Central America

Poised between the Old World and the New, the countries of Central America blend the magnificence of pre-Columbian civilisations with a society infused with pride and religious fervour. Tropical forest, national parks and a rich wildlife make this a haven of ecotourism. You'll discover Maya ruins half-buried beneath the vegetation, dazzling colonial cities that have resisted earthquake and hurricane. Meanwhile the Indians preserve their colourful traditions and their sense of festivity and legend.
