North America
A continent of grand scale — soaring mountains, desert canyons, Caribbean shores and some of the world's great cities.
Photography coming soonThe Overview
North America runs from the Arctic islands of Canada down through the United States to the tropical isthmus of Central America and the islands of the Caribbean. It is defined by scale: long mountain ranges, the Great Lakes, the Mississippi, the deserts of the southwest and thousands of miles of coastline on two oceans. The northern half is dominated by Canada and the United States, with their vast national parks, road-trip culture and global cities; the southern reach takes in Mexico's ancient civilisations and beaches, and the warm-water islands of the Caribbean. The variety means trips can be customised around almost any interest, from wilderness to city life.
For travellers, the continent is built for the road — the great American and Canadian routes between national parks are some of the world's classic drives, while cities are well connected by air. Mexico and the Caribbean add beaches, ruins and resorts to the mix. Timing depends heavily on latitude and altitude: summer opens up the far north and the high mountains, while winter is peak season for the Caribbean and the warm south, and shoulder seasons bring fewer crowds to the big parks. English dominates the north and Spanish the south, with both easily managed by visitors.
