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.
• To Be Updated

Backing Up - pt. 1 Central America Caribbean

about the $7600 mark

Well, finally hit some problems with the house. It's too long to go into detail on the blog, but unbeknownst to me, one of the days that Juancho (proper spelling, not Wanchow) and I went to Almirante for supplies, he let his crew work on the finishing the framing. As far as I can tell, he was having semi_skilled laborers try their hand at some unsupervised carpentry in our absence. You know that's gotta turn out well. They didn't follow his instructions and cut some corners - literally. When the floors and walls were put in, it became evident something was [View Full Entry]

Ny jobb og eit skittent basseng Central America Caribbean » Guatemala » Antigua » Antigua

Lina paa jobb :)

Hei og haa! No er det nok ein gang veldig lenge sidan eg har skrive men har liksom ikkje skjedd saa veldig mykje i det siste. For aa sei det slik, livet i Antigua er ikkje akkurat fylt meg fart og spenning, men saa er det akkurat det eg lika med livet mitt her :) No har eg omsider byrja paa den nye jobben min. Etter 1 veke i Miami tok eg meg 2 veker fri ettersom eg framleis hosta og har faatt beskjed om at ein ikkje kan gaa paa jobb om ein er sjuk. Barna faar lett lungebetennelse av [View Full Entry]

Welcome to being in a constant state of dripping sweat Central America Caribbean » Belize » Toledo District » Punta Gorda

My bedroom
With bug net!

I arrived in Belize City and was immediately greeted by the filthy hot air sneaking its way onto the plane. I stood around for about 15 minutes hoping to bump into a similarly minded traveler (read: poor) who wanted to split the cab into town. Unfortunately the crowd was a bunch of whities on their little exotic vacas, so I had to part with the $25US and make my way into town alone. I was dropped off at a hostel that was run by two ex-pats: a gray haired lady and her significantly younger pony-tailed partner. I ended up chatting with [View Full Entry]

On songe au départ. Central America Caribbean » Grenada » Saint George

Tootsie monte la garde pendant que JP prend sa douche
Il n’a pas résisté à l’envie de l’avoir à bord quelques heures… (me rappelle un certain Carrouso!)

Nous nous promenons de baie en baie au rythme de la température. Quand ça devient trop rouleur dans Prickly Bay, nous allons dans une autre baie mieux abritée. Lors d’un séjour dans Egmont Bay, nous avons découvert que la marina du Phare Bleu était à 15minutes de marche. Nous en avons profité pour aller voir un spectacle de Blues. Mais, nous ne devons pas oublier que nous vivons sur un bateau. Un bateau qui flotte sur l’eau et qui est soumis aux caprices du vent. On se sent tellement « à la maison » sur Absaroque qu’on l’oublie parfois. Mais Dame [View Full Entry]

Lifeguard, are you sure those waves aren't dangerous? Central America Caribbean » Guatemala » Reu

At the beach

Lifeguard, are you sure those waves aren’t dangerous? So I finally made it to the beach in Guatemala. Between my four visits here, I have been here for 19 weeks. You would think that in that time I would have made it to the beach sooner, but, no, I haven’t. But I have heard plenty about the beaches here—THEY ARE DANGEROUS. There are stories of undertows. And every time someone comes back from a beach I ask them about the water. I never believed in the undertows. From living in Los Angeles, I know about rip currents, and I know about [View Full Entry]

Costa Rica 10/25/09 Central America Caribbean » Costa Rica » Limón » Puerto Viejo de Talamanca

big moth on our porch last night

Dear Friends and Family, I mentioned in my last blog that we were headed down the road to a hotel out here for some drinks. Well it turns out that you can only go to that bar if you are staying at their hotel. We walked over, sat down, and ordered. We both got a mixed drink call a "pura Vita" its triple sec, tequila, and the local alcohol called Guaro. (which is fermented sugar cane.) The girl brought us our drinks , and just as we were about to take the first sip she asked for our room numbers. We [View Full Entry]

Matapalo- Dana's Surfing Paradise Central America Caribbean » Costa Rica » Puntarenas » Osa Peninsula

Photo 6

Surfing Paradise! Yesterday Dana was telling me his ideal vacation spot would be in a remote location with rustic living conditions and few other people to share the waves with while surfing. Today we found it! Dana met a Swiss architect who was renting out a big house by himself for a few months and invited us to stay with him. Our answer of course, was yes! To get out there you had to sit or stand in the back of a semi truck crammed full of up to 50 people for an hour drive on the worst roads in Costa [View Full Entry]

Panama Central America Caribbean » Panama » Panamá » Panama City » Casco Viejo

Photo 2

We wanted to spend some more time in Panama but we had already spent way more time in Central America and we were eager to reach Colombia. In Panama City we explored the old city which was destroyed by Captain Henry Morgan in the 1600s. Some of it had been rebuilt but there were a lot of buildings with collapsed floors either filled with garbage or quite contrastingly, plants and trees. Everywhere you looked there were stark contrasts. You would see a fine dining restaurant next to an ancient abandoned building, and next to that an equally decrepit crumbling building but [View Full Entry]
