Having been fortunate to visit every continent, I would say hands down South America.
Big cities? Take your pick - Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Bogota, Santiago de Chile, Salvador...
Nature? Amazon rainforest, mountains of the Andes, Patagonia and its glaciers, Atacama desert...
It's just got everything. I love it so much. I do prefer Europe though.
You can't not choose the continent that has the driest desert, the largest rainforest, the most powerful river, the largest glaciers and the longest mountain range.
- The seven-continent model is usually taught in China, India, the Philippines, parts of Western Europe and most English-speaking countries, including Australia and England
- The six-continent combined-Eurasia model is mostly used in Russia, Eastern Europe, and Japan.
- The six-continent combined-America model is used in France and its former colonies, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Latin America, Greece and some other parts of Europe.
- A five-continent model is obtained from the six-continent model by excluding Antarctica as uninhabited. This is used for example in the Olympic Charter.
North America is a continent. South America is a continent. Some people incorrectly group them together as one to form America (like in this poll).
Latin America is apart of both continents. Mexico + Central America (+ the Caribbean islands) is apart of North America and the rest of Latin America is in South America.
Mess @ you combining the Americas which actually have a body of water to separate them (Panama Canal) but separating Europe and Asia when they share the same landmass.

We all have different theories according to the place where we live, so
There's nowhere to go? Latin America isn't a continent by any definition because it's a cultural grouping, and the sentence you bolded says North and South America are one continent, nothing to do with the random picture. I think North and South America are two separate continents, but I can respect other teachings. The OP grouped them together here, so what? Latin America falls under "America" in the poll.

You and I have no say over what a continent is and isn't. Some are taught one way, some the other. Neither are wrong.
