Amazing adventures in the New World

Explorers young and old have flocked to the Americas since 40,000 BC (give or take a few millennia). Why? Just look around! The American Cordillera – the mountain chain that includes both the Rockies and the Andes – provides a dazzling alpine playground, while the forests, canyons, and deserts teem with exotic life. Toss in centuries of amazing history and a staggering diversity of cultures and you’ll see why the New World never, ever gets old.
