From the Tortilla Curtain to the Darien Gap, this work talks about best of festivals, red hot lava tongues, and deep blue sea holes. Get off the beaten track. It discusses warmongering Aztecs and Maya sacrifice, and where to eat, drink, and sleep. With full-colour maps, it also talks about chocolate makers and surf breakers, the pick of diving and trekking, mischief-making monkeys, spookey-eyed frogs, and 'bonking' Bellbirds.
