North America including Mexico & Caribbean:
Stunning natural beauty and wildlife, rugged mountains and canyons, crystal azur waters and pounding surf – discover the best of the Americas.
USA:
The disparate population of the United States can be compared to a quilt fashioned from all the discarded fabrics of the world, with little in common except for a desire to choose their own path to wealth and happiness, brought together by ideals of the Declaration of Independence to create the richest and most powerful country on earth.

Canada & Arctic:
What do you get when you mix Canada's indigenous, French and British traditions? You have a nation with an excitingly complex three-dimensional nature. If you expect Canada to be a watered down version of the United States, then you'll be sadly disappointed. Although nearly 90% of Canadians huddle along the 6379km southern border with the USA, Canada's wild northern frontier and its distinctive melting-pot of people and cultures has created a country that is worlds apart from its -close neighbour.
Although much of Canada is covered by lakes and dense river-filled forest, there are abundant mountains, verdant plains and even a small desert for you to discover. Western Canada is known for its venerable Rocky Mountains, while Eastern Canada has the country's major cities, quaint coastal communities and its most visited geographic feature, the legendary Niagara Falls.
The Arctic region, in the far north, is where you'll find frozen tundra merging into islands that are ice-bound year-round. As the polar ices caps continue to melt at an alarming rate, northern nations are quickly staking claim to territories and waterways. Vast open space and largely uninhabitable, the far north has long been a playground for arctic species.

Mexico & Caribbean:
Mix modern with the traditional in Mexico and the clichéd is surreal - this is the key to Mexico's charm. Mexico is enjoyable year-round, but you’ll find the weather October to May is the most temperate – this is also when hordes of suntan lotion drenched tourists flock to the seaside mega-resorts in search of margaritas or to expand their Day of the Dead collection of folk art skeletons.
Whether your passion is hanging out, searching howler monkeys, trekking the Copper Canyon or scrambling over Mayan ruins Mexico’s colonial charms, verdant jungles and great inland lakes and mountains are sure to charm.
Endless white-sand beaches, impressive mountain ranges veined with spectacular rivers and saltwater lakes and waterfalls teeming with hordes of exotic wildlife are just part of the appeal of the Caribbean Islands. Whether you're looking to party, relax or explore, you’re sure to find it in the Islands, man.
