United States

Often presented as an El Dorado, the United States is above all one of the most diverse countries on the planet. In addition to the country's rich mix of cultures, it's the variety of its landscapes and climates that will leave visitors breathless. From the deserts of the West to the snowy valleys of the Northeast, from the vineyards of California to the vastness of the Middle West, from the unique geological formations of the Rockies to the swamps and white-sand beaches of Florida, it's a land of the world that awaits you. And while national sentiment and patriotism are deeply rooted here, and Americans are proud of their success stories, prosperity and creativity, they are also reputed to be among the friendliest people in the world.
