Canada also has rugged coastlines lined with evergreen trees in British Columbia and glacial lakes found in Jasper and Banff National Parks. If you’re a lover of the great outdoors, trekking through the landscapes of North America is unbeatable.
  • History: Although new compared to other regions of the world, North America is still rich in history that dates far beyond the founding of America and Canada. In areas like Alaska, you can learn about indigenous tribes and their cultural practices and traditions, while areas like New Mexico and Arizona are known for being home to well-preserved dinosaur bones and fossils. Through North America, you can also take walking tours of historic cities like Quebec, Victoria, San Francisco, San Antonio, Boston and much more, each offering a glimpse into the past and their influence on the future.
  • Accessibility: For many travelers living in the United States, North America tours can take place right in your backyard. As a country with some of the most diverse terrain in the world, from the Redwood forests in California to the sand dunes in Colorado and mountains in Montana, getting to these areas often doesn’t require extensive travel or paperwork to fulfill visa and passport requirements.
