List of US attractions
Short description
In winter, in one tour of the USA, you can combine New Year's Eve in New York in Times Square, relaxation on the white beaches of sunny Miami and a visit to Disneyland. The real exotic reigns in Hawaii.
New York
These islands are diverse in natural conditions, but they are all volcanic in origin, as evidenced by the dramatic landscapes of solidified lava flows and black beaches with volcanic sand. On the island of Hawaii, also known as the Big Island, tourists manage to swim in the ocean and go downhill skiing from the top of the extinct Mauna Kea volcano (4205 m) in one day. The Hawaiian island of Maui is ideal for windsurfing, while Oahu beckons with a vibrant nightlife. The USA is one of the world record holders for natural attractions.
It is here that the world's largest gorge, the Grand Canyon, and the largest karst landform, the Mammoth Cave on the Cumberland Plateau, are located. The hottest and driest point on the mainland - Death Valley - is inhabited by coyotes, bighorn sheep, desert fish and other animals that have adapted to the desert climate. Niagara Falls - the most powerful in North America - attracts tourists with majestic views. The great lakes are home to gigantic reserves of fresh water and fish.
Mount Rushmore
The Mississippi River flows through 10 American states, in the lower reaches of which crocodiles are found. Among the natural wonders of the United States, Yellowstone Park, with geysers and hot springs, and the Sequoia Reserve, where the greatest trees on Earth grow (up to 95 meters high), also stand out..
Historical landmarks of the USA
Just 400 years ago, in what is now the United States, there was nothing but wild forests, mountains and deserts inhabited by Indian tribes. They did not know the wheels and moved on foot or by canoe on the water. The rock carvings of the Hopi Indians in Arizona and the cave dwellings of the Anasazi tribes in Colorado are still preserved. For tourists, excursions to the Indian village are organized, where they will get acquainted with the life and culture of the indigenous population of America. The first colonies in the United States were founded in the 1620s by English Puritans who were hiding from religious persecution in Europe. In New England, there are many monuments associated with the settlement of the country by Europeans. Old Boston, Connecticut's farms and Vermont's green villages are considered the cradle of the nation.
Monument Valley
New England greets travelers with old wooden mansions and churches crowned with white spiers, vast parks and world-famous universities such as Harvard, Yale University, and others. Huge metropolitan areas have grown up in the vicinity of endless villages in the United States - New York, Chicago and Los Angeles , which has received worldwide fame, first of all, thanks to Hollywood and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Las Vegas has earned a reputation as a "city of casinos". Washington, the capital of the United States, houses the Capitol, the White House (the official residence of the American president), and memorials to the presidents of Washington and Lincoln.
