From East to West and North to South, America is a melting pot of experiences and wonders, both natural and man made. The scope of its history, culture, cuisine and natural beauty is truly awesome, and even if you travelled your whole life you’d never run out of new things to see and do.

Way out westFrom the great gold rush of the 1800s to the rise of the Flower Power counter culture, America’s west has always been a beacon of hope and prosperity. The landscape itself is a rich tapestry of show-stopping natural wonders, with the Grand Canyon and Yosemite National Park taking centre stage.

Then there’s the cities. Between surreal Las Vegas, hip San Francisco and star-studded Los Angeles, music, art and gastronomy combine. Historic yet progressive, you can delve into the past while seeing

burgeoning movements and emerging cultural trends in full swing.

American anthemsIn the United States, the North-South divide is more than historical, or geographical, it is also spiritual and psychological. Get to see how both halves live, navigating your way from historic cities like New York and Washington D.C. to the down-home southern charms of Charleston, South Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia. It wouldn’t be a trip to the Big Apple without sitting down to watch a Broadway production, and a visit to an Amish Farm in Lancaster unveils a totally different side to the States, completely separated from the modern world. The further south you travel, giant cityscapes begin to thin out, making way for rolling hills, homely cooking and celebrated hospitality.

Four million miles of highways, six time zones and innumerable cities of endless variety and interest — it’s simply impossible to grow tired of America. Take to the rolling asphalt and experience the romanticism of the road, with iconic cities and sights providing a blockbuster backdrop.

There’s something about Canada that appeals to the adventurer in us all. Whether you’ve been entranced by tales of grizzly bears or Anne of Green Gables, or been awed by images of immense mountains, crystalline lakes and log cabins, you’re sure to be both surprised and delighted by what you find. Then there’s Alaska - one of the last frontiers. You can still believe that there are vast areas that have never felt the footfall of a human being, and places so remote that no one has even viewed them. It’s also a place where beauty reigns supreme, and where vast National Parks preside over eco-systems that are as spectacular as they are unique.The elegance of the EastFrom urbane Ottawa, the nation’s intriguing capital – a bilingual city, to beautiful Québec City, one of the oldest settlements in North America, with its European-style ‘old town’ and its renaissance-era ramparts, you’ll find Canada’s historic eastern side an unexpected treat. Embrace all the man-made and natural wonder on offer here, from

Canada is a land of uncommon splendour, a vast kaleidoscope of natural wonders spliced with cosmopolitan cities that are as inviting as they are enticing. Pair this with Alaska’s rare and remote beauty and you will soon discover a world of striking diversity that never fails to astound.

Between the vibrant houses of La Boca and the iconic beaches of Rio, to the rainbow of light that bounces off Iguazú Falls and the sunsets that cast warm hues over Cuzco, South America is a land of colour, but it doesn’t stop there. The clothes, cultures and cuisine are as vivacious as the people who make this region such an energetic hub of joy.

The pearls of Peru The history of Peru’s ancient Inca civilisation has left an extraordinary legacy behind. Music, arts and architecture each bare remnants of its influence. From the melting-pot cultures of Lima and rural

villages of the Sacred Valley to the ruins of Machu Picchu, the heartbeat of this lost culture lives on to this day.

Great rail journeys South America spans great distances, and the landscape in between its settled cities is often unpredictable and untamed. One of the best ways to travel this undulating country is by rail, and taking the scenic route unveils a new and untouchable world.

The glass-dome carriages of the Vistadome offer the perfect vantage point from which to marvel at the snow-capped Andes. Enjoying afternoon tea

on board may conflict against the raw mountain ranges that pepper the Sacred Valley, but this contradictory experience is something you won’t soon forget.

The Andean Explorer offers a different kind of rail experience. Exquisitely decorated in the manner of the great Pullman trains of the 1920s, your full day journey to Lake Titicaca is made all the more memorable by the open-air Observation Car, which puts you in touch with the magnificent landscape.

South America is a natural museum of wonders. While parts of this untamed land are left to nature’s unruly influence, others have exhibited an innovative charm to accommodate cities teeming with locals and travellers alike, but this continent’s diversity doesn’t end with geography.
