MORE UNIQUE WALKS FROM AROUND THE WORLD
Added on: 29th Apr 2015
MOUNT SINAI, EGYPT
Mount Sinai is an extremely significant and sacred place and according
to Judeo-Christian tradition, it is the place where God gave Moses the
Ten Commandments. Even if you’re not the religious type Mount Sinai
offers amazingly distinctive walks where you will see one of the
bluest skies ever in your life and the sand-coloured mountains make
an incredible background for some fantastic photos.
HADRIAN’S WALL, ENGLAND
Hadrian’s Wall was a defensive fortification in Roman Britain, built in
122 AD during the rule of Emperor Hadrian, and today it’s the
most popular tourist attraction in northern England. Unlike many other
historic locations and attractions, Hadrian’s Wall has something to
offer to almost everyone: elite archaeology, striking landscapes,
one-of-a-kind wildlife, undisturbed solitude, lively cities, fantastic pubs
and a population of warm, friendly people who will help you
enjoy your stay.
BAGAN WALK, MYANMAR (BURMA)
Myanmar has become a hot tourist spot in recent years due to its location.
The country is situated around the amazing Bagan plain, peppered
with over three thousand religious buildings, which makes the area one
of the most sacred destinations in the world. However, the
dangerously high temperatures can make the walk an unpleasant,
dusty experience, even though just witnessing the ornate stupas,
pagodas, and temples close up will make it worth it in the end.
COPPER CANYON, MEXICO
Copper Canyon comprises six different canyons in Chihuahua state,
Mexico, proudly showing off a green hue to their walls, hence the name.
Hiking through the yawning chasms and ravines, slathered in trees,
is a pretty cool experience. And if you pick up a few blisters along the way,
hop on the Chihuahua al Pacifico Railway, which runs right through.
TABLE MOUNTAIN, SOUTH AFRICA
Looming large and welcoming you to Cape Town, whether you are
arriving by plane, train, boat, or car is the iconic Table Mountain,
which is considered one of the new Seven Wonders of Nature.
Even though it’s quite a challenging climb, for those who are fit enough
to attempt such a “mission,” it will be worth it with. Your reward will
be the incredible views of the blue sea and Cape Town.
FITZ ROY MASSIF, PATAGONIA (ARGENTINA)
If you decide to visit Patagonia’s icy, cold Fitz Roy Massif you will
definitely have to bring your warmest clothes because in these
awfully beautiful but frozen lakes and snow-covered mountains you
can get pneumonia or suffer from hypothermia before you know it.
Also, this is an ideal place for very experienced climbers who
are adrenaline junkies.
THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA
One of the world’s greatest feats of engineering, the Great Wall of
China was constructed to protect the Chinese empire. Nowadays, it is
considered one of the most spectacular tourist attractions in the world
and millions of visitors walk along its impressive path every year,
experiencing a unique combination of natural beauty and man’s genius.
MILFORD TRACK, NEW ZEALAND
The Milford Track is known worldwide for its incredibly deep valleys,
glacial lakes, and sheer canyons, from Glade Wharf to Milford Sound in
Fiordland National Park. Don’t let the awesome beauty of this place
mislead you though; to walk through this natural treasure you will need
to be in great shape, and according to the tour guides, a proper tour
usually takes 4–5 days, depending on your fitness level.
