Master the Geography

I've realized as I've been planning this trip that many of you don't have a darn clue where Central America is. Canadians especially!

Central America is a geographical region that is technically part of North America. While it is not its own continent, it is a distinctly identified region apart from North and South America. I have included a map below for you perusal.



Green Star: Where I fly in.

Red Star: Where I fly out.

Blue Loop: The Mayan route I am planning on traveling through Belize and southern Mexico. I lived in Belize for a summer and will visit the research center where I stayed, and I have always wanted to go to Tulum, Mexico.

Red Loop: My approximate path down to Panama. (Obviously I will not be swimming through Lake Nicaragua...)

Hope this is helpful for some of you!
