Of course no country is better than other...
But in terms of wealthy, health and education the South American countries, in general, are better than the Central American ones. Here comes some rankings

7) Colombia 6.702 S.A.
8) Peru 5.260 S.A.
9) Venezuela 4.919 S.A.

well my family is from a country in central america, called honduras. I think that there is no who's better. Im from central america and i love it there. I've never been to south america so I wouldn't know. I don't think someone should say one place is better then another, it's stupid. Places have negative and positive things about them.
No matter what both continents are have spanish speaking and Lainto Inhabitants. SO should it matter? WE should be united!

You gotta be kidding me right? All countries are equal. If someone has a hiearchy of countries, it shows ignorance.

they both have bad and good things, i live in CR and i think Latinamerican people rocks! Although i think for traveling they both have many great places to visit. It depends on how you see it, but CENTRAL AMERICA is not just dirt, i hate the fact that some people think we live in trees or that we dont know what cellphones are!!! They really need to get some info

Well I wouldnt say dirt but it is an easy decision for me that South America is nicer than Central Ámerica. I am not biased because I am not from either part.

i think that South America is better then Central America but that is just my opinion
