Beautiful beaches, ancient Central American cities, striking natural beauty and unexplored territories, a range of adventure activities, which stimulate your adrenaline pumping – all these you can find in Central America. Start your Central America trip from the Cloud Forests of Panama or Lake Atitlan in Guatemala – ranked among the most beautiful spots on the planet. Visit the colonial towns of Juayua and Suchitoto in El Salvador or Leon and Granada in Nicaragua. The ruins of ancient cities, located across the region, make interesting sites to explore, offering insight into ancient civilization. Do not miss historically significant ancient Mayan ruins in Honduras and Belize, which tell you much about rich past of the countries. What can be more attractive then to sunbath at one of the amazing beaches of the continent? Nothing on earth can be compared with the beauty of beaches in Costa Rica (Puntarenas, and Limón), Nicaragua (Montelimar, and Pochomil), or Panama (Bocas del Toro and El Farallón).

A taste of every country is realized not only through its sights and attractions but also through its national cuisine, which makes this destination unique and unforgettable. Tourist Globe’s section Dining acquaints you with the specialties you are offered during your Central America trip. It is not a surprise why the tourists are eager to come back to Costa Rica. You think the beaches are the reason? No, it’s not quite right. The thing is oven tamales, wrapped with platano leaves, the national dish, which is worth trying. Not less tasty is grilled octopus, served in Panama, or pupusas, originated in El Salvador.

Our section Shopping gives you a lot of ideas what exact souvenirs to take back home from your Central America travel. This continent is characterized by rather cheap but greatly varied goods. Almost everything can be bargained, but do not think doing it in the upscale department stores, they, as in any other continent, have high prices. Coming to Costa Rica do not forget to buy leather rocking chairs, carved masks, and ceramics, as they are considered the best purchases in the country. From El Salvador travel the tourists can bring back home hand painted wood and wicker furniture. Panama is a duty-free paradise, where even jewelry and gems can be found at a cheap price.

Best are the people you’ll meet in Central America. Home-centered and devoted to their customs and raditions, they are eager to introduce you to their world, uknown and sometimes frightening for the strangers though amazingly interesting and involving.
