Central America

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

Central America is the southernmost part of the North American continent on Earth, connecting to South America.

The ancestral homeland of the Rubber Tree People lies in the rainforests of Central America, where some of their descendants still live in the 24th century. Kolopak once took his son Chakotay on an expedition to Central America to find them. (VOY: "Tattoo")

When the USS Voyager was accidentally transported from 2373 to 1996, Chakotay speculated he could work as an archaeologist in Central America, if there were no way back to the 24th century. According to Chakotay, important discoveries still were to be made in this time, which could even earn him a Nobel Prize. (VOY: "Future's End, Part II")
