Gli United States of America sono un Paese enorme, il che li rende una destinazione variegata che ha qualcosa per tutti. Vi si trovano città che tutti conoscono dai film, quali New York e Las Vegas, bellissimi e famosi parchi nazionali come il Grand Canyon, Yellowstone e Yosemite, ma anche isole e spiagge. Anche se attualmente non si può viaggiare a causa della crisi mondiale dovuta al Covid-19, può essere bello fantasticare di eventuali viaggi futuri.
US National Parks
In the United States, there are 61 national parks, of which more than one has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. This alone shows that the country is endowed with wonderful landscapes. In addition to the Grand Canyon, the famous gorge located in the eponymous national park, Yellowstone and Yosemite, there are also lesser-known national parks that definitely deserve a visit.
One of these is the Dry Tortugas National Park, a small archipelago of coral islands located 110 kilometers west of Key West in Florida. They represent the westernmost extension of the Florida Keys and the park area is made up of over 99% water. Thanks also to its remote location, the national park has one of the most pristine coral reefs in North America.
Of course, Hawaii is also part of the United States and here is one of the national parks declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site: the Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. The park, located on the island of Hawaii, was founded in 1916 and shows the result of 30 million years of volcanism. The park provides great opportunities for hiking enthusiasts.
In the state of Maine is the Acadia National Park, which preserves about half of Mount Desert Island (the largest island on the coast of Maine), many adjacent smaller islands, and part of the Schoodic Peninsula. The park hosts many different animal species thanks to the wide variety of natural habitats.
Beautiful beaches in the United States
It will not be surprising that some of the most beautiful beaches in the USA are located in Hawaii. Travelers flock, for example, to Maui for its abundance of wonderful beaches, of which Kaanapali Beach is one of the most popular. The geologically oldest Hawaiian island, Kauai, also offers brilliant sunsets, pristine beaches, and aquamarine skies. Other popular and famous beaches are found in the state of Florida. In Florida, you can relax, for example, on Sanibel Island, known for its shell-filled beaches. Florida is also home to the famous Miami Beach. Another well-known beach is Santa Monica Beach in California, where many tourists rest after driving the famous Route 66 by car.
Request Travel Authorization for the USA
Anyone wishing to travel to the United States of America once travel is possible again must request travel authorization before departure. All Italian travelers are required to have a visa or an ESTA USA. The ESTA USA is a travel authorization that allows travelers who meet all the requirements to travel to the United States without a visa. The ESTA is easier, faster, and cheaper to obtain than a US visa and is valid for two years, which is why it can already be requested for a future trip when the travel restrictions related to Coronavirus are lifted.
