Georgia
is situated in the South East of the USA and is one of
the largest states in the country, founded in the 13th
century as one of the first English colonies of the New
World. The landscape varies considerably from mountains,
forested ridges, caves, farms and orchards, swampland
and the coastline with its tidal marshes.
Georgia is a state with a rich historical and cultural
past, this is where the Creek and Cherokee Indian
nations was born, where the cotton plantations started
with slave work, it was also the major site of the Civil
War, which culminated with the burning of Atlanta the
capital.
The capital known as the ‘City of Forest’ with its
magnificent Georgian-style homes in striking opposition
to the strikingly contemporary buildings that make up
Atlanta’s skyline, is a city that offers a blend of the
modern and the old character of the southern
hospitality.
Savannah is a city full of charm with most of its
original beauty preserved over the centuries, boasts
buildings of historical importance, such as the
magnificent Regency-styled Owens-Thomas House and the
Georgian Davenport House.
Waycross is one of the gateways to the Okefenokee Swamp,
this is one of the country’s most splendid wildlife
sites, and is a refuge for rare animal life and exotic
plants.
The climate in Georgia varies from low humidity and
cooler temperatures in the Blue Ridge Mountains to the
subtropical temperatures of the southern coast.
