A wide cut across America’s past and present, from Chicago till Los Angeles crossing 4.000km, 3 time zones and 8 US States. A route that seems to have a single direction, from the cold and conservative Midwest to the sunny and liberal California, inevitably Route 66’s magnetizing pole.
Along the way, landscapes that will transport you to a Hollywood set, a sense of freedom that only a road with no apparent end can give and a diversity that arguably no other country in the world can match: the high mountains of Colorado, the extraordinary National Parks, the desert of Nevada, the Grand Canyon, the Amish communities and even lands of Indians and cowboys that populate our childhood imaginary.
And when you think you’ve seen it all... welcome Las Vegas!
Probably no other road in the world as fed so many dreams. Yours will certainly be one more!
