Where are you headed this year? With airlines increasingly dropping fares and adding routes, there are tons of new opportunities to see the world. Factoring in great value and accessibility, here are our picks for the best places to travel in 2018.
With new protections in place to preserve the peninsula’s biodiverse waters and lands, Baja is well worth exploring beyond the tourist hot spot of Tijuana. Snorkel with whale sharks, kayak the coast and hit charming towns like Todos Santos, Loreto, San Ignacio, Mulegé and La Paz.
This slightly off-radar archipelago has plenty to offer, from fascinating scenery to excellent cuisine and wine. The Parque Nacional de Timanfaya is one highlight, as are the black-sand wineries of La Geria. Scenic drives around Lanzarote are also high on the list.
Bolivia’s incredible scenery is well worth a visit. Base a trip in the capital city, where you can hire budget-friendly tour companies for hiking trips into the Andes.
The European country is a steal in terms of value, while still offering a lot in the way of scenery, food, and culture. Head to Białowieża National Park, try Polish beer or explore Gdańsk’s rebuilt old town.
Highlights include Zhangjiajie’s jumble of peaks, the hanging town of Fenghuang and spicy Hunan cuisine.
