6 | Welcome to Central America

Welcome to CENTRAL AMERICA Connected geographically to North America and culturally to Mexico and South America, this isthmus of seven beautiful countries is a literal bridge between the two. In this subcontinent that floats between worlds, everything here is, in a word, diverse: the rainforested volcanic landscape; the mestizo heritage of European and Native American roots; the variety of foods that springs from fertile ground. Don’t just sample but savor chocolate where it was first cultivated by the ancient Mayans and dubbed theobroma—“food of the gods”—cacao. Put on your most adventurous sandals and see if you can identify even close to the 8,000 different plant species in this region’s forests. Turn your face skyward to taste clean water that took ten minutes just to permeate the dense canopy of the tropical rainforest from the heavens above. Or, head for the surf and sand. It’s not hard in Central America, where not a single destination is farther than 125 miles from the oceans that surround it, and the waves are renowned for being as spectacular as the cloud forests that float languidly between mountain valleys. Will your lasting impression be of minnows that flit between round river rocks and your toes through crystal-clear freshwater streams in Belize? Or the rush of adrenaline you’ll awaken in Costa Rica as you soar across a zipline, raft fast-moving currents, and hurtle into forest depths on a bungee? Perhaps the European charm of Nicaragua’s Granada—nearly as Moorish and Andalusian as its namesake in Spain—is what you’ll remember most vividly. With so many fresh destinations to be discovered in Central America, who’s to say what yours will be?

Swampy coastal plains, hills to the south and interior, forests and jungles throughout, the largest cave system in Central America—this brilliant mix is blended beautifully in Belize. Here, over 500 species of birds add color to the treetops, while the second-largest coral reef on earth, the Belize Barrier Reef, draws visitors into the deep blue. Divers and snorkelers sink into the famous Great Blue Hole, or come up for air on Ambergris Caye, famed for its spectacular location and car-less charm. Red-footed boobies and exotic lizards roam freely at Half Moon Caye’s national park; locals on two legs are more often found in Belize City, where the famous Sea Wall brings everyone together. A little further exploration leads to Mayan ruins like Caracol in the Cayo District; the sound of Garifuna punta drums in Hopkins; the “Barefoot Perfect” golden beaches of up-and-coming Placencia; and all the cave tubing, canoeing, and horseback riding one could ever want. As the country’s tour guides like to say, it’s simply “un- BELIZE-able.” VACATION ENHANCING TOURS You’ll hear English everywhere, yet remain at a loss for words in Belize.

Covering nearly 12% of the Earth’s surface area, this mysterious continent is intriguing in its untamed diversity. From the highlands and plateaus of the east to the Andes Mountains of the west, and the river plain where the mighty Amazon River roars, some of the most beautiful natural sights on the planet are concentrated here. The highest volcanoes in the world tower above Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina, while more than 2,000 species of butterflies keep some of the world’s most rare and even yet-undiscovered flora and fauna company in the Amazonian jungle and Incan wilds. In the cities, the cosmopolitan streets of Buenos Aires and heady nightlife of Rio de Janeiro draw out butterflies of a social kind, while European Uruguay is a menagerie of natural and manmade habitats. The only question that remains is, which will you flit to?

Gauchos, the original cowboys, kick up the heels of their horses in the Pampas. European-Latin fusion and a zest for life mark the capital, where a lively arts scene vies with glorious gastronomy to headline as the essence of Buenos Aires. Yet step away from its cities, and this country is instantly trans- formed. It’s here that explorers will find landmarks as unforgettable as Iguazú Falls, with its winding Devil’s Throat and protected park. Patagonia is another, revered as a mecca of dinosaur digs. Fossil finds are easily commemorated in Bariloche—the “party capital of Patagonia”—with a glass of Malbec or Merlot, two of the most notable Argentine varietals. Although it is Mendoza that produces 70% of the country’s wines, the western province still bears resem- blance to its neighbor for its own “Triassic Park.” VACATION ENHANCING TOURS Create your own adventure by choosing your tour options ahead of time!

Near the end of the Pan-American Highway, fjords, snow-capped volcanoes, and agricultural fields decorate the horizon, while valuable lapis lazuli embellishes the Puerto Montt lake district. Pelluco is the most common base for travelers to the region, a beachfront resort area with access to rarities like the Punta Pelluco Fossil Forest. In Punta Arenas, the world’s southernmost major city, is Tierra del Fuego, where views of historic mansions can be exchanged for those of penguin and whale colonies in minutes.

Barrío Historico, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, forms the center of this colonial resort town alongside the Rio de la Plata, but the capital of Montevideo is no less enchanting, with houses that are given names instead of numbers—often of dashing historical figures. Set on a series of promedates, all routes from the Old City lead to the ocean, where nearby Punta del Este draws the international elite to white-sand beaches and stunning shores. But for vibrancy at its boldest, the world’s longest Carnival is not to be missed. Forty days of revelry, candombe drums, tango, milonga, and folk music fill the air each year, adding 40 more facets to this unassuming gem quietly hiding in the hills of South America.
