Latin Am/Caribbean Travel Feature Writer: Bob Bowers

Latin America/Caribbean Travel covers a sweeping section of the hemisphere, including Mexico, Central America and the 26 countries and territories that make up the Caribbean. This is a widely and culturally diverse region.

The area’s geography is equally varied, with hundreds of islands, thousands of miles of beaches, deserts, mountains, volcanoes, jungles and rain forests. Rich in history, color and cuisine, the region draws a constant stream of tourists from around the globe.

Within this section, you’ll learn the best place to exchange dollars for pesos, where you can pet a 2,000 pound baby whale or scuba dive in Cuba. Photograph a Boojum or hit the sugar beaches of Providenciales? The choices are endless.
