North America
Overview | Destinations: USA | Hawaii | Discover Canada
OVERVIEW
North America may not have as many old monuments usually found in Europe, but sheer natural beauty makes up for the lack of history. One of the most urbanized, but yet rich in untamed wilderness, the North American continent is a perfect destination for any kind of holiday. Bursting with life the mega metropolitans of New York and Los Angeles will enthrall, while the serece harmony of the untouched forests & mountains of Alaska and Canada will leave the visior in awe, and even those who love a tropical holiday can expect the best surf, beach & sun in Florida or Hawaii. Starting off with the good old United States of America where you've got the snowy summit of Alaska's Mount McKinley and the tropical waters of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, kayaking on Maine's Island Trail and biking in Arizona's Sonoran Desert.

During you travels in Mexico you can expand your mind in the morning gazing at the Mayan ruins of Tulum and then expand your lungs in the afternoon while diving at the amazing sites of Cozumel.

On the other side - not just geographically - there's Canada whose own variety ranges from the temperate rainforests of Vancouver Island to the snowy dogsled trails of the Yukon to the paddler's playground that is Algonquin Provincial Park.

North America attracts travelers from all over the world because it's so marvelously varied.
