09 Apr 2024
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
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.
Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada, achieving oneness with nature
This part of Canada stays covered with snow in the winters, though in summer the temperatures are highly enjoyable. So, if you have always wanted to see lakes surrounded by mountains, which are covered with greenery, this will be the right destination for you. It will take you days to even cover a small part of this large national park. The flora and fauna will attract all sorts of enthusiasts. You can even keep your cameras ready to click photographs of the wildlife that you will find in abundance here. You can try the local cuisine in the Banff town and there are other towns too where you can set up your base. And don't forget to take excellent paintings as your souvenirs.
Cancun, Mexico, popular with beach lovers
This city is on the northeastern edge of Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula, next to the Caribbean Sea. Cancun was built keeping tourism in mind and most locals are dependent on tourism for their earnings. This means that everyone in Cancun will be ready to help you anytime you need it. Whether you come to swim, sunbathe or snorkel, all the options are ready and available for you. You can even go to explore the sea on large boats with meals & beverages served. You will be expecting a lot of seafood along with the local cuisine and you will not be disappointed.
Nassau, The Bahamas, a dreamy destination
Bahamas is a name synonymous with beach tourism across the world. These are a group of islands with a few large ones with the majority of the population. If you are coming here, Nassau is recommended to you, due to the infrastructure for tourism and the arrangements for it. It is close to Florida in the southeast USA, so you can even catch cruise ships from here to arrive at Nassau. Once you are here, the beaches will be ready for you. There are accommodations and restaurants close to them, so you can enjoy the sights while you rest or dine.
Havana, Cuba, time travel into the past
You will have heard of Cuban cigars which are famous with smokers around the world and you would have heard of Havana, the name made popular by movies and songs. This destination was off-limit to Americans a few years ago, though the two countries now have better relations. You will be able to see buildings from the Colonial era along with some forts. The architecture here is also different from what you are used to. You will also be able to see cars on the roads that are a few decades old. This city is a major seaport and there are some good beaches for tourists too.
Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, Costa Rica, too dense for anyone
If you have always wanted to spend some time in a jungle area, this destination will be ideal for you. You can spend as much time as you want to hiking through it. A GPS tracker is recommended so you don’t get lost in the middle of nowhere. This also means that more people will prefer coming in groups, though there can be some interested in adventure, who will dare to travel through this sparsely populated territory. Here you will get to see waterfalls that you may not have heard about and you may get to see some rare species of animals too.
