True adventures are found off the beaten track and we have some great trips lined up for 2014.
In earlier blog posts I wrote about new walking and hiking trips and new cycling trips
for 2014. For less active cultural trips, we offer some great
small-group tours. Below is our lineup of new tours in Europe for
2014. For more new trips ideas, click on these blog posts: Americas, Europe, Asia.
Highlights of Nicaragua:
from the twin peaks of Ometepe Island to the ashen slopes of Cerro
Negro Volcano, the 'Land of Lakes and Volcanoes' is a great way to
escape the crowds. Travel through misty cloud forest, full of birds,
wildlife and the sweet smell of orchids, and to isolated Pacific beaches
where nesting olive ridley turtles arrive en masse (in season). We also
have time to enjoy colonial Granada and revolutionary Leon; rustic,
charming cities.
Explore El Salvador:
delve into the unassuming beauty of El Salvador and discover why this
is one of the hidden gems of Central America. This trip gives you a
sumptuous taste of life in this fascinating country, taking you from the
lush nature reserves near Ahuachapan, to the charming colonial streets
of Suchitoto and the buzzing capital of San Salvador. Sail onto
brilliant blue lakes, hike among rich birdlife in spectacular national
parks, and discover the Cerro Verde volcano. Walk down cobbled streets
and admire colourful houses in a nostalgic small town, and discover a
flourishing arts scene hiding behind old colonial doors. Then, bask in
the hipster vibe of San Salvador’s bar and café scene and get immersed
in a city bursting with energy and contradictions. There are plenty of
things to love about El Salvador, and this trip reveals some of the
best.
Northern Namibia and Angola:
this is a trip for anyone who is ready to get away from the normal
tourist trail and explore a remote but fascinating part of Southern
Africa; a hardly inhabited area of dramatic beauty and incredible
scenery where age-old tribes eke out a nomadic existence and animals
roam beyond the borders of any national park. This is a pioneering
journey through remote lands where few others have been, following faint
sand tracks instead of roads, sleeping under the stars where no hotel
would feature, and meeting the magnificent Himba tribe who are strangers
to modern society and live as their ancestors have for many centuries.
Armenia, Georgia & Azerbaijan:
the Caucasus region of Central Asia holds a wealth of unexplored
territories. Wedged between two seas, surrounded by Europe's largest
mountain range and straddling two continents, Azerbaijan, Georgia and
Armenia are home to some extraordinarily beautiful scenery and
incredibly hospitable people. Journey from the fascinating Old City of
Baku in Azerbaijan through the quaint towns and glorious hillsides of
Georgia, before finishing the adventure in Armenia's laid-back capital,
Yerevan. Mixing isolated villages, populous capital cities, ancient
castles, breathtaking vistas, abundant natural resources and a flashy
nouveau riche, this region of Caucasia offers up a variety of surprising
contrasts, fascinating sights and stunning landscapes.
Discover Bangladesh:
this intoxicating new trip offers genuine experiences in a destination
largely untouched and unexplored by foreign tourists. Outside the
chaotic cities we discover the country's true beauty, including the lush
tea plantations and rainforest around Srimongal, the UNESCO World
Heritage Sites of Paharpur and Bagerhat, as well as two days spent
exploring the wilderness of Sundarbans National Park, the largest
mangrove forest on earth. Bangladesh may not offer the grand sites of
its neighbours but adventure is guaranteed and the open hearted people
of this country are the true highlight.
