The Americas, as we cover them, run from the Yukon to Tierra del Fuego — but our editorial center of gravity is the kind of trip that takes ten days and rewards three months of reading. Country and city guides lean toward depth: Peru’s Sacred Valley with the timing for the Q’eswachaka bridge festival, Mexico City’s market circuit that requires a guide and a fasting morning, Cuba’s Viñales tobacco route on horseback before the afternoon rain.
Our North American coverage takes the same approach. Canada is treated as the layered country it is, not the polite winter postcard travel media flattens it to. Toronto’s underground PATH culture, Montreal’s francophone late-night bar circuit, Vancouver’s Sunday morning Granville Island ritual, and the rail journey through the Rockies that everyone underestimates — all of it gets the same ink as Lima’s ceviche or Cartagena’s walled city.
Latin America gets the most pages because the trips reward the most planning. Pick a country guide for the through-line; pair it with the relevant city guides for the anchor stops.
