Discover 10 of the World’s Most Adventurous Travel Destinations
4. Namibia
The name Namibia means “vast place of nothingness” — which doesn’t sound like the most enticing adventure travel destination. When it comes to otherworldly landscapes and unique travel experiences, though, Namibia rules supreme. Thousand-foot dunes in the world’s oldest desert are a prime location for cruising in a 4×4 and watching sunsets.
Sand seas, dead tree valleys, and burnt-orange dunes plunging into the sea are just a few of the features of Namibia’s astounding natural beauty. Adventure here means exploring remote wildernesses and gazing in awe at the magnificent wildlife, including the world’s largest population of free-ranging rhinos.
Namibia is as much a spiritual getaway as it is an adventurous one. You’ll come away feeling challenged, yet oh so satisfied with your time spent here. The Skeleton Coast in particular is especially attractive as an adventure destination for couples.
5. Colombia
Colombia is more than just golden beaches. Here you’ll find deep jungles hiding lost cities, a desolate desert on the northernmost tip of South America, valleys populated with the world’s tallest palm tree, and isolated coastal towns where you’ll find turtles hatching on the beach and whales swimming just offshore.
It’s Safe to say that every day in Colombia is an adventure, whether you’re zipping through the dirt streets of a remote town on the back of a motorbike or discovering underground salsa bars in Bogota.
Here are some of the best hiking apps for hikers of all kinds. Whether you want to map out a route or file pictures away, there is one for everyone.
6. Romania
Romania is still largely overlooked as a tourist destination in Europe, which means you’ll have the mountains and forests all to yourself. The Carpathian Mountains seem custom-made for hiking and camping trips, and going bear spotting is sure to give you your dose of thrills, while following in the footsteps of vampires is a whole different kind of adventure.
The medieval villages and some of Europe’s last virgin forests will make you feel as if you have been transported to another era.
