North America

North America is a continent of unapologetic extremes. An immense, sprawling canvas that stretches from the frozen, thundering ice of Canada's Northwest Passage to the sun-kissed tropical breaks of the Mexican Caribbean.

In Canada, we trace a vast and storied land that moves from the cosmopolitan energy of Toronto and the mist-hung peaks of the Canadian Rockies to the raw, unhurried wilderness of the far north. Head down the West Coast and California delivers the ultimate American road trip: cycling across San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, losing yourself in the sun-dappled vineyards of Napa Valley, whale spotting along the Pacific coast, and hiking beneath the towering ancient giants of Yosemite and Sequoia.

On the other side of the continent, New York needs no introduction but rewards every return visit with something new.

Across the country, the rhythm shifts entirely. Miami emerges as a shimmering riot of colour, contrasting the sorbet-hued Art Deco architecture of South Beach and the bold murals of Wynwood with the primordial, tranquil ecosystem of the Everglades where enormous alligators bask in the midday sun.

Further south, the continent unearths its ancient soul. We dive deep into the mystical Mayan heritage of Mexico, from the monumental majesty of Chichen Itza to the breezy, bohemian clifftop ruins of Tulum. And cast entirely adrift in the Pacific, the wildly beautiful, emerald-hued islands of Hawaii offer a heady standalone paradise of blissful beaches, millennia-old volcanoes, and thundering waterfalls.
