Where to Go When: The Americas

Where to Go When: The Americas is the ultimate inspirational and practical planner for a vacation in the Americas, highlighting the most spectacular destinations in North, Central, and South America, as well as the Caribbean, and the best times to visit them.
 
Written by a team of experts, with Joseph Rosendo, host of nationally syndicated PBS show Travelscope acting as Consultant Editor, this lush book combines informative narrative and gorgeous photography to bring more than 120 destinations to life. Six different vacation themes—Festivals & Culture, Unforgettable Journeys, Natural Wonders, Luxury & Romance, Active Adventures, and Family Getaways—ensure that there’s something for everybody, each month.
 
Explore the Baja Peninsula, cruise Alaska’s Inside Passage, or experience the vibrance of New York City. Marvel at the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, the Mayan ruins at Tikal in Guatemala, or the awesome Niagara Falls. Sample the wines of Argentina or California’s Napa Valley. For a musical vacation, you might check out the Chicago Blues Festival or dance the night away at Carnival in Trinidad. If it’s activity you want, consider white-water rafting in the Grand Canyon, horseback riding at the ranches of Uruguay, or heliskiing in the Canadian Rockies at Whistler. For a beach paradise, Where to Go When: The Americas will help you choose among the many islands of the Caribbean.
 
A simple month-by-month format and a full-color grid-referenced map section makes finding that ideal getaway easier than ever. Search by time of year, type of holiday, or simply flip through the pages and be inspired.
