There are differences in central america cultures and south american cultures but they are both part of latin america.

Latin America cover those countries where "Romance Lenguages" are spoken. Romance Lenguagues in Latin America are Spanish and Portuguese. So the countries under Latin America are all the countries of Central America (except Belize), and all the countries of South America (except Guyana, French Guyana and Surinam) and the caribbean countries that speak spanish and portuguese.

Answer 6

I agree, that's strange. Latin America refers to both Central and South America, as well as some countries in the Caribbean.

Answer 7

The Americas are divided into two: North America (Panama and all countries northwards) and South America (Colombia and all countries southwards).

Latin America is a conceptual idea based upon countries which have been strongly influenced by their spanish (and portuguese) ties: hence it refers to all the mainland countries from Mexico southwards to chile & argentina, in addition to certain SPANISH speaking carribean countries such as cuba and puerto rico.

Central America refers to the block of countries between mexico and panama inclusive.
