[中文]美洲中部蕴藏着许多神秘的宝藏,其中包括大量的玛雅古居,这里适合那些喜欢远离人群的游客。
美洲中部的7个国家,玛拉巴拿马,伯利兹,洪部拉斯,萨尔瓦多,尼加拉瓜,哥斯达黎加,到处都有着美丽的自然风景和文化宝藏。许多地区受自然保护,玛雅古居和殖民的城市已被联合国教育,科学,文化组织列为世界文化遗产。
有许多火山和外来动物王国要去探寻,只有一个部分外人知道它们。在尼加拉瓜参观玛雅火山的是一个刺激的经历,当闻到浓烈的硫磺的气味,和听到鹦鹉的叫声才反应过来。而火山旁边的停车场是空无一人的。这是对勇敢的游客的恩惠。他们可以一个人欣赏整个美景,不需要与那些成群结队的游客共享。
从殖民时期开始,萨尔瓦多有一个“花之路”和尼加拉瓜有一个“白色村之路”是相连的村庄。洪都拉斯正在发展一个方法去连接大西洋的美洲本地社区,从加勒比印第安和非洲人的后裔家勒伏那人到生活在丛林的米基斯托印第安人。
地质爱好者也可以沿着火山小道穿过美洲中部。在一个地区有很多火山,一些火山口是完美的锥形,经常冒着烟。他们当中有一些是不好接近的。
在尼加拉瓜,汽车可以沿着玛雅火山口前行。这是一座只有500米高的活火山。为了安全着想,再爬火山前每名游客应先从当地旅游专家那里了解当地信息。
2000年8月,哥斯达黎加北部的阿雷纳尔火山喷出滚烫的气体和火山灰,吓坏了当地的居民和游客。
个人出行的游客可以轻易找到旅游信息。长途汽车可以穿行在这个地区的所有国家。车上配有空调和电视,是非常舒适的。
如果你是坐那种当地又小又破的汽车穿行在村落间,你将能迅速与当地居民和他们的动物亲密接触,甚至会有老母鸡像小孩子一样跳到你的大腿上。[/中文]
[外文]Central America is home to many secret treasures for tourists who like to avoid the crowds, including numerous ancient Maya settlements.
The seven countries of Central America--Guatemala, Panama, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica--are full of natural beauty and cultural treasures. Many of the region′s nature reserves, ancient Maya settlements and colonial cities have been declared world cultural heritage sites by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Grganizatian.
There are lots of volcanoes and an exotic animal kingdom to explore, yet few people outside the region know of them. The view into the crater of the Masaya Volcano in Nicaragua is a breathtaking experience, enlivened by the accompanying strong smell of sulphur and the loud screaming of parrots. Yet the car park on the edge of the crater is nearly empty. This is a boon for daring travelers who can enjoy all the beauty without having to share it with hordes of others visitors.
El Salvador has a “road of flowers,” and Nicaragua has a “road of white villages” connecting villages from the colonial period.6 Honduras is developing a means of connecting the native American communities in the Atlantic coast.
Geological enthusiasts could also follow a volcanic trail through Central America. There are many volcanoes in just a small area, some with perfectly cane-shaped peaks constantly emitting smoke from their craters. Some of them are partially accessible.
A bus travels to the edge of the Masaya craters in Nicaragua, an active volcano just 500 meters high. For safety reasons, every traveler should get local information from the local tourism authority before climbing a volcano.
The Arenal Volcano in northern Costal Rica terrified local inhabitants and tourists in August 2000 when it spouted hot gas and ash.
Individual travelers can easily find travel information. The long distance buses that connect all the countries in the region are very comfortable with air conditioning and TV.
And if you travel through the villages in small, local rundown buses, you will swiftly come into close Contact with local inhabitants and their animals. You are just as likely to have a hen thrust into your lap as a small child.[/外文]
