North America
North
America is a large and diverse region which offers tourists and travellers a
plethora of experiences and sceneries.
Consisting of Canada and the United States of America, this region
provides opportunities for active and passive touring.
The United States of America
The United States of America is steeped in history both of its native indigenous (Indian Americans) and its contribution to western democratic life. Proud of its history and heritage, this country is dotted with Museums and landmarks which will fascinate and intrigue any visitor. And it eccentricities will amuse and entertain.
If nature and landscape are your thing, sites such as Monument Valley, the Great Plains or the Mississippi are a must. Nature lovers will revel in the accessibility to National Parks such as Yellowstone, Glacier, and Yosemite. Alternatively, you can always take the chance to look for brown bears at the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska.
On the other hand, if you are more into man-made thrills, the theme parks on the West Coast of the USA are a natural drawcard for families and those young at heart. The raciness and revelry of Las Vegas will astound and bemuse. And then there is New York! No words can describe the experience of visiting the city that doesn’t sleep. Just know, it is a must!.
