Central America is often overlooked as a tropical vacation destination. Yes, you might need to forgo a direct flight to get there (not always!) and hop on water taxis, ferries, or rickety puddle jumpers to get to your final destination, but the journey is part of the adventure. Make the trek and you’ll find world-class scuba diving in Utila, Honduras, the wildest of wildlife in Ometepe Island, Nicaragua, and places to explore in the hippie younger sibling of Belize’s island culture in Caye Caulker. So get your passport ready, pack a swimsuit, and pick your dreamy lounge spot, adventure-ready jungle, or lively beach town. Trust us—you’ll be glad you made the trip. More at our link in bio.⁠ ⁠ 1.
