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

Costa Rica 10/23/09 Central America Caribbean » Costa Rica » Limón » Puerto Viejo de Talamanca

a cool birds nest i found this morning while i was waiting for myles to get up

Hello everybody. So, today was nice. We took it easy again. Just kinda hangin out and whatnot. I woke up around 7:45am to the bright sun peaking through our shutters (yes, there are shutters to keep all the bugs and craziness out.) Anyways, this has been the first day it was really sunny for a substantial amount of time. I sat on the porch for about an hour and read my book (i have already finished one, and so has Myles, i haven't seen him read this much in like, forever), and watched all the little geckos run around. There are [View Full Entry]

mass email Central America Caribbean » Nicaragua » Madriz » Somoto

Hey from the wilds of Nicaragua! I don’t remember when I wrote the last mass email was. Been a long time! I have been here in the Nica for over a year, having arrived in country last September. I swore in as a Peace Corps Volunteer just before Thanksgiving and was placed in the community of Moropoto, Madriz. At the end of next month I will be half done with my service! This year has been rough, not gonna lie. There have been moments when I’ve thought about throwing in the towel and returning to the States to fight for a [View Full Entry]

I Wish I Had another Plastic Chair Central America Caribbean » Guatemala » Quetzaltenango » Quetzaltenango

Plastic chair and stool
Here is 25% of the seating in our house.

I Wish I Had another Plastic Chair I wish I had another plastic chair. Eight people live in my house, and our house has a total of four chairs and I think four stools. If you do the math that means that we have enough seating for everyone in our house. But here is the problem: I don’t like sitting on the stools; they are just not comfortable. And…those chairs and stools are spread out all over the house. One of the chairs is mine—I am sitting in it right now, it is my desk chair in my room. Another chair [View Full Entry]

Day 16: Manuel Antonio National Park Central America Caribbean » Costa Rica » Puntarenas » Manuel Antonio

Up bright and early for our free breakfast of coffee and pineapple! very local! and to catch the 8am bus to Manuel Antonio. Once arrived, we wandered up to the entrance, passing a racoon in a bin (hahaaa) and pushing aside the guide offers. We were going to do this ourselves!!!! The beginning of the trail was a bit dissappointing as it was more of a road than a path, and there were telephone wires alongside the road - not very natural! Lots of tour guides were ahead, whipping out their binoculars and working up the tourists into a frenzy by [View Full Entry]

Day 17 Heading for Montezuma, Nicoya Peninsula Central America Caribbean » Costa Rica » Puntarenas » Montezuma

Today was another day set to moving to a different area of the country. After another yummy breakfast of pinapple and coffee ( We are definatly in need of that cup every morning now!) we headed to the bus station to catch a bus to Puntarenas where we planned on getting a boat across the Golf of Nicoya. After 3 hours we arrived at our destination (along with Jo and Mark - the honeymooners who were also heading to the same place) but realised that the dock for the boat was the other side of town. The bus driver waffled something [View Full Entry]

Day 18: Checking out Montezuma Central America Caribbean » Costa Rica » Puntarenas » Montezuma

Had a very brief explore of the village this morning, brief as it´s absolutely tiny!! Just a crossroads basically with a few bars and restaurants and one club...Chico´s!! Would definately be hitting that for Tashas birthday evening extravaganza. A guide book even described the atmosphere at night as "banging". This we had to see. Em bought a book from the local store as her last one got RUINED by the stupid tidal wave (which we shall refer to it as), and the ex-book was no longer exchangeable at hostels as it was cover and backless. Grabbed Tasha from the hostel and [View Full Entry]
