There is more than one place called America ! There is Central America, Latin America, North America, South America and the world famous United States of America.

Central America It's the thin section of land that links the North American continent with the South American continent and is made up of seven small, mostly tropical countries that have much more in common with South America and Mexico than the more affluent north. There is a diversity of culture from one end of Central America to the other, and indigenous culture plays an important role in the region. Due to the extensive Spanish colonial presence in the region, American dialects of Spanish are the primary language. This region ia a great yet undiscovered and affordable treasure which is worth visiting. Some unmissable places to visit are The Cloud Forests of Panama in Boquete, Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, Ancient Mayan ruins, National Natural Parks in Costa Rica, Volcanoes and Semuc Champey and the Lanquin caves in the Alta Verapaz District of Guatemala. |
| North America North America consists of three large nations and one large island territory that covers most of its area. They are Canada, the United States of America (USA), Mexico and Greenland. There are also around two dozen island nations and territories of various sizes in the Caribbean. Some of the best Scenic areas in North America include Caribbean and Yellowstone National Park. The islands of the Caribbean Sea or West Indies have long been known as a resort vacation destination for honeymooners and retirees, but a small movement toward eco-tourism and backpacking has started to open up the Caribbean to more independent travel. With year-round good weather and hundreds of islands to explore, the Caribbean offers something for almost everyone. Yellowstone National Park is a United States National Park, a World Heritage Site and it was the world's first national park, set aside in 1872 to protect the incredible wildlife and rugged beauty of the area. The park is principally contained within the northwest corner of Wyoming, but also extends into the states of Idaho and Montana. Yellowstone is world-famous for its natural heritage and beauty - and for the fact that it holds half the world's geothermal features, with more than 10,000 examples. Travelers to Yellowstone can view more than 300 geysers (such as "Old Faithful"), pools of boiling mud, and an amazing assemblage of wildlife, such as grizzly bears, wolves, bison and elk, all while standing on the surface of the Earth's largest known "super-volcano". |
