Present Day Central America

This isthmus emerged from the seas millions of years ago to become a genuine tropical sanctuary, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. It is home to 12% of the planet’s biodiversity, and is the second most important bird watching area in the western hemisphere, and is part of the second largest coral reef in the world.

This land is the cradle of millenary civilizations that bring to the present a past full of epic tales. Today it is home to an average of 65 different indigenous peoples, which inhabit almost 40% of the land and marine surface of the Isthmus, where more than 60% of the region’s ecosystems are protected.
