Introduction

Central America's Top 20 Adventures

Central America, technicolor land of impossible hues: From the luscious greens of the cloud forests to the the blinding blues of the Great Maya Reef, this is one place you will definitely need to pack sunglasses

Most travelers come to Central America to see the ruins of the Mayan Empire, but stay when they discover that there's much more. Whether you're in Belize, Costa Rica, or Honduras, you can watch spectacular volcanic eruptions, go diving in a mind-blowingly beautiful underwater paradise, or hike for miles through an unbroken tropical forest that's teeming with wildlife unlike any you'll experience elsewhere: fuzzy two-toed sloths, resplendent quetzals, jaguars, and pumas, with blue morpho butterflies practically lighting the way.

All this beauty, and its all so close! So how about it? Get pumped and get going...and don't forget those shades!
