A–Z America is an independent travel publication covering the Americas. We write practical guides for people who plan their own trips: which regions are worth the detour, how to string them together by car, bus or train, what to eat when you get there, and the history and Indigenous cultures that explain what you are looking at. We are not affiliated with any tourism board, airline, tour operator or hotel group.
What we cover
- Destination Guides: where to go and how to see it well, region by region.
- Food & Regional Cuisine: the regional dishes worth seeking out and where to find them.
- History & Indigenous Cultures: the history and Indigenous cultures behind the places you visit.
- Road Trips & Overland Travel: driving routes, overland itineraries and how to pace them.
- Travel Planning & Logistics: seasons, transport, timing and the planning that holds a trip together.
Who it is for
Independent travellers in the United States and Canada planning trips anywhere from the Yukon to Tierra del Fuego: first-timers who want a clear plan, road-trippers looking for routes beyond the obvious, and repeat visitors who want to understand a place rather than just see it.
How we research and write
Guides are built from official sources (national and provincial park services, transport operators, tourism authorities and government travel pages) together with regional histories, museum and cultural-centre publications, and long-form reporting. Each article links the sources it relies on, and every external link is checked before publishing. Where seasons, routes or rules vary, we say so rather than pretending one answer fits every trip.
We are not paid by manufacturers, schools, software makers or shops to cover them, and we do not publish sponsored articles. If a product is mentioned, it is because it is what the task actually calls for.
Corrections
