North America or North America corresponds to the northernmost part of the American continent. Colonized from the 16th century by the British, Spanish, and French, North America largely inherited the original colonizers with the waves of immigrants that arrived from the mid-19th century. Because of its size, the subcontinent encompasses an enormous variety of landscapes, from the dismembered islands of the Arctic to the arid lands of the Sonoran desert and the abundant vegetation of the ancient territories inhabited by the Mayans.
It is made up almost entirely of three countries: Canada, the United States Y Mexico. Each one represents a different reality and it is difficult to think about the size of diversity between countries so close. Due to its great distances, each country is a different world, with cultural visions that can be totally opposite only kilometers away. The territories dependent on Greenland, the largest island in the world, and the small Bermuda Y Saint Pierre and Miquelon they complete the political division of the subcontinent.

Regions
| Canada | |
 | Located on the northern tip of the continent, Canada is famous for its vast wilderness that stretches from the central grasslands of the continent to rugged mountains and the frosty islands of the Arctic. Although the British heritage is still breathed in the East, it is multiculturalism that characterizes this country; while the French legacy endures in Quebec and thousands of immigrants have transformed Toronto Y Vancouver in cosmopolitan cities. |
| United States | |
 | With a culturally diverse population and a territory that extends to Polynesia, the Caribbean, and the Arctic, the United States is one of the world's leading tourist destinations. While the lights of the skyscrapers dazzle every day millions of tourists who visit New York or Chicago, others take advantage of unique natural landscapes such as Colorado's canyon or the yellowstone park. Meanwhile, the coasts of California, Florida Y Hawaii they receive millions of tourists to enjoy their beaches and entertainment centers. |
| Mexico | |
 | Born from the mixture of Native American traditions and Spanish culture, Mexico is today home to a rich and varied culture, as well as a natural diversity. Mexico City, the largest city in the Western Hemisphere, features a mix of Aztec ruins, colonial buildings, and cosmopolitan life. While on the Atlantic coast there are world-famous resorts such as Cancun or Carmen beach, in the south of the country are monumental pre-Columbian ruins such as Chichen Itza. |
| Greenland | |
 | The largest island in the world, Greenland is surrounded by the Atlantic and Glacial Arctic oceans. This semi-independent territory, under Danish tutelage, is covered almost entirely by ice, which gives the opportunity to appreciate some beautiful polar landscapes and native animals such as bears, reindeer and whales, in addition to knowing a culture that has persisted for centuries under harsh conditions. climatic and geographic. |
| Atlantic Territories | |
 | Bermuda San Pedro and MiguelónTwo small dependent territories lie on the Atlantic. Bermuda It is a small archipelago under British administration, popular for its beautiful beaches that receive millions of visitors each year. The French territory of Saint Pierre and MiquelonOn the contrary, it is a secluded destination, with few inhabitants dedicated mainly to fishing. |

Tourist attractions
Among the tourist attractions are the cities in the following section where the places to go will appear
Cities
There are many cities in North America that have a lot of diversity, although there are few countries that exist in this region, each one stands out for its culture; dependencies still show different types of diversity in this region. United States The most populous country in North America and one of the 5 most populous in the world, most of its main cities are based on being very futuristic, although in the southern regions they are based on a Country style. Mexico the second most populous country in North America and one of the 15 most populated in the world, its cities are based mainly on three types of forms, the center is rather colonial and baroque, the north is being rancheras and those of the south are based on being more than coastal forms.

Culture
Regarding its culture, there are two large sectors that can be differentiated by their geographical location. So the southern part of the continent preserves some of the characteristics of extinct indigenous groups (Mayas and Aztecs) and have customs that are in accordance with what the natives believed. Apart from the fact that the southern area was a Spanish colony and currently belongs to the Latin American sector
While in the north of this continent not only is another language spoken (Anglo-Saxon), but also customs tend to imitate (although with great differences) those of Europe (from Western Europe). And Anglo-Saxon America is considered to be part of the Western world. In addition, the ancient Indians lived in tribes and hordes without reaching cultural development.
Sport
The sport in North America has a great development both at amateur and professional level. National sports are ice hockey and lacrosse. Other professional sports with great popularity are basketball, Canadian soccer, American football, baseball, taekwondo (national in Mexico), while at the amateur level curling and alpine skiing are also practiced. It stands out for its achievements in international tournaments, the attractiveness of its national tournaments, the technological and scientific development of sport, the commercialization and dissemination of professional sports, and its role in the creation and management of various disciplines.
