What to expect

Climate

Central America and the Caribbean generally experience a tropical climate, characterized by warm temperatures and high humidity year-round. There are typically two main seasons: a dry season (roughly December to April) with plenty of sunshine, and a wet or "green" season (May to November) with heavier, but often brief, afternoon showers. Coastal areas, particularly in the Caribbean, can be affected by hurricane season, primarily from June to November.

Transport & Accessibility

Transport options vary significantly across Central America and the Caribbean. In some larger nations and popular tourist areas, you'll find domestic flights, intercity buses, and readily available taxis. On many Caribbean islands, ferries are crucial for island hopping. Public transport infrastructure can be less developed than in Europe or North America, with informal shared taxis and minibuses common. Accessibility for disabled travellers is still developing, and challenges may be encountered due to uneven terrain, lack of ramps, and limited accessible public transport in many areas.

Safety & Health

Safety levels in Central America and the Caribbean can vary considerably between countries and even within regions of the same country. While popular tourist destinations and resorts are generally safe, it's crucial to research specific areas and follow local advice. Petty crime, such as pickpocketing, is common in crowded areas. Healthcare facilities range from excellent private hospitals in major tourist hubs to more basic services in rural areas. Comprehensive travel insurance is highly recommended, and travellers should be aware of mosquito-borne illnesses like dengue and Zika, making insect repellent a must-have. Always consult your doctor for necessary vaccinations.
