Some destinations reward travelers for making the effort to reach them; for the Falklands, the effort is part of the reward. Scattered across the South Atlantic some 400 miles (650 kilometers) from the southeastern tip of Argentina, this windswept British Overseas Territory of more than 740 islands and islets feels genuinely removed from the rest of the world. Its population numbers only around 3,600, leaving vast stretches of coast, moorland and pasture almost entirely to sheep, seabird

No megaresorts, no swim-up bars three deep with cocktails, no overrun tourist attractions, no pushy touts. This 290-square-mile bit of lush real estate wedged between Guadeloupe and Martinique is all rainforest, river, and volcano, with just enough sea and sand to satisfy beach lovers. But while Dominica is just 29 miles tip to tip and 16 across, don't let the size fool you into thinking you can zip around in an hour. The interior is all steep, forested mountains, so even the dri
First off, this West African country is big — nearly ten times the size of the United Kingdom and roughly as big as Texas and California put together. Not to mention that with some 242 million people, it's the world's sixth most populous country as well as Africa's most populous by a wide margin. It also boasts Africa´s third largest economy, and while oil and gas are by far its biggest drivers, tourism is a small but significant and growing sector of the economy (about four percent at
The United States has quietly become the world's leading eco-tourism market, overtaking Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and Costa Rica to claim the top spot in the Americas and Caribbean region, with the domestic sustainable tourism industry valued at over $258 million in 2023 and projected to climb past $663 million by 2033. Behind that growth is a genuine bench of destinations doing the hard, unglamorous work of conservation instead of just marketing themselves as green. If you're vetting operators be

A highlight of our visit to Kenya was an exhilarating hike to Mount Longonot, an iconic crater mountain nestled in the Great Rift Valley, which stretches some 6,000 kilometres north to south in the east of the country; it´s the centrepiece of 52-square-kilometre (20-sq.-mile) Mount Longonot National Park,

Tucked between the Himalayas and the Tibetan plateau, Spiti Valley in Himachal Pradesh is the destination on every India traveller's wish list for 2026 — and for good reason. The roads have just reopened, the monasteries are quiet, and the high passes are still untouched by the peak-July crowds. If you have been waiting for the right moment to experience this cold desert, the next few weeks are the sweet spot.

Shaped like a butterfly from the air, Guadeloupe somehow slips between the cracks when it comes to booking travel to the Caribbean, in favor of the likes of Barbados, Jamaica, Aruba, and the Dominican Republic. But that´s actually part of its appeal.
Guadeloupe is actually an overseas département of France, meaning the euro is the currency, baguettes appear everywhere, and locals carry French passports while living amid rainforests, volcanoes, and palm-lined beaches. Around 380,000 pe
For sheer human energy, few countries can match this one. Dense, river-laced, green, noisy, resilient, and often misunderstood, Bangladesh sits tucked into the northeastern corner of the Indian Ocean, almost enveloped by India, with a shorter border to Myanmar and a coastline on the Bay of Bengal. Long dismissed abroad as a place of floods, poverty, repression, and exploitative garment factories, Bangladesh is increasingly emerging as something more interesting: one of Asia’s great undervisite