The main national leagues are the National Football League (American football), Major League Baseball (baseball), the National Basketball Association (basketball), Major League Soccer (football), the National Women's Soccer League (women's football) and the National Hockey League (ice hockey). The National Collegiate Athletic Association football and college basketball championships are also very popular.
Regarding individual sports, the most popular professional championships in the United States are the PGA Tour and LPGA Tour (golf), the NASCAR Cup and the IndyCar Series (motorsport) and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (mixed martial arts).
The United States has hosted four Summer Olympics, four Winter Olympics, the 1959 and 1987 Pan American Games, the 1994 Soccer World Cup, the 1999 and 2003 Women's Soccer World Cup, and the United States Basketball World Cup. 2002.
The Ministry of Public Education includes the teaching of physical education in the schools under its charge, as do the state bodies in charge of instruction. In Mexico, organized sport is not a common activity in the population.
Figure skating and ice hockey are sports practiced by wealthy Mexican youth, and it shows constant growth. Other sports that are very popular in Mexico are volleyball, which is practiced as one of the basic sports at the school level, as well as American football, practiced in an organized way in various leagues that are members of the National Student Soccer Organization.
Travel
To get
If you are a citizen of the countries of the Schengen Area, Japan, United Kingdom, Chile, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand; You could travel to North American countries without a visa. On the other hand, if you do not have visa elimination treaties, it is obvious that you will go to the embassies to process the visa before your arrival.
By plane
You can reach major cities in the US and Canada by direct flights from all other inhabited continents. Latin American carriers fly directly between Central and South America and from Europe you can fly directly to many of the Caribbean islands. The cheapest flights and most destinations will be to the United States. Of the 15 largest airports in North America, only one is not in the United States, Toronto-Pearson. If you do not want to travel through the US to reach your destination, services are offered to major airports such as Mexico City, Panama City, and Punta Cana from major European and South American hubs. Flying is the fastest and cheapest way to get to North America.
Boat
It is possible to travel across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by cargo or cruise ship, but these cruises tend to be quite expensive compared to flying (and infrequent). There are ferries from the northern edge of South America to Central America and the Caribbean. However, there is still an old-style ocean liner connecting New York City to Southampton, UK. So if you have the time and money and want to arrive in style just like the old days, it can certainly be done.
On land
Even if the Americas are physically connected, there are no roads or railroads between Panama and Colombia. It is possible but hopelessly dangerous to walk through the 100 km of jungle at Darien Gap; if you want to take your vehicle with you, you must take the ferry
Travel
By plane
Because population centers are often widely separated, most long-haul travel is by air, with an extensive network of major hubs and smaller regional airports, generally complemented by car rental services to cover local travel. when you arrive at your destination (see "By car"). The cheapest fares are between major cities, so you may have to drive a few hours at each end of the journey to get to and from the airports.
By bus
There is a prolific long-range bus service in most of the US and Canada, but travel times are excessively long (often substantially longer than a direct trip in a personal vehicle) and stations tend to be poorly maintained and even more poorly insured. Intercity buses generally travel only between major cities, never to remote locations, and are limited or unavailable outside of business hours.
In Mexico, by contrast, bus service is extensive and a common way to get around. In Central America, buses are the backbone of local transportation, as car ownership remains low and domestic flights and railways have only a niche role, if any. If you want to meet the locals, hop on a chicken bus and enjoy the bumpy ride.
The following companies operate buses extensively in North America:
- Greyhound Canada, toll free: 1800 661-8747 (Canada). Greyhound Canada connects Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto, with international connections through Buffalo and New York City. International service connecting to Greyhound USA is also available in Vancouver. It is a subsidiary brand of First Group Plc in the UK and partnered with Greyhound Lines in the US (Updated October 2018 | edit)
- Greyhound Lines, 1 1 214 849-8966. Greyhound serves more than 3,800 locations throughout the US and cross-border services from the US to Canada and Mexico. It also operates the Bolt Bus (NW Pacific, California, and the northeastern part of the US); Valley Transit Co (southeast Texas) and USA cruises (California and Arizona in the US and Baja California Norte and Sonora in Mexico) brands in different parts of the US Most cities have Greyhound service, but only 1 or 2 trips per day. (Updated October 2015 | edit)
- Megabus(Coach USA). In addition to having its own distinctive buses, Megabus absorbs Coach USA and Coach Canada buses and renames them "Megabus." Megabus operates in Canada, primarily southern Ontario. Megabus is a popular brand in Great Britain and North America. It operates under different brands for intercity services, commuter, airport transfers, university transfers and charter services in different locations in the US (updated October 2015 | edit)
- White Star Group(White Star), 52 52 55 5729-0807, toll free: 01800-507-5500 (Mexico). It also operates Elite, TNS (Transportes Norte de Sonora), Chihuahuanese, Peaceful,East, TF (Border Transportation), White Star, Connection, Rapids of Cuauhtémoc Y Guadiana Valley in Mexico and American Bus as a joint venture with Greyhound Lines for cross-border travel between the United States and Mexico.

