- Central America is the region between modern-day Mexico and South America, which today consists of the countries Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. Before the region was colonized by the Conquistadors of the Spanish Empire in the early 16th century, Central and South America were home to various groups and polities of indigenous peoples, some of which, such as the Aztecs and Incas, had empires of their own.
