INDEPENDENT BUS TRAVEL IN NORTH, CENTRAL, SOUTH AMERICA AND ASIA - BAMBA EXPERIENCE

The world’s third-largest nation in population and size will never cease to amaze you with its incredible array of giant metropolitan cities boasting the latest technological devices and advances to its rustic untouched corners where wild animals roam through unending national parks.  The US, the States, America, or however you wish to refer to it is also one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world with a wealth of multicultural backgrounds from around the world.  Eat authentic Greek, Thai, Chinese, Mexican, Italian or some good-home Southern cooking anywhere throughout the country.

Summer quite possibly be the best time of year to visit the US as the weather is nice and warm with little chance of rain.  During the fall months of September, October and November you will be impressed by the changing colors of the leaves when the northeast coast states begin showing off their vibrantly hued leaves as they change from bright green to orange, yellow and red.  Enjoy the winter months in the southern states or head out to the mountains to catch a full day of skiing in breathtaking landscapes.  

Get lost wandering the streets of big city New York or try your luck at the casinos in Las Vegas.  Go celebrity-spotting on the beach in Los Angeles, party with the crowd in Mardi Gras in New Orleans or see Niagara Falls in upstate New York.  There is an endless array of activities and places to go, see and do.  Immerse yourself in the pristine natural landscapes of the National Parks and Reserves throughout the country.  The Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana) are a paradise for spectacular views and an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.  

Although the country only declared its independence in 1776 and may not have that many “historic monuments”, the US is a major contributor to the world music and cinematography scene.  Rock and Roll, Jazz, Blues, Hip-Hop, Country and Pop music blares from the radio across the country and you will most likely stumble across a bar playing live music wherever you find yourself.  American celebrities, musicians and actors who have found their fame in Hollywood are recognized around the world.  Maybe you’ll see one of them as you tour the country.
