Art/Literary - Geography
Spanish term or phrase: acorazado
En un discurso político:

"Latinoamerica, territorio formidable cuyas bellezas naturales hacen suspirar hasta al más escéptico de los humanos, comprende geográficamente una vasta región insertada en el norte de México (colindando con los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica) hasta el sur con la Patagonia de Argentina. Además, con las antillas caribeñas, ¡esas perlas paradisíacas!, forman un **acorazado** de belleza y diversidad cultural impar."

Como sustantivo, sólo he encontrado la traducción "battleship", que la verdad no me cuadra aquí.

protected area, (specially) demarcated area
Explanation:
After originally agreeing with Yvonne, on reflection I do think that an interpretation of acorazado is possible. I´ve hesitated a little over demarcated as well, but put it in for gd measure.
Good luck!

Explanation:
I think there has to be a typo and that it should be "acorazonado". That would make sense since the text is using figurative language.

Explanation:
Me imagino que quiere decir, en sentido figurado, que está blindado, protegido, resguardado por todos sus lados.
