Panama is the country that connects Central America with South America.

Officially, France also qualifies as such. However, within Latin America there are many other countries which have territories that could be considered as part of the region, including the United States (Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands), England (Belize, Jamaica, Falklands Islands), and the Netherlands (Suriname).

It wasn't located in South America at all.

The Maya culture was Mesoamerican (in Central America): from eastern and southern Mexico, through Guatemala, Belize and El Salvador to western Honduras (with the famous Copan ruins).

It does have a one an only main dish, but amongst the most common ones is the 'baleadas' which is a thinly hand made flour tortilla with beans, honduran cream, scrambled eggs folded in half. It is usually modified by adding more inside, such as pickled vegetables, chorizo, meat, basically anything you want. It is really common and cheap, which basically earns the heart and stomach of most hondurans.

Oceans have a moderating effect on temperature. They have what is known scientifically as a large heat capacity, larger than that of the dry land. It takes a great deal of energy to heat up an ocean, so they do not heat up as quickly as the land does, and then once they heat up, they remain warm longer than the land does. As a result, temperatures tend to be less extreme in coastal regions. The ocean can keep them warm in cold weather, and keep them cool in hot weather, to some degree. Inland regions, such as the central plains of North America, do not have this moderating influence, being far from the ocean.

Independence from Spain, in the case of Central America, was primarily a reshuffling of power between Peninsulares (Spaniards born in Spain) and Criollos (Spaniards born in Latin America). Since most of the population were in lower classes, like Mestizos, Amerindians, Free Blacks, Biracial Persons, and Slaves, the only thing that really changed for them was the set of men at the top of the hierarchy, nothing more.
