Whether you're an archaeology buff, an outdoor adventurer, or a partyer in search of a good time, Central America presents so many diverse travel options that it'll make your head spin. There are so many rainforests to hike, volcanic peaks to climb, coral reefs to scuba dive, and there's so much colonial splendor to see, that you can't possibly see and do everything that Central America has to offer in one trip. You can certainly make a good go of it, though.
