Americas

Adventure Travel

You can follow the heartbeat of North America through towering forests, undulating fields, high-plain deserts, pulsating metropolises and offbeat oases. This is a continent whose boundless menu of activities and sights allows you to calibrate your itinerary to whatever level of adventure you choose. Some of the highlight options include venturing on a Canadian heli-hiking wilderness trek, exploring the natural wonders of the American Southwest or Pacific Northwest, or thrilling at close encounters with whales in Baja California. Whatever your travel dreams, North America offers a kaleidoscope of cultures, cuisines, landscapes, history and adventures. Central and South America offer an equally dazzling spectrum of superb attractions: the dense Amazon rainforest, the jagged spires of the Andes Mountains, tropical beaches, towering waterfalls, the cloud forests of Costa Rica, the birds and animals of Belize, Ecuador’s Galapagos Islands, Argentina’s 22,834-foot Mount Aconcagua, Chile’s Class V Rio Futaleufu, Mayan ruins hidden in the jungles of Guatemala, Patagonia and Machu Picchu. The Americas – North, Central and South – present an endless variety of pulse-quickening, life-enriching things to see and do.
