Central & South America
Travelers to Central and South America find a variety of countries with shores on the Atlantic, Pacific, and Caribbean with tropical beaches, rainforests, mountains, and wildlife. In Central America, Panama’s famed canal is a popular tourist attraction, and Costa Rica’s resorts and “pura vida” lifestyle attract vacationers. South America’s countries range from warm tropical locales in the north to the gateway to Antarctica in the south, with the Amazon River, Machu Picchu in Peru, and Ecuador’s Galapagos in the west.
