Central America OVERVIEW
OK, it really might be too far-fetched, but if you at least try to imagine this relatively narrow strip of land joining North and South Americas as a string of cheese stretching between two giant pieces of pizza, it will be a way easier to put you in the picture about how much is packed into so few square kilometers, which essentially is the key to understanding what makes Central America tick. The myriad flavors coming both from its own exquisite bouquet and from other ingredients that have inevitably left their traces make for so appetizing a blend that every centimeter swallowed is a palate-pampering delight and a spur for unbridled feasting.
The long-lasting aftertaste of Belize's diving sites, the sumptuous vegetative splendor of Costa Rica, the savory element of volcanic El Salvador, the ancient Mayan spice of Guatemala, the soothing taste of Honduran pristine beauty, the classical imported relish of colonial architecture in Nicaragua, and the sobering pinch of village life in the Panama jungle- you will find them all so markedly distinctive and inimitable that any attempt to try this at home is simply bound to end up in a failure and leave your appetite unsatiated. Plus it does matter who serves the food, and if the way to a man's heart is really through his stomach, you'll fall in love with both Central America and its peoples.
