North & central america
A region of striking contrasts, North and Central America offer everything from gravel backroads and turquoise coastlines to untapped jungle and remote dive-bars. Whether you’re jetting across open ocean toward Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula, diving sun-filtered swimthroughs off of Roatan, Honduras, or winding your way along the forgotten stretches of Route 66 and Big Bend National Park, there’s always something in the nothingness.
With 10 countries each offering vastly different landscapes and cultures, North and Central America is ideal for untamed travel. In 2026, North America will take center stage as it hosts the FIFA World Cup across Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. More than a global sporting event, it’s an incredible opportunity to explore beyond the stadiums. Whether you’re based in Dallas (a host city with world-class food and easy access to the Texas Hill Country), catching a match in Mexico City, or road-tripping across America between games, you can discover some of the region’s most authentic and underrated gems along the way. With Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) airport a major global hub, the World Cup offers a unique opportunity to venture across the continent and its sub-regions with just a short connecting flight.
