Central America, The Perfect Alternative For Christmas

Central America Tourism Agency (CATA)

If you’re looking for a different Christmas away from the cold, Central America offers a myriad of possibilities, from diving in one of the most spectacular reefs in the planet and relaxing in perfect white-sand beaches to playing golf at some of the best courses in Latin America or enjoying fantastic views from the top of a volcano:
 

Cayo Caulker (Belize) and the island of Utila (Honduras) are amongst the top diving destinations in the world.  Cayo Caulker is the perfect base for divers wanting to explore the world’s second largest coral reef, just a mile away, whereas Utila, the smallest of the Bay Islands offers the possibility of diving with whale sharks all year round, with most sightings taking place in December.
 

If your idea of a perfect Christmas is to play golf in the sun, Costa Rica has just been recognised in the Golf Travel Awards given by IAGTO, the International Golf Tour Operators Association, as the Best Golfing Destination in Latin America and the Caribbean.  The award recognises the high quality and sustainable management of Costa Rica’s golf courses.
 

El Salvador offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy some of the most beautiful natural settings on the planet, such as the Santa Ana Volcano and Lake Coatepeque, which came second in the competition for the Eight Wonder of the World. 
 

The beautiful colonial city of La Antigua in Guatemala, one of the best preserved in the world, will transport visitors back in time as they enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride through its cobbled streets and explore its most magical corners.   Enjoy a relaxing stay at Casa Capuchinas, a beautiful colonial house which has been converted into a hotel.
 

Nicaragua has been named one of the Best Value Destinations for 2014 by Lonely Planet, highlighting some of the outstanding experiences available to visitors such as climbing the Concepcion Volcano on the island of Ometepe or a boat trip on the San Juan River.
 

Colón, capital of the Bocas del Toro archipelago, is one of the largest islands in Panama, and a dream destination for Christmas where visitors can snorkel or dive in crystal clear waters or relax on the beach.
