Delectable Cuisine

With so many countries, each with its unique traditions and cuisines, you will experience different local cuisines in every city, let alone the country that you visit in North America. 

In the United States itself, each state is known for specific cuisines like Texan Barbecue, New York pizza, Georgian soul food, and more. 

Mexican food is loved all over the world, and naturally, the best and most authentic of this will be found in the heart of Mexico. Tucking into a Caribbean feast on a tropical island is one of our top North American food experiences. 

Diverse Cultures 

The cultures in the various North American countries are vastly different from one another, so you can immerse yourself in a completely new atmosphere in each place. 

Not only can you try an array of different foods, but you will also experience different music, customs, habits, clothing, architecture, and more.

United States

A country with many different states, each with its own unique culture and landscape, the United States is a country you want to explore in its entirety to fully experience the various regions. 

You can enjoy the big cosmopolitan city life in places like New York, Chicago, Houston, and more, or opt for smaller, charming cities like Savannah, Boston, Key West, and more. For a more laid-back, coastal atmosphere, California and Miami are our top picks. 

Mexico

A place with culture, vibrancy, and beauty, Mexico is the third largest country in North America and a phenomenal destination for any traveler. 

Beach regions like Tulum and Cabo San Lucas are popular for their luxury resorts and pristine beaches. To be in the heart of Mexican culture, we think Mexico City and Oaxaca are ideal places to start.

Puerto Rico

A stunning island in the Caribbean, Puerto Rico is a country with amazing beaches, charming architecture, and vibrant culture. 

The capital of San Juan is one of our favorite spots, as it offers the balance of city and beach holidays. If you are looking for a second beach spot, we suggest Carolina. 

Canada

The largest country in North America, Canada is filled with modern cities and some of the most breathtaking natural landscapes in the world. 

Big cities like Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver are perfect for enjoying the more metropolitan side of the country. To escape to nature, there is Banff, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, and many more regions to explore.
