Central America, the narrow band of land connecting America’s South and North continents, is often called a subcontinent. It’s bordered on the north by Mexico, on the southeast by Colombia, on the south by the Pacific Ocean, and to the east by the Caribbean Sea. Long before this paradise-like region was colonized by Europeans, ancient civilizations thrived on these lands. The Mayan civilization built amazing edifices, roads, and ancient cities like Tikal. All of its seven countries—Panama, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Belize—are popular travel destinations for the unique touristy sites they offer. Explore the pristine beaches surrounded by tropical forests and mountains rich with a diversity of flora and fauna. Enjoy the warm and humid weather all year round. Check out our list of the best places to visit in Central America, and include them in your travel plans!

Several markets, three museums, and handicraft stores are within this location. The town does not have urban planning, so some of the ancient government offices were moved to different neighborhoods.
