# List of ultras of Central America

The following sortable table comprises the 23 ultra-prominent summits of Central America. Each of these peaks has at least 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence. This article defines Central America as the seven nations of Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panamá.
The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways:
* The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level.
* The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.
* The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.
