Central America Villa Rentals

Central America Villa Rentals

Central America is an isthmus.  An isthmus is a strip of land connecting two larger land masses with bodies of water on both sides.  In Central America's case, it connects North and South America, and is bordered by the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans.  The Panama Canal built between 1904 and 1914, is the only waterway to link the two oceans.

There are seven countries in Central America: Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Panama. The population of Central America is approximately 41,739,000 people.

Though each of the countries in Central America have a unique high and low season, all the countries follow a similar pattern of attracting the most visitors either during the winter months, school vacations, holidays, or some combination of the three to stay in Central America villa rentals in popular vacation spots. While regional temperatures stay pleasant year-round, Central America generally has a warm, tropical climate. In most areas, temperatures range between 60 and 90 degrees year-round. 

Geographically, the countries have a great abundance of volcanoes.  This has had an important influence on the cuisine because the volcanoes have fertilized the soil with mineral nutrients that have made this one of the richest areas of biodiversity in the world.

Although there is no end to Central America’s attractions, most travelers make a beeline straight to the best Central America beaches and islands. Because of the isthmus's warm waters, flourishing marine life, and soft sands spanning two diverse coastlines, the epicenter of the Central America villa rentals is along the edges. From rollicking Pacific shores to outlying Caribbean isles, the beaches of Central America are truly unbeatable.

One of the characteristics of all Central American cooking is the use of fresh ingredients, from fresh meats and vegetables, to tortillas and breads made to order, even dairy products prepared the same day.  Visit the markets that are abundant with the sweet aromas of tropical fruits and vegetables and spices, displayed in an endless sea of colors.

Central America is a paradise for natural fruit drinks, since it has a seemingly endless variety of fruits that can be mixed together to produce deliciously healthy and refreshing beverages.  One can find a natural fruit juice stand on almost every street corner on hot, sunny days.
