Adventure Travel: Choose Your Trip with Some Special Locations
Adrenaline junkies should get ready as 2017 is coming strong with places they haven’t even thought existed. Adventure traveling is the next big thing, especially for people fed up with conventional destinations. It is an opportunity to go beyond the traditional and explore the world in its wildest and most unusual way. However, before getting started make sure you’re up for the challenge. Not everyone can escalade the Himalayas or dive into the desert. Here are some amazing top destinations you might want to write down on your New Year’s resolution list.
Patagonia
Hiking in Patagonia is something you don’t get to do very often. For the most adventurous, it is a chance in a lifetime to explore one of the world’s most incredible travel locations in the world. Accommodation is available at the EcoCamp in Patagonia, which is comfortable, sustainable, and conveniently-priced. The surrounding glaciated wildlife and peaks are breathtaking, although only the most experienced will enjoy the experience. To hike the Patagonian hills and valleys, make sure you’re properly trained – both training and endurance are needed to make the most of your trek. Patagonia is grandiose. It is a wild wonderland where nature grows abundantly and the pristine rivers complement the surreal scenery. If you’re looking for an adventurous destination like no other, this is it.
Mongolia
Known for its nomadic culture and rugged, vast expanses, Mongolia is outstanding. Bordered by Russia and China, this beautiful destination has everything required to fuel your need for adventure traveling. The vague tracks spread throughout the territory are marked by Buddhist monasteries, and everywhere you look you’ll see wildlife, local people living a modest lifestyle, and spectacular sceneries. Ulaanbaatar is Mongolia’s capital, and as soon as you arrive it will exceed all your expectations. Believe it or not, the city is enormous, and if the rest of Mongolia is wild and rugged, its capital is modern. Packed with sinful nightlife, pulsating commerce, and contrasting modern buildings, Ulaanbaatar might just be the best place to take a break and relish the glitzy lifestyle for a few days.
Iceland
Iceland’s scenery is dramatic and rugged. Everywhere you look, you’ll see either ice or volcanic lava. The island’s visual splendor can be admired by car, on foot, or by boat. Make your pick and head to one of the world’s coldest and most breathtaking adventure destinations. As soon as you arrive, travelers will be mesmerized by the clean air, beautiful people, and backdrop landscapes. Famous for its gastronomic delights – mostly based on fish – Iceland is a destination like no other. Its capital, Reykjavik, packs lots of attractions, activities and places of interest.
Lofoten Islands, Norway
If you’re passionate about water sports, and you’re not intimidated by icy weather conditions, Norway is the best to put on your list for your next adventure escapade. Lofoten Islands is the best place for hiking and skiing in Norway. The hospitality of the locals, quietness and tranquility of the villages, and superb landscapes will make your trip memorable. Since the islands are located close to the Arctic Circle, there are high chances to spot the Aurora Borealis in winter. Try out Norwegian fishing, explore the premises by boat, and relish in the superb surroundings to make the most of your adventure.
South Africa
Last but not least, we have South Africa on the list. Also known as a top-tier safari destination, South Africa perfectly blends the old and the new. We have outstanding wildlife and abundant vegetation outside the cities, and modern architecture and tech advances within the main metropolises. If you’re looking for memorable South Africa safaris, this is it. The big five can be spotted in the wild ruggedness of Kruger National Park. Lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalos are everywhere in Kruger. To make your trip memorable, lodge at one of the many resorts and cottages in the area and make the most of your journey.
The world is vast and packed with adventure destinations. All of them are unique in their very own way. Make your pick, choose the one that best matches your budget and preferences from the ones we’ve mentioned, and engage in a travel experience to remember for a lifetime.
