Reisverhalen / Wereld / Centraal Amerika

Geographically active and volatile, this isthmus connecting North and South America is extraordinarily fertile due to ongoing volcanic activity. The thriving agricultural sector provides the world with tropical fruit and coffee but, more importantly, the fertility of the land supports magnificent biodiversity. Many countries in this region were the home ground of the Maya civilisation and stone carvings and ruins of the sophisticated, ancient cities still stud the landscape, testimony to the prowess and advancement of these ancient civilisations.
