Carved out by the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon (nearly 1,500 m deep) is the most spectacular gorge in the world. Located in the state of Arizona, it cuts across the Grand Canyon National Park. Its horizontal strata retrace the geological history of the past 2 billion years. There are also prehistoric traces of human adaptation to a particularly harsh environment.

"I was very impressed with Educating Adventures. I have organised many school trips and I would say that they are the best school travel company that I have dealt with. They thought of everything and ensured that nothing was missed in the build up to the trip. The EA rep was fantastic, could not do enough for us. "
