The Americas

The Americas span about 42.5 million km² from the Arctic to Tierra del Fuego, between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and include the Caribbean. This vast territory connects North America, Central America and South America.

New York, Mexico City, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Los Angeles and Toronto are among its leading metropolitan centres. The Americas have worldwide importance through their economic weight, freshwater and biodiversity, cultural production, and scientific and trading networks. Indigenous cultures, the African diaspora, and European and Asian migrations connect the Caribbean, Mesoamerica, the Andes, the Amazon and the great urban regions of north and south.

W Festivals will include the most important festivals, celebrations and events across the Americas and in every country.
