Exotic Escapes
Visit North America's most breathtaking locations, from the rugged
beauty of Alaska to the charm of Appalachia, to Florida's sunny
landscape and the vivid high deserts of Colorado. Take our Great
Sand Dunes excursion and discover an adventure that you've only
dreamed of. Visit snow and sand. Wade in creeks or climb a mountain.
You are sure to discover, as with all of our destinations, the most
exotic of all—nonnative species from all over the world.
Through our network of ships, planes, trains, and automobiles,
we have imported the finest exotic plants and animals to North America
since Europeans first landed on the shores of the East Coast.

invaded areas where you will be visiting.
