The Americas span two continents — North and South America — linked by the isthmus of Central America and fringed by the islands of the Caribbean. From the Arctic tundra of Canada to the tip of Patagonia, they cover every climate zone on Earth. The Andes form the world’s longest mountain range, the Amazon carries more water than any other river, and the Amazon rainforest is the planet’s largest tropical forest.
The region’s 35 countries are home to more than a billion people. They include the world’s largest economy (the United States), the largest Portuguese-speaking nation (Brazil), the largest Spanish-speaking nation (Mexico), and a mosaic of Caribbean island states — a hemisphere shaped by indigenous civilizations, European colonization and centuries of migration from every corner of the globe.
