All of these destinations we’ll talk about are places that you must add to your bucket list. And the best part is they are scattered over the globe. You’d get the chance to learn more about each of them and we will add a few reasons more on why you should visit at least some of them.
Galapagos
It’s a destination everyone should visit. Whether you are looking for an adventure or a peaceful getaway from your daily routine, Galapagos should be number one on your list. There are thousands of reasons why you should visit the islands, but for the sake of time, we’ll mention only a few. After that, it’s up to you to decide if you are already convinced of visiting Galapagos. And if you do decide to go, definitely choose a Galapagos cruise for this adventure as you will enjoy visiting the most remote parts of several islands of the archipelago.
First of all, you will enjoy the white-sand beaches where you can take a dip in the warm, turquoise water, lounge on the shore, or enjoy a cocktail at sunset. Since these islands are one of the most protected in the world, it’s easy to avoid the crowds and have a calm night on your own. Or you can have a real adventure and go snorkeling. You can learn more about marine life and see the coral reef inhabitants. Additionally, you’ll find wildlife during your Galapagos travels. More specifically, you will see giant tortoises or penguins. Many of these animals are long-term inhabitants of the islands so it’s a real adventure to see something not so common.
Panama
This Latin American country is a place you’ll have your best adventures and memories. It’s one of the most underrated destinations and the most adventurous one. Panama is much more than Panama City, it is the home of Bocas del Toro which is a famous adventure destination. It’s located on the Caribbean coast and comprises many islands. You can go kayaking, jungle hiking, jet-skiing, sailing, fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling, or visit cooking classes.
Santa Catalina and Playa Venao are some of the best beaches for surfing. And it’s even better if you are backpacking. Then, you can stroll on a nice hike towards Boquete. This is the home of a large volcano that ascends and from there you can see the Caribbean seas and the Pacific if the sky is clear.
Colombia
While we are at this part of the world, let’s mention Columbia. If you are an adrenaline junkie and you are looking for your next hike or unpredicted travel journey, you can visit this beautiful country. With its diverse landscapes ranging from the Amazon rainforest up to the Caribbean waters, it’s one of the most popular adventure-based places. Cartagena is an ancient city where you can participate in kitesurfing, diving, windsurfing, and many other water sports. And if this is not enough for your brave spirit, we recommend checking the San Gil city while on your Columbia itinerary. It’s a place where tourists and adventure-seekers can enjoy canyoning, cave explorations, white-water rafting, bungee jumping, and much, much more!
Alaska
Alaska is packed with many adventurous activities like heli-skiing, glacier hiking, zip-lining, and many water sports. Here you can find some of the best whitewater rafting, go on snowmobile tours, catamaran cruises in the Alaskan fjords, dip in the hot springs and visit some wildlife tours and learn more about it.
Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is one of those places that will stay in your memory forever. It’s not about the two billion years of slicing through the purple strata to create this natural wonder. Seeing the canyon from water levels is something out of this world. You’ll be able to appreciate more the intimate encounter with this giant, instead of peeking from the top. Let’s be honest, with the sole purpose of visiting the canyon, you have entitled to an adventure. What’s even better is the opportunity to get a close-up of all that glorious geology that makes this place recognizable. You can spend some days camping or backpacking through the area, set up your place, and enjoy a night or two under the clear sky.
Everest
When we say Everest, we don’t mean to conquest the mountain peak. There is a base camp that is an epic trek with breathtaking views. You’ll get the chance to see the Himalayas and admire its grandeur. Most hikers visit this place as their “to-do” item on their bucket list because to stay at the camp you need a certain type of permission. It’s a unique opportunity to sleep in the shadows of the mountain and have an adventure of a lifetime.
The world is a big, beautiful place and these are just a few of the destinations for adventure seekers that will take your breath away, inspire you and get your heart rate elevated! These adventures will be unforgettable ones. Get your passport ready and get packing!
