It
has recently discovered that the Caribbean ocean shore beaches possess
a revered status in the bird world. There is one of only three “mega-birdwatch” sites
worldwide, where it is possible to observe raptor numbers from 5,000
to 200,000 birds in a day in the Puerto Rico Mountains. The birds,
on their way south from the States and Canada are mostly Swainson’s
hawks, turkey vultures and broad tailed hawks. But there are many
other kinds of hawks, kites and falcons either. And there is the
observation tower for specialists and tourists to watch the birds
there. It's a beautiful hike through the jungle in the Central America
reserve. The migration season continues till the end of November.
The Caribbean side of the region presents white-sand beach shores
and the English-speaking cultures of Belize, Honduras and Nicaragua
- great places for cheap dives with sharks and stingrays. There are
also the "surf villages" with their beaches and the breaks
near Leon, Nicaragua. Meanwhile, national parks and the untamed jungle
the most notably of Panama and Honduras make for untamed adventures.
Buses with tourists zip from country to country, but if you hope
to make any sense of the region, slow down. It's the Central American
way. Copyright
