Adventure
The W Trek through Torres del Paine in Chilean Patagonia is one of the world's most spectacular hiking routes — granite towers, turquoise glacial lakes, hanging glaciers and winds that could knock you sideways. Nothing else quite compares.
Adventure
The Everest Base Camp trek is one of the world's great high-altitude walks — not for its technical difficulty (it requires no climbing skills) but for the landscape, the altitude and the knowledge that you are walking to the foot of the world's highest mountain.
Adventure
The Masai Mara in Kenya is where the phrase 'on safari' was invented, and it remains the world's finest destination for big-game wildlife viewing — especially during the Great Migration, when two million wildebeest cross the crocodile-filled Mara River.
Adventure
Iceland's Route 1 — the Ring Road — circles the entire country in 1,332 kilometres of volcanic landscapes, waterfalls, geysers, black sand beaches and one of Europe's last true wildernesses. Ten days is exactly enough to drive it justice.
Adventure
The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system — 2,300 kilometres of coral, 1,500 species of fish, 4,000 types of mollusc. Diving it is a privilege that also carries weight: the reef has lost half its coral cover since 1995.
Machu Picchu is just the beginning. The Sacred Valley, Cusco, Lake Titicaca and the Colca Canyon make Peru one of the world's greatest adventure destinations.
The W Trek and the famous Towers — everything you need to plan the most dramatic hike in South America.
Cape Town's mountains and beaches, followed by South Africa's legendary Garden Route — one of the world's great coastal road trips.
Scotland's answer to Route 66 — 516 miles of empty roads through the most dramatic scenery in Northern Europe.
