If you are thinking about traveling to the United States, today we are going to leave you with some tips on the 5 best tourist spots to visit in the United States.
We are constantly bombarded by all American movies, series and programs, so we get used to seeing beautiful places in the USA.
Therefore, visiting, discovering or even living in the land of “Uncle San” ended up becoming 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 mountains of Sierra Nevada, California.
Its fame is due to its sequoias, trees that are hundreds of years old and gigantic. In addition, it also has Tunel View.
But, we cannot forget the beautiful waterfalls that exist in the park. In addition, the park has giant granite boulders. Yosemite is a paradise for nature lovers.
If this is one of the places you chose to visit, I advise you to reserve at least one day to visit Yosemite Valley.
Without a doubt, this is one of the best trails. In it, you can have a view of the 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 relies on Geothermal Forces, or if you prefer, you could say that the park is under a “supervolcano”.
Because of this, you find a series of mountains, rivers, canyons and best of all, geysers. In addition, a great fauna, full of animals throughout the park.
Yellowstone is perhaps the most visited park in the US. According to the latest figures released, it receives approximately 3 million visitors a year, from all over the world.
Located at a point where it divides with 3 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 km of territory.
3 – Mount Rushmore National Memorial.
Mount Rushmore, perhaps, can perfectly translate how Americans respect the 4 presidents who most collaborated for the evolution of the United States.
The heads carved in the stones belong to:
- George Washington: In addition to being the first US president, he was the man who united and led the nation through the revolution that brought independence from the British crown.
- Thomas Jefferson: This was the third president in the history of the United States. In addition, he had an important role in American independence, including, he is the author of the Declaration of Independence.
- Theodore Roosevelt: According to several historians and economists, Roosevelt was the president who most helped the country in its period of greatest development, at the beginning of the 20th century.
- Abraham Lincoln: Lincoln was the sixteenth American president. It has all its merits for its efforts to end slavery in the United States.
So, if that's your choice, you'll need to go to the state of South Dakota, where the historic tribute is located, in the middle of the Black Hills.
4 – Grand Canyon.
This is perhaps the most famous tourist spot in the entire United States. It is even used a lot in several American movies and series.
Furthermore, the Grand Canyon is located in the state of Arizona, which is neighboring Nevada. Currently, it is classified as one of the 7 wonders of the world.
With a very specific coloring, which was designed for billions of years by the Colorado River, the total extension of the landscape is 446km 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 popular destinations for visitors to the “Sin City”.
One of the most visited tourist spots is known as the West Rim. Technically, it's not part of the park. In fact, it is integrated with the Hualapai Indian Reservation.
Therefore, if you are interested in knowing 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.
4 km long and approximately 800 meters wide, it has a total area of 340 hectares. The place is so big, that inside the park you can find bakeries, artificial lakes, waterfalls and even waterfalls.
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 a date outdoors.
But, if that's not enough for you, you can have fun with the Zoo inside the park itself.
However, the zoo part is paid. But entry to the park itself is free.
