2. Indigenous America

The culture of Indigenous Americans is rich and very much alive. If you would like to experience this culture, there are plenty of places to visit. But we highly recommend, going together with a guide from a local tribe - on foot or by horseback and exploring the country. Along the way, listen to the stories about their culture, history, and landscape.
