📣 Notas para viajeros

The U.S. features diverse geography, ranging from vast natural areas (Yellowstone, Alaska, Southwest canyons) and rugged coastlines to major metropolitan areas (Manhattan, Chicago) and beaches (Florida, Hawaii). Travelers can explore varied climates and settings across the continent.

• Federal holidays often close government offices, post offices, and banks, although private businesses may remain open.
• If a federal holiday falls on a weekend, the observance usually moves to the nearest weekday.
• The period between Thanksgiving and January 1 is the 'holiday season,' which can result in crowded travel and shopping areas.
• New Year's Day (January 1) is a federal holiday and can cause the closure of many non-retail businesses.
• Table manners lean toward European traditions: wait until all diners are served before starting, use a cloth napkin across your lap in high-end settings, and ask for leftovers 'to go.' Avoid loud eating noises. If visiting a private home, bring a small hostess gift unless instructed otherwise.
