That depends a lot where you are from. If I remember correctly, you are from Europe. You probably don't need a visa for a lot of countries.
All of North and South America should be open for you. You will get a tourist card / temp visa upon arrival. Depending on the country, it will be valid from 30 days to 90 days and can usually be extended.
Otherwise you would have to apply for a visa in the embassy of the country you are going to in your home country. You should plan ahead, as getting an appointment can be somewhat of a hassle.
Some of them require you to send your passport (and supporting documents) and they will return it with a visa. Some require you to show up for an interview.
If you book through a travel agent, they should know all these things and tell you, but don't rely on them alone. Do your own research.
A good website for travelers from and to the US is this:

I also recommend to see what kind of vaccination you need and what health risks there are in foreign countries:

Most caribbean countries in Central America don't require a visa either. I can't be sure about all the islands, esp. Cuba. Usually you should be fine.