Sell tickets to travel to the United States from the border with Greyhound (and vice versa). (updated November 2017 | edit)
- Senda Group. It competes with the above that serves the states of Aguascaliente, Colima, Coahuila, Chihuahua, Durango, Guerrero, Jalisco, Michocoan, Nuevo León, Querétaro, San Luis Potosí, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas and Zacatecas in Mexico and in the United States. From the border, it serves the southeastern and central US states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. It also operates the bus lines Turimex, (in the US) and From North.
- ADO(Buses from the East), 52 52 55 5133-5133, toll free: 01800-009-9090. Operates the bus lines ADO, ADO GL, AU (United Bus), OCC (Omnibus Cristóbal Colón) Y Platinum, and the reservation site Boletotal / Ticketbus.com in Mexico. It is an important bus company that serves the eastern and southeastern part of the country to the Guatemalan border in the states of Guerrero, Oaxaca, Puebla, Veracruz, Chiapas, Tamaulipas, Tabasco and the Yucatán peninsula (Yucatán, Quintana Roo and Campeche) . Offers a once-a-day trip to / from Belize City via Chetumal from Cancun and Mérida and a connecting service with Tica Bus, Trans Greyhounds Y King Quality in Tapachula to continue to / from Central America. Edit
- Tica Bus. Tica Bus is the main bus line that serves the main cities throughout Central America, except Belize, from Tapachula to Panama City, Panama.
Between these main bus lines it is possible to travel by bus through and between the three largest countries in North America and seven smallest in Central America. In addition to the above, there are many other local driver companies and unions (most in Mexico and Central America) that operate buses locally, regionally, or even over longer distances. See "By Bus" in the article for a particular country, state / province, region or locality for more information. Most locations from small towns to large cities have bus service within a neighboring town or towns. The quality of the service varies, but how late and often it runs roughly corresponds to the size of the city.
By car
Most trips in Canada, the United States, and Mexico are by personal vehicle. Almost all highways in Canada and the United States are well-maintained, with services like gas, food, and lodging ranging from adequate to very convenient. If you experience an emergency that endangers your life, safety or property, you can dial 911 from a compatible cell phone on almost any major highway and reach an operator at any time. Vehicle and medical insurance issued in Canada or the US is generally valid in the other, although the smart traveler will confirm this with their insurer. Canadian and US insurance coverage in Mexico is sometimes limited or not enforced. Again, the wise traveler will confirm with their insurer.
Car rental agencies are available at almost all airports. Typically, a valid driver's license and a credit card or cash deposit are required. Rentals are sometimes restricted to drivers under the age of 25. Many agencies offer short-term insurance and additional coverage.
In much of western Alaska and most of Greenland, no major highway connects towns and cities. If highways exist, they generally do not have the same standards as highways in the rest of North America.
By train
Although it once held much of the continent together, and remains useful for local travel in many metropolitan areas, intercity train travel now ranges from relatively convenient in the Northeast Corridor, to manageable in California, around Chicago, and parts of the Southeast. from Canada, to be scarce in other parts of the continent If you prefer to travel by train, it is still possible (depending on where you go), but it is slower and sometimes more expensive than air travel for long distances.
Among the most frequently served areas is the US Northeast Corridor, linking Washington, D.C. to Boston with frequent stops in intermediate cities such as Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, New Haven and Providence. There is at least one hourly service in this corridor from 4 a.m. at 1 a.m. In Canada, the heavily populated Windsor-Quebec corridor has several daily trains that compare favorably in speed to highway travel, although the cost of putting a passenger on the train often exceeds that of the intercity bus or fuel. for traveling by car.
In off-the-beaten-path communities, rails have often simply been removed and previous rights-of-way used as bicycles, snowmobiles, or nature trails. There are no railroads left on Prince Edward Island or Newfoundland Island.
