This time, it’s the Americas. There’s no getting around, getting around, in the words of Julian Cope. Still, no matter how enjoined to rail and other transport modes you are, cars are still it. It’s not a bad thing at all as long as we errant humans stop, look and listen to the environment. (Personally, we’re all about trains here at Matouring.) So, your editor’s lovely partner arrived from the library today with the Lonely Planet Road Trips in The Americas. Sounded like a smashing idea for a post, so here we are. To set the stage, The Americas could be anywhere, and that’s what makes this post fun. Buckle up and get ready to hit the road for 50 of the Americas’ greatest drives. Ranging in duration from a few hours to a week or more, each route is graded according to difficulty and features a first-hand account accompanied by awe-inspiring photographs, illustrated maps, practical information and suggestions for other similar road trips. You can buy the book if you’d like to look and book (ha ha) click here
