I am not sure if I understood this sentence right

> まだ行ったことのないアメリカや日本に行ってみたいです。

I got it like: "I want to visit places where I've never been such as America
and Japan".

And why is there の?

**Edit** : Thanks to the links now I know why there is の

But I'm still unsure about the right translation for that sentence.

How to translate 「まだ行ったことのないアメリカや日本に行ってみたいです」?
I'd translate this as : I'd like to visit places in America and Japan that
I've never been to before.

This seems to be an answer to a previous query. As with many Japanese
sentences, the "proper" translation is very dependant on the context.

行ったことのないアメリカ seems to me that the person has been to America before, but is
talking about places in America that they haven't _yet_ visited. A literal
translation might be "The America that I haven't visited"

As for #2, I don't have a perfect answer because I'm not a student of grammar,
but there is a slight change of nuance between の and が here. が makes it sound
more like the person has never been to America at all.
