From the imposing Manhattan skyline and the colonial architectural gems of Cuba to the lush rainforests of Panama, North America is a land of glorious contrasts. The biggest countries, USA and Canada, are as diverse as their landscapes.
Travellers visting North America have a huge range of destinations to choose between. Colourful Mexico effortlessly blends old and new with its Mayan ruins and thriving modern cities. In the central part of the continent, Costa Rica has evolved into a prime eco-tourism destination, while Panama has some of the region’s best bird-watching and hiking opportunities.
The Caribbean islands within North America – Puerto Rico, Jamaica, the Bahamas, and Trinidad and Tobago – are a travellers’ paradise. Unspoilt beaches, coral reefs and world-class resorts define these laid-back towns and the most popular of all the islands, the Bahamas, draws millions of travellers to its islands each year
North America’s climate varies throughout the continent. The US and Canada have four distinct seasons while most of the other countries including Cuba and Mexico have two. On the other hand, the islands closer to the Caribbean Sea – Jamaica and the Bahamas – are year-round destinations.
Depending on the time of year you plan to visit North America and the purpose of your trip, the two biggest countries in the continent, America and Canada, both have diverse weather conditions. During winter the eastern part of the US gets considerably colder than the West Coast and in Canada the weather is bitterly cold throughout the country. The best time to visit both countries is late spring (April to May) and early autumn (September to early October).
Mexico and Panama have two seasons: dry and wet; the dry season lasts from mid-December until mid-April and the rainy season is from May to November. The Caribbean countries enjoy warm weather all year round with a few rainy spells in summer from May to November.
Considering the very large size of the countries and the affordable North American airfare, the best way to get around is by plane. Apart from cheap flights to North America from Canada, you’ll find plenty of internal flights to get around the continent as well as domestic flights within countries like the United States and Mexico. If you book flights to North America and also fly between the countries you wish to visit, it is often both faster and cheaper than traveling by land. If you’re traveling within a country and just short distances, you may be better off renting a vehicle and driving. Some countries like the United States or Costa Rica offer plenty of great road trip spots.
North America is a vast continent and has a variety of top attractions you’ll want to visit. For example, in the United States you won’t want to miss the iconic New York City skyscrapers, Hollywood in Los Angeles or a number of beautiful national parks spread across the country. Make your way to the Caribbean for some beach time at beautiful spots like the Seven Mile Beach in the Cayman Islands or Eagle Beach in Aruba.
