Earlier parts in the series: Africa, US & Canada, Oceania.
Each answer is a place, landmark or attraction in Latin America or the Caribbean, one per country. The answers traverse all countries by crossing land or (approximate) maritime borders. Each clue is missing a country name from another clue (not the answer to that clue, just the name of the country).
Notes:
- Some long names have been shortened. For example, if the full place name is "Xyz Royal National Park", the answer will be just "Xyz" (often with "royal national park" or similar as the definition).
- While many of the answers are obscure, all of them are notable enough to have a separate article on the English Wikipedia.
- In addition to the sovereign states of the region, I have included four other countries holding territory in the Caribbean: France, Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States.
- The Bahamas, Guyana and Suriname, while not a part of either Latin America or the Caribbean, have been included as a bonus because you are such good customers.
