7 adventure travel ideas for the new year

If adventure travel is part of your New Years Resolution, here are some ideas that would really make your next year unforgettable for years to come.

Traveling is one of those things that many of us want to do, but instead of the usual beach vacation, where you lie down and relax for 2 weeks straight, why not take an active and more exciting approach with Adventure travels?

1. Walk the Inca Trail

The ancient lands of Peru are a place of magic and wonder, where you can follow in the footsteps of one of the most complex empires in the world; the Incas.

2. Visit the Galapagos Islands

This is one of the most naturally beautiful places in the world with unique wildlife found nowhere else. It is also the place where Charles Darwin introduced the “survival of the fittest” theory. Sailing, diving, and visiting the giant tortoises are just part of the fun to be had here.

3. Shipwreck of SS President Coolidge

This wreck dive is located in Santos Espíritu, which is one of the most popular islands in Vanuatu. The ship itself was a luxury ocean liner that was seized by the US military before sinking in a friendly mine. It is considered one of the most accessible wrecks for diving.

4. Climb Mount Kilimanjaro

What better way to experience the vast African wilderness than from the peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. The fittest and altitude come into play here, as the peak reaches over 19,000 feet.

5. Visit Yellowstone National Park.

This National Park was the first in the world and is also one of the most visited in the United States. It is well known for its geyser field which is home to up to 500 geysers within the park. Plus, wildlife viewing is yet another reason to visit, including more than 60 mammals.

6. Ice caving

One famous cave found in Austria is the Eisriesenwelt Caves, which are limestone caves that have formed icicles along the cave entrance within the Alps. It is the largest ice cave in the world and is open between April and October of each year.

7. Visit the Sundarban Rainforest

Visit the swamp and mangrove forest which is located on the border of Bangladesh and West Bengal, India and is home to the endangered Bengal tigers. It is also great for wildlife viewing of many other species, including the abundant birdlife, jungle cats, mongoose, and the unusual-looking crocodile known as the Gavial.
