In the US, embarking on a train trip means taking the track less travelled. Once the symbol of technological advancement and westward expansion, the country’s railroads have had a hard time moving into the modern era.

Spanning from the frigid shores of northern Greenland down to the southern islands of Chile, the Americas offer a spectacular array of landscapes all open for exploration—and their rich diversity of climates have given rise to both fascinating wildlife and a multitude of high-end resorts scattered all across both continents. Whether you’re hoping to take a dip with massive sharks, marvel at baby sea turtles making their way to the ocean or lengthen your life list on an unforgettable birdwatching excursion, the following properties are perfect for the ultimate wildlife lover’s getaway.
The Puerto Rican capital of San Juan has long been known for its thriving nightlife and incredible food scene, but this vibrant city is no slouch when it comes to wildlife, either. During a stay at the historic Caribe Hilton, guests can spot massive iguanas sunning themselves all along the property’s massive outdoor pool complex, while the nearby reef is perfect for a lengthy snuba session, with all sorts of dazzling fish and invertebrates calling the area home.

In addition to cozy cabins and a rustic dining space offering hearty Chilean barbecue, the property also offers a wealth of day tours via horseback, providing guests with an opportunity to encounter native Patagonian flora and fauna along some of South America’s most stunning backdrops. During a journey, visitors can encounter Patagonian foxes, guanacos, Andean condors and even the elusive puma, then return back to the lodge for some much-needed relaxation.
Parrotfish, triggerfish and spotted eagle rays are just a few of the creatures that can be encountered during a trip to Resorts World Bimini, a sprawling hotel that’s found just eighty kilometers off of the Florida coast. While Bahamian sea creatures abound all throughout the year, November brings an incredible opportunity in the form of the Great Hammerhead Safari. Available for roughly six months each year, this unforgettable diving experience brings guests to the sea floor to come face-to-face with friendly hammerhead sharks, with potential appearances from other aquatic species like the nurse and tiger shark as well.

Close-up marine encounters and rare birdlife: why St Helena is a wildlife-watching paradise
For decades, the only way to access St Helena — a subtropical island 1,200 miles off the southwest coast of Africa — was aboard the Royal Mail ship RMS St Helena on its five-day sailing from Cape Town. But since 2017, a new commercial airport has made one of the world’s most remote islands easier to visit. We speak to Anthony Thomas, founder of St Helena dive operator Sub-Tropic Adventures, and Dennis Leo, wirebird conservation manager at St Helena National Trust, to find out how responsible wildlife tourism is taking hold on this remote South Atlantic island.

Costs are often lower, while luxury accommodation can be similarly priced to budget options in mainstream European ski resorts.
