Your Central America Travel Questions Answered

Kellie Bright of the The Kasbah - Gecko’s Grassroots Adventures Blog, posted a terrific Travel FAQ on Central America. 

I’ve been to several parts of South America but have hardly seen any of Central America. A dream of mine is to take a trek across all of Mexico - but then I stop and think how cool it’d be to surf in Nicaragua, or to see the Tikal ruins in Guatemala. Too many choices!

For those dreaming about or planning a trip to the region, this FAQ is a good place to start. Many of the tips can be applied to almost any trip, but it’s full of info and insight. Here’s an excerpt:

Is English widely spoken in Central America?
For the most part, no. However, on the Yucatan peninsula a wide group of people do speak English although the primary language is Spanish. In Belize, the official language is actually English since it is a former British colony. In more touristy countries like Costa Rica you’ll find that more people speak English. Still, you’ll have a better time in the area if you learn a little bit of Spanish before you go, or better yet while you’re there.
