If you are thinking about traveling to the United States, today we will give you some tips on the 5 best tourist attractions to visit in the United States.
We are constantly bombarded with all the American movies, series and programs, so we have become accustomed to seeing beautiful places in the USA.
Therefore, visiting, getting to know or even living in the land of “Uncle San” has become a dream for many Brazilians.
So, we decided to make a list of some of the places we consider beautiful in the United States.
1 – Yosemite National Park.
One of the most famous places in the United States, Yosemite Park is located in the Sierra Nevada mountains, in the state of California.
Its fame comes from its sequoias, which are hundreds of years old and gigantic. It also has Tunnel View.
But we can't forget the beautiful waterfalls that exist in the park. In addition, the park has giant granite rocks. Yosemite is a paradise for those who enjoy contact with nature.
If this is one of the places you choose to visit, I recommend setting aside at least one day to explore Yosemite Valley.
Without a doubt, this is one of the best trails. From here, you can see Bridal Veil Waterfall, Yosemite Falls, Sentinel Beach, and several other natural attractions.
2 – Yellowstone National Park.
Discovered in 1807 by Lewis and Clark, Yellowstone Park is one of nature's most beautiful “constructions”.
This is a park that has its own spectacle. It has Geothermal Forces, or if you prefer, you could say that the park is located under a “supervolcano”.
Because of this, you will find a series of mountains, rivers, canyons and, best of all, geysers. In addition, there is a large fauna, full of animals throughout the park.
Yellowstone is perhaps the most visited park in the US. According to the latest figures, it receives approximately 3 million visitors per year, from all over the world.
Located at a point where it divides three states, Yellowstone is located northwest of the state of Wyoming, but extends into the states of Idaho and Montana. The park has about 9,000 square kilometers of territory.
3 – Mount Rushmore National Memorial.
Mount Rushmore can perhaps perfectly translate how Americans respect the four presidents who most contributed to the evolution of the United States.
The heads carved in the stones belong to:
- George Washington: In addition to being the first president of the United States, he was the man who united and led the nation during the revolution that brought independence from the British crown.
- Thomas Jefferson: He was the third president in the history of the United States. Furthermore, he played an important role in American independence, including being the author of the Declaration of Independence.
- Theodore Roosevelt: According to several historians and economists, Roosevelt was the president who most helped the country during its period of greatest development, at the beginning of the 20th century.
- Abraham Lincoln: Lincoln was the sixteenth American president. He is credited with his efforts to end slavery in the United States.
So, if that's your choice, you'll need to head to the state of South Dakota, where the historic tribute is located, amid the Black Hills.
4 – Grand Canyon.
This is perhaps the most famous tourist attraction in the entire United States. In fact, it is used a lot in several American films and series.
Furthermore, the Grand Canyon is located in the state of Arizona, which is neighboring Nevada. It is currently classified as one of the 7 wonders of the world.
With a very specific coloration, which was designed over billions of years by the Colorado River, the total extension of the landscape is 446 km long, 30 km wide and an incredible 1.8 km deep.
Since it is close to Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon is one of the most sought-after destinations for visitors staying in “sin city”.
One of the most visited tourist attractions is known as the West Rim. Technically, it is not part of the park. In fact, it is integrated with the Hualapai Indian Reservation.
Therefore, if you are interested in visiting this wonder, the average price of the tour is U$ 43.
5 – Central Park.
One of the largest urban parks and the largest in the United States, Central Park is located in the heart of New York.
With a length of 4 km and a width of approximately 800 meters, the park covers a total area of 340 hectares. The area is so large that within the park you can find bakeries, artificial lakes, waterfalls and even cascades.
However, the park is an excellent place to walk, ride a bike or do any physical activity that interests you.
That's why it's one of New Yorkers' favorite places to walk, sunbathe, or even have an outdoor date.
But, if you still think that's not enough, you can have fun at the Zoo inside the park itself.
However, the zoo part is paid. But entry to the park itself is free.
