Planning a Trip in Central America

Visitor Information

Note that a number of small towns throughout this region do not have tourist board offices.

In the United States or Canada, you can get basic information on Central America by checking out the CIA World Fact Book (www.odci.gov) or the U.S. State Department's travel advisory section on http://state.gov. In addition to this official site, you'll be able to find a wealth of Web-based information on Central America with a few clicks of your mouse.

The American Automobile Association (www.aaa.com) produces a decent road map for the region, but perhaps the best map of Central America is the Travelers Reference Map of Central America, produced by ITM and available in larger bookstores.
