Central America is the narrow land bridge that connects North and South America. It lies between Mexico to the north and Colombia to the south, bordered by the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other. Although relatively small in land area, the region includes seven independent countries, each with its own distinct culture, geography, and history.
Geographically, Central America is known for its dramatic landscapes and rich biodiversity. The region features volcanic mountain chains that run parallel to the coasts, tropical rainforests that host an extraordinary variety of wildlife, and fertile valleys where many cities and agricultural activities are concentrated. Its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire also means that volcanic activity and occasional earthquakes are part of the natural environment.
Central America is home to several notable natural landmarks. Among them are towering volcanoes such as Tajumulco in Guatemala, the highest peak in the region, as well as lush national parks like Costa Rica’s Monteverde Cloud Forest. The Caribbean coasts offer coral reefs and crystal-clear waters, while the Pacific side features rugged shorelines and diverse marine ecosystems.
