There are many paths that lead to Machu Picchu but none like the Inca trail. Perhaps the best know trail on the entire American continent. It doesn’t sound so epic, when heading out from Cusco, the destination is just 43Km away. But the path winds ever upward, between forests and mountain, stone steps with majestic views, precipitous drops. Until one reaches the reward: Puerta del Sol and the views of the ruins of Machu Picchu.
Misool – where? One of the main islands of the Raja Ampat Island group in West Papua (formerly Irian Jaya), Indonesia.

And talk about exclusive, with a maximum capacity of 40 guests, you couldn’t find a more tranquil and pristine tropical island adventure. This place will really give you escape!
If you’re already getting a bit of excitement up on the Roof of the World, where better than on the back of a bike – it saves on the uphill shoe leather and its not short of excitement. The specific where is Ladakh, essentially Manali to Leh. So of course, you already need to be in the region, it’s more of an excursion than a package tour, but if you like a rush with your back-packing adventures and can get up to Manali sometime soon, there will be plenty of excitement, tons of spectacular scenery, challenging mini-rivers of mud, old forts, crystal clear lakes, the Tanglang-La Pass said to be the second-highest motorable drive in the world and in case I didn’t mention it plenty of excitement.
