Volcanoes you can hike (and even surf down), colonial towns painted every colour, chicken buses, pupusas and some of the best surf breaks in the world: Central America is made for Instagram. We have written guides to Nicaragua, El Salvador and Antigua, Guatemala, and these captions are inspired by all three.
Here are over 100 Central America captions for Instagram: short ones, volcano captions, surf captions, captions for Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala, food captions, a few in Spanish, plus emojis and hashtags.
