North America doesn’t do things by halves. The vast expanse of land that is occupied by relatively few countries – Canada, Mexico and the USA, with a scattering of Caribbean Islands – has a mind-boggling variety of landscapes, culture,s and experiences for its small number of nations.
For many people, the USA is North America’s main draw. American media is beamed globally and come to dominate our cultural consciousness making cities like LA, New York, and Las Vegas almost as familiar to us as our home nations thanks to countless silver screen appearances. Away from the headline-grabbing cities, you will find millions of square kilometers of pure wilderness containing almost 400 protected national parks.
Canada, while culturally – and politically – distinct from the USA, manages to compete in terms of natural beauty. Here the vast emptiness delivers snow-topped mountain ranges, and crystal-clear lakes and is home to wolves, bears, and moose.
Mexico, on the other hand, is a world away from its northern neighbours. Here you will find glistening beaches, world-renowned cuisine, and intriguing Aztec remnants. The land that gave us Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera is a mesmerising blend of Latin American splendour, Mesoamerican tradition, and contemporary, cosmopolitan cities.
