The 7 Countries of Central America

Did you know that Central America is made up of 7 different countries? It's true! The 7 Central American nations are: Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama. Together, these countries make up the "Central American isthmus" (or the narrow strip of land between North and South America). Each of these countries has its own unique history and culture. They each have their own languages, food and customs as well. Some of them even have their own currency! So, today in this video, let’s learn all about these 7 countries that make up the entire Central America. Let’s begin, shall we!

1. Belize
Belize is a small Central American nation located on the eastern coast. It has a population of just under 400,000 people and covers an area of 8,867 square miles. The capital city is Belmopan, which is located in the central part of the country. The climate in Belize is tropical with average temperatures ranging from 24-32 °C (75-90 °F). There are two main seasons – wet and dry. The wet season runs from May to November and during this time heavy rains can cause flooding in some areas. The dry season runs from December to April when there tends to be less rainfall overall. Hurricane activity usually peaks between August and October so travellers should be aware of this if visiting during these months. There are many different things to see and do in Belize regardless of what your interests are. For those who love nature, there are plenty of opportunities for hiking, bird watching, cave exploration etc. While history buffs will enjoy learning about Maya culture at one of the many archaeological sites scattered around the country such as Xunantunich or Caracol. And let’s not forget about all the activities that can be done on or near water – swimming, snorkelling, diving, fishing… the list goes on! No matter what you’re looking for, chances are good that you’ll find it here in beautiful Belize!

2. Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a country in Central America with a population of 5 million. The country spans around a total area of 19,730 square miles and its capital city is San Jose. Costa Rica has a tropical climate and is home to many different kinds of animals including monkeys, sloths, and iguanas. The economy of Costa Rica relies heavily on tourism as well as agriculture and manufacturing. The history of Costa Rica begins with the native tribes who inhabited the land before European colonization. These indigenous peoples were eventually pushed out by Spanish settlers in the 16th century. For centuries thereafter, Costa Rica was largely controlled by Spain until it gained independence in 1821 along with other countries in Central America. Since then, Costa Rica has undergone various changes - most notably becoming a republic in 1848 and abolishing its army permanently in 1949. Today, Costa Ricans are known for their friendliness and love of nature - two things that make this small country an appealing tourist destination. In recent years, however, there have been some challenges to this image due to an increase in crime rates. Nevertheless, overall visitors still report having positive experiences when visiting this beautiful haven!

3. El Salvador
El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America, with a total land area of 8,124 square miles. It has a population of 6.7 million people and has its capital as San Salvador. The official language of El Salvador is Spanish, although there are also many speakers of indigenous languages such as Nahua and Maya. The majority of El Salvador's population is mestizo (of mixed European and Amerindian ancestry), but there are also significant numbers of whites (of European descent) and blacks (of African descent). Around 60% of the population lives in urban areas, while the rest prefer to live in rural areas. El Salvador has a tropical climate, with average temperatures ranging from 21°C to 27°C. The wet season lasts from May to October, while the dry season extends from November to April. Although it’s a tiny country, it is a haven for avid tourists due to its stunning beaches, lush rainforests and friendly people.
