Tucked in the Caucasus between Eastern Europe and western Asia, this country of 10.3 million - the size of the U.S. state of Maine and just a bit larger than Scotland - offers a fascinating blend of cultures, architecture, landscapes, and cuisine that feels both familiar and refreshingly different, combining Silk Road towns and caravanserais, medieval Islamic architecture, the dramatic Caucasus Mountains, Caspian Sea landscapes, mud volcanoes, and an unusually cosmopolitan capital.

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
In today's travel landscape, more and more people are looking past the standard Golden Triangle circuit and asking a different question: how do I experience India in a way that actually benefits the places and people I'm visiting? The answer, increasingly, is ecotourism — and India happens to be one of the most exciting places in the world to do it right now. From Himalayan trekking cooperatives to solar-powered houseboats drifting through Kerala's backwaters, this side of Indian travel rewards

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
This is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, with attractive and picturesque views of landscapes, historic towns, and cities across the country attract tourists and visitors alike.

If you're traveling through Argentine Patagonia and enjoy nature, Cabo Dos Bahías is a place that will leave a lasting impression.
Located in the middle of a rugged, untouched region, along the seashore and surrounded by vast beaches and coves, this reserve is home to an impressive colony of Magellanic penguins.

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,
Our adventure commenced from Nairobi on a chilly Tuesday morning. Just over an hour later, as we drove past the Rift Valley Escarpment the dramatic cliffs surrounding the valley), excitement
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
Nestled in the lush foothills of the Maya Mountains in southern Belize, Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary stands as one of the most remarkable protected areas in Central America. Established as the world’s first jaguar sanctuary, this expansive rainforest reserve offers travelers an unparalleled opportunity to immerse themselves in pristine wilderness teeming with biodiversity.
The sanctuary’s origins trace back to the 1980s when concerns over jaguar populations pro
Though often overshadowed by other Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, and even Cambodia, Laos has its own culture and natural splendour which makes visitors feel like they´re in another world. Here are eight excellent examples.

Planning a summer trip with teenagers can be tricky. The usual beach resorts and kids’ clubs are not a fit for them anymore. They are at that awkward age where they want something real, or at the very least, something that actually gets them off their phones. That’s why many families are turning to adventure travel, and it makes a lot of sense.
