America – a subcontinent with many faces

Actually, America consists of two continents. From the north with the United States and Canada as well as the countries of Central America. And from the south, which is separated from the north by a kind of land bridge.

If you want to travel from the icy Cape Morris Jesup to the stormy Cape Horn, you have to go on the legendary “dream road of the world”, the Panamericana, and should take a lot of time for this tour.

America does not owe its name to its “discoverer” Christopher Columbus, but to an Italian named Amerigo Vespucci. He was the first European to travel to the delta of the Amazon and thus refuted the aforementioned Columbus and his thesis of America as part of India. The American subcontinent is completely different from north to south.

There are the regions of the gold diggers in Canada, the elemental force of Niagara Falls, the natural wonders of the national parks in the United States, the lively world metropolises of New York, Chicago and Los Angeles and in Mexico the legacies of extinct advanced civilizations. The countries of South America almost without exception suffered a colonial era, which also led to the fall of the Inca Empire.

After a round trip, many holidaymakers are drawn to the shores of the Caribbean and thus to wonderful beaches, all of which are suitable for unwinding.
