in Leon angekommen. Leon ist die Stadt, in der die Revolution in den 50ern angefangen hat und dementsprechend ist auch der Flair hier....riesige Gemaelde von Armeen, Schlachten und Revolutionsfuehrern an den Mauern und in der Uni und ueberall steht sowas wie "Fuer immer frei". Ueberhaupt ist das ganze Leben hier etwas lebendiger als [View Full Entry]

Costa Rica 11/2/09 Central America Caribbean » Costa Rica » Limón » Puerto Viejo de Talamanca

red dart frog again

How goes it people? So today was interesting. Not exciting, but interesting. I woke up this morning (around 4am) to the sound of Myles getting sick in the bathroom. When we had gone to bed he had been complaining of felling sick. And i knew that i had fallen asleep well before he did. Ive been taking benadryl because i have an ant bite on my foot that has caused my whole ankle to swell. But of course benadryl makes me really sleepy so i have had no problem going to bed the past couple of nights. Anyways, Myles started getting [View Full Entry]
