North America is a place of such raw natural beauty it leaves even the locals gobsmacked. It’s a place for nature lovers to explore the snow-capped mountains of Colorado, admire the grandeur of the Canadian Rockies, appreciate the magnificence of the Sonoran Desert or cruise next to spectacular glaciers in Alaska.

From lush tropical rainforests and dry arid deserts to the Arctic state of Canada and the temperate zone of the Gulf Coast, North America has the rare claim of covering all seven climatic zones. Amongst these incredibly diverse landscapes are endless adventures waiting to be had. Whether you fancy zip-lining between mountains in Whistler, hiking up volcanoes in Hawaii, off-road touring in Arizona or going whale-watching on Vancouver Island, North America will be sure to leave you speechless.

We can’t talk about North America and not mention the food! The continent is a delicious melting pot of cuisines. Try the Canadian speciality poutine (chips with cheese curds and gravy) in Quebec, fresh lobster in Maine, barbecue ribs in Texas, oysters in Vancouver and deep-dish pizzas in Chicago. It’s a good thing there are so many mountains to climb to work off all that food!