Most private intercity rail carriers have abandoned passenger service as unprofitable, leaving de facto federally owned entities such as Amtrak (in the US) and VIA Rail (in Canada) to operate the remaining services. . Short commuter trains are often operated regionally or municipally in the US, Canada, and Mexico. See Train Travel in Canada and Train Travel in the United States. Compared to Europe and East Asia, the speed is low and the frequencies are scarce, but the views and comfort can make up for it. In fact, on the spectacular routes some trains traverse in North America, the journey becomes the destination. High-speed rail is in its infancy, and only the northeast corridor from Boston to Washington, DC qualifies even for a generous definition, but several projects are planned or under construction across the United States.
In Mexico and Central America, passenger trains are nominal at best (like the Chihuahua al Pacifico line through the Copper Canyon) and non-existent at worst (in most places). However, there are some tourist trains, and several Central American countries, as well as Mexico, have actively considered the possibility of building a new freight or passenger rail line. Economic developments and, in the case of Mexico, a sharp drop in oil prices have at least postponed these plans for now, so don't hold your breath.
Boat
In seas
The cruise industry is a big industry in some parts of North America, and cruises to places like Bermuda and the West Indies are readily available, as they are to parts of Mexico. Cruises are offered as tours, and if your journey begins or ends at a port in the United States, you generally must embark or disembark in the same port or in a different country at the other end of the cruise. (This is due to cabotage laws). The exception is if the line is US owned and staffed, using US-built ships. (Most cruise lines are multinational operations.) In general, cruise ships stop at a certain port for only a few hours, so this method of travel can be inconvenient for people who want to stay longer in a port. Some locations, such as Washington, Alaska, San Francisco, New York City, and Boston, have ferry service, allowing trips to various locations in or near them.
In continental waters
North America contains a large number of large bodies of fresh water, be it the Great Lakes between Canada and the United States or the various rivers that run through the continent and most of them are used extensively to transport goods and people. Sailing in small boats is certainly an option in the US, as it is the country with the longest waterways in the world. Similarly, Canada offers a host of options for small boat owners or renters. In the less developed corners of Central America, some places are or were accessible only by boat or the waterway is still one of the most comfortable and fastest ways to get there. Ometepe on Lake Nicaragua, for example, only got one airport in 2014, but given the flight times and the view from the boat, most will still want to get to the water. The deepest places in the jungle or off the beaten path are best accessed by boat and some ferries (for example, between El Salvador and Nicaragua or between Honduras and Belize) will save you an indirect route overland.
Walking
If you are in a big city, like New York, walking might be the best way to get around due to the high amount of traffic that many big cities have. There are many sidewalks and trails to navigate less populated areas. For dedicated long-distance hikers, the Continental Divide Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail are America's national scenic trails that run thousands of miles between Mexico and Canada through some of the most mountainous and rugged areas in North America.
By public transport
While cities like Managua are a traffic nightmare and buses are not as fast or comfortable (they are cheap, however), others like Panama City have built modern subways in the 21st century that are very popular with tourists and locals. . Almost all self-respecting cities of a certain size in Canada and the US have some form of subway or light rail to get around at least downtown. Mexico City has the second largest passenger subway in America (after New York City). Many cities were built with cars in mind and outside of the city center, you may be lucky if a bus arrives once an hour on weekdays, even in places as big as Dallas. Navigating the United States without a car is a particular challenge, though doable with advance planning and careful choice of destinations.
Cycling
While there is almost no traditional "bike culture" in most places (ie outside of recreational cycling), there are new "bike share" programs in many cities in the United States, as well as in the City. from Mexico and Canada. While they primarily target locals, travelers can usually sign up as well (as long as they have a credit card and / or passport). In more rural regions with a tradition of recreational cycling, you may well get traditional bike rentals by the day or by the week. Some cities have an emerging cycling culture and joining a "critical mass" ride is a good way to meet the locals and get in touch with the local cycling scene. Cycling is certainly on the rise in many cities on the continent, but even the most bike-friendly places like Portland, Oregon, are a long way from Copenhagen or Amsterdam in terms of cycling culture.
Travel recommendations
Security
Police and other emergency services are widely available almost anywhere in the United States and Canada, as well as in most areas of Mexico, and generally have quick response times. In the United States, Canada, and Mexico, police and other first responders can be summoned in an emergency by dialing 9-1-1 on a compatible phone. Security varies greatly from location to location, so please refer to the appropriate region of interest article. Like anywhere, remember to practice good common sense safety procedures and you should be fine.
Most places in North America are occasionally affected by bad weather. Since mountain ranges run from north to south, storms can bring dramatic changes in temperature. Cold weather is a seasonal concern in parts of the continent; See winter in North America.
