Is Central America North or South America?
Then, is Mexico in North or Central America?
Central America. Central America, southernmost region of North America, lying between Mexico and South America and comprising Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Belize. (Geologists and physical geographers sometimes extend the northern boundary to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico.)
Keeping this in consideration, is Central America considered part of South America?
Although Central America is considered to be its own region, geographically it is the south-most part of North America. Central America is an isthmian part which connects North America to South America and is considered by many to be a part of North America.
This region is bordered by Mexico to the north, Colombia to the southeast, the Caribbean Sea to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west and south. Central America consists of seven countries: Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama.
