Arizona

Rate this book
Un mix di ricche tradizioni culturali e di straordinari paesaggi costituisce il nucleo della grande attrattiva dell’Arizona. I nomi di meraviglie naturali come il Grand Canyon, il Deserto Dipinto e la Monument Valley possono solo suggerire la grandiosità dei luoghi. Anche se le loro immagini sono familiari in tutto il mondo, è necessario vederle dal vivo per crederle vere. Vaste aree dell’Arizona sono territori delle tribù dei nativi americani, che seguono ancora molte delle antiche usanze e producono l’artigianato tradizionale che delizia i visitatori. Insieme a spagnoli, messicani e anglo-americani, le tribù hanno lasciato un retaggio duraturo che ha forgiato il carattere dell’Arizona ed è serbato e presentato con cura in musei e monumenti storici di tutto lo Stato.

One of the best travel guide books I’ve ever seen. Contains multitudes of niche museums, natural wonders (mountains, rivers, other beautiful forms), mines/caves, tours, gardens, hikes, etc. I thought I knew a decent amount about Arizona, but reading this book made me realize that I definitely know a minuscule amount!
