2. Introduction
Summer is the perfect time to take a trip. Those with kids
will find it a great time because of school schedules. Those
without children might want to take trips to the Southern
Hemisphere to enjoy better weather. Here are some great
summer vacation options to think about this year.
3. Orlando
People who still have kids at home (or those with
grandchildren) might want to think about Orlando,
Florida. There are many tourist attractions in the Sunshine
State. From Disney World to Universal Studios to Sea
World, there is plenty to do in Florida that can keep an
individual or a family occupied for a week or two.
4. Mexico
There are a number of locales that visitors to Mexico can
enjoy. For history and culture, Mexico City is a great option.
For those who want to lounge around the beach and soak
in the sun, Cancun and the Mayan Riviera is a great option.
Puerto Vallarta is also worth a visit, but much of the
summer makes up the rainy season for this Pacific resort
mecca.
5. Machu Picchu
When it’s summer in North America, it’s actually winter in
Peru. That said, the weather is still quite comfortable in
much of South America. Machu Picchu is a world treasure
that can impress history and nature lovers alike. This city
was built on top of a mountain by the Inca. Those who are
adventurous can hike the Inca Trail to reach the site from
Cusco.
6. South Africa
Those who want to visit Africa would do well to take a trip
to South Africa. This nation is one of the more developed
African nations, and it also has a variety of game parks
that can excite any nature lover. Few spots provide as
much in the way of natural beauty and exotic wildlife.
7. US National Parks
For Americans, there is no need to travel abroad to take in
some of the most scenic places in the world. From
Yosemite National Park in California to the Everglades
National Park in Florida, the United States is filled with
impressive landscapes. A trip to Yellowstone and the
Grand Canyon should be on every citizen’s bucket list, and
summer is the best time of the year to visit these national
treasures.