LGBT tourists
The homosexuality in North America It is not penalized anywhere and in territories such as Canada (since 2005) and the United States (since 2015), homosexual marriage is legal throughout the national territory, which does not imply a favorable view of it in all places, since the homophobia continues to be important in some sectors of the various societies of the continent.
In particular, Mexico and the United States fight for the position as the least tolerant country with the LGBT community in the region, which does not imply that various places in these countries are considered among the most tolerant in the American continent, especially in progressive and liberal states. of the North and other latitudes of the USA, while at the same time there are those that are considered the most intolerant of North America, being the conservative and religious states of the South the largest representatives of discrimination against homosexuals, with thirteen of they as the last administrative entities in the region to repeal their sodomy laws by the United States Supreme Court in 2003.
However, the high levels of development and cultural change show a marked trend towards the acceptance of homosexuality that continues to develop in the three countries of the subcontinent, this subject being the subject of debate on a social, political and religious level.
In most of the dependent territories neither does homosesuality. it is penalized
Health
The Health in Mexico It is in charge of various institutions such as the Ministry of Health that serves the private sector, while the Mexican Institute of Social Security provides health services to employees in the private sector, while the Institute of Social Security and Services of the State workers attend to social and health care needs of those employed by the State, as well as the Secretariat of National Defense has its own system of attention to its personnel, as well as Pemex also has its own system Of health, the population that does not have affiliation to the previous ones can count on the Popular Insurance, for the year 2002 there were more than 3,000 private hospitals. Many of these health centers are affiliated with the Mexican Institute of Social Security, IMSS; el Instituto de Seguridad Social al Servicio de los Trabajadores del Estado, ISSSTE; la Secretaria de Salud; Cruz Roja; Medica Sur; Petróleos Mexicanos, PEMEX;.
En Estados Unidos, la salud es más un negocio que un derecho porque hay estadounidenses que pagan cuantiosas sumas de dinero por adquirir estos servicios como un tratamiento o la compra de medicinas. El problema es que muchos estadounidenses se encuentran excluidos y desafiliados en el sistema de salud. Incluso afecta tanto a residentes estadounidenses como a extranjeros
A diferencia de su vecino Canadá, que sí dispone de sistemas gratuitos de salud, no obstante, el derecho a la gratuidad sanitaria es exclusivamente para residentes canadienses, que cumplan los parámetros de un trabajo estable, mas no para turistas, ni residentes temporales, ni inmigrantes irregulares. Es obvio que los extranjeros no gozan de tal derecho. Por ende, si aún se cubre por el sistema público de sanidad en Canadá, es muy recomendable contratar un seguro de salud para la estancia en el país (en algunos casos concretos, como en el visado de Working Holiday, es incluso obligatorio), para estar protegidos ante cualquier problema médico que pudiera surgir.
El agua del grifo generalmente es segura para beber en Canadá y Estados Unidos.
Si bien apenas está presente en perros en los EE. UU., La rabia es una preocupación cuando se muerde en América Central o un murciélago en los EE. UU. Como la rabia es casi siempre mortal una vez que se muestran los síntomas (solo hay un caso de rabia sintomática sobrevivida por un humano documentado en el registro médico), vacúnese contra la rabia antes de salir y acudir a un médico lo antes posible si es mordido .
Las enfermedades tropicales como el dengue and the malaria son endémicas en gran parte de América Central, especialmente en las zonas rurales y el lado del Caribe. Si desea ir a Panamá, necesitará un certificado de vacunación contra la fiebre amarilla.
The virus del Zika se ha extendido por gran parte de América Central, pero es aconsejable consultar los avisos oficiales del gobierno y las guías individuales de cada país en Wikivoyage antes de ir, ya que la situación puede variar drásticamente entre países. El zika es particularmente peligroso para los no nacidos y, por lo tanto, las mujeres embarazadas pueden querer posponer el viaje a las áreas afectadas.
Desastres naturales
Hay que tomar en cuenta de que América del Norte es azotada por huracanes, inundaciones, tsunamis y terremotos. Muchos de ellos han acontecido a inicios de la década del 2010. También no se puede ignorar sobre los incendios forestales, que se dan en los últimos años, debido al cambio climático, que ocasiona la extinción de la flora y la fauna en el Subcontinente. Incluyendo la pérdida de vidas de los turistas y viajeros.
Estados Unidos es muy famoso por su oleada de huracanes y tornados, que a través de su historia ha sufrido tales calamidades e inclemencias.
