Mexico and Central America
What you need to know before you go
Mexico and Central America often conjure up images of world-class beaches edged by the Caribbean Sea. Central America is made up of 7 tropical countries, namely Panama, Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula is where snorkellers and divers get to visit one of the world’s largest coral systems, called the Great Mesoamerican Reef.
Tradition still plays an integral part in Central America and Mexico, with cultural festivals livening up the streets all year round. Well-preserved Mayan ruins and Aztec temple sites can be found among lush jungles, giving you a glimpse of these once great civilisations. Offering the best of both worlds – a tropical paradise and an ancient civilization – you’re bound to enjoy a unique holiday experience in Mexico and Central America.
