Latin Am/Caribbean Travel


Feature Writer: Bob Bowers

The Latin America/Caribbean region is a gorgeous chunk of the world, and lucky enough to have a taste of everything. Check out a lucha libre match in Mexico City, learn Spanish in Guatemala, or find a rustic paradise on Little Corn Island, Nicaragua.

Over in the warm Caribbean Sea, relax at an all-inclusive resort at Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic or go outlet shopping in Puerto Rico. And almost everywhere, there’s diving, snorkeling, fresh seafood and gorgeous warm temperatures.

If you can bear to leave, take a sailboat from Panama to Colombia, and experience the stunning San Blas Islands along the way.

This section covers everything you need to prepare for a trip to Central America and the Caribbean Islands.
