NORTH America

From the spectacular glaciers of Alaska to the steamy and lush, weathered peaks of Appalachia and the otherworldly desertscapes of the Southwest to the vast waters of the Great Lakes and the perpetually warm jungles of the south; few other countries have as wide a variety of natural scenery as the United States does. 

America’s National Parks are a great place to start. Yellowstone National Park was the first true National Park in the world, and it remains one of the most famous, but there are 57 others. The Grand Canyon is possibly the world’s most spectacular gorge with Sequoia National Park and Yosemite National Park are both home to the world’s largest living organisms, the Giant Sequoia.

Many of America’s natural treasures can be seen without passing through admission gates. The world-famous Niagara Falls straddles the border between Canada and the U.S.; the American side lets you get right up next to the onrush and feel the power that has shaped the Niagara gorge.

The “purple majesty” of the Rocky Mountains can be seen for hundreds of miles in any direction, while the placid coastal areas of the Midwest and the Mid-Atlantic have relaxed Americans for generations. The lush, humid forests of the east, the white sand beaches, the limestone mountains of the south, the red extraterrestrial landscapes of the west…it’s a country that has something for everyone and if you have time – Route 66 roadtrip is a must.
