Across the Americas

About this journey

North and South America together reach from the Arctic almost to Antarctica. This journey follows them from top to bottom in thirty-eight puzzles, from the snowy peak of Denali in Alaska to the stone giants of Easter Island in the middle of the Pacific.

After Alaska the road turns to the northern lights over Yellowknife, then to Vancouver and the Canadian Rockies, with Banff and Spirit Island in Jasper, before Yellowstone, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Grand Canyon. Then it heads east to Niagara Falls, the CN Tower in Toronto, Parliament Hill in Ottawa, the old walls of Quebec City and the lighthouse of Peggy’s Cove in Nova Scotia, and down the coast to Manhattan and the Capitol in Washington. From the classic cars of Havana it heads south through Mexico City, the Maya pyramid of Chichen Itza, the turquoise sea at Cancún and the temples of Tikal, and on to the walled port of Cartagena, then to Angel Falls in Venezuela, the tallest waterfall on Earth, the wax palms of Colombia’s Cocora Valley and the Galápagos Islands.

In the Andes come Cusco, Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain and the reed boats of Lake Titicaca, the great salt flat of Uyuni and the Valley of the Moon in the Atacama Desert. Then it’s Rio de Janeiro, the Iguazu Falls, the old lanes of Colonia del Sacramento in Uruguay and Buenos Aires. The last stretch crosses Patagonia, past the Perito Moreno Glacier and the peaks of Torres del Paine, to the lighthouse at the end of the world near Ushuaia, before a final leap across the ocean. Each stop you finish unlocks the next, and every country goes into your travel passport.
