North America is a vast continent, and despite the common belief that it consists of the large 3 countries, the USA, Canada, and Mexico, the fact is that it also includes some countries in Central America and the Caribbean. If you are considering summer holidays in this part of the world you will have a variety of destinations to consider. There are beaches along the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, there are more than a few mountain ranges to explore, river trails to walk along, and a few desert regions. There are numerous large cities to explore and there are smaller ones with greenery all around them.

Some suggestions

ready for travel

If you live in this part of the world, you will be considering domestic or regional destinations and if you are coming here from overseas, you will be making plans for what to do at international destinations. If you live in North America, you should find out if you will need a visa or not, as most countries here allow people from this continent on short trips to travel without a visa. As this is a large continent, you can expect different weather, with lower temperatures in the North and these get higher as you travel southwards. In some parts in the south of this continent, it rains in what you might call summer, so you will need to avoid these. Below we suggest some of the destinations on this continent that are highly recommended by those who have been there.
