Located in the Western and Northern Hemisphere encompassing over 9 million square miles (24 million + square kilometers), North America is the third-largest continent in the world. North America consists of twenty-three countries, as well as more than two dozen non-sovereign territories, including Bermuda, Aruba, the Cayman Islands, Greenland, and Puerto Rico. The primary language is English, followed by Spanish and French.

Although the Central American and the Caribbean regions are technically part of the North American continent, they are commonly listed separately from their larger neighbors to the north. Hence, the distinctive region names are for both cultural and geographical reasons. North America is also known for being the home of the country with the largest economy (USA), the world’s largest sugar exporter (Cuba), and the largest fresh water lake in the world, Lake Superior, to name a few of its noted possessions.

From the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon to the bustling streets of New York City, the diversity of North America is what makes it such an enchanting and unforgettable destination. So why not pack your bags and set out on an adventure to this captivating part of the world? With so much to discover and explore, you’re sure to make memories that will last a lifetime.
