∙ 14y agoThe Tropic of Cancer is found in the Northern Hemisphere. It runs mainly over open water. In terms of the lands of North America, it just passes through the Caribbean island-nation of the Bahamas, and the country of Mexico. It doesn't pass through any land area belonging to the United States. But it does pass through United States waters. For it runs through the Florida Straits between Florida and Cuba, and between Necker and Nihoa islands of the northwestern Hawaiian archipelago.

So the Tropic touches no South American country. But it does run through the Latin American country of Mexico, which is found on the North American continent.
