INTERESTING WALKS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Added on: 3rd Aug 2015

 

PETRA, JORDAN

Petra Area

Petra is beautifully situated between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea

and has been inhabited since prehistoric times. It is half-built,

half-carved into the rock and it is one of the world’s most famous

archaeological sites, where ancient Eastern traditions blend with

Hellenistic architecture.

 

 

THE GRAND CANYON, USA

Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is one of the most powerfully inspiring landscapes

in the world and whoever has visited it and walked there will agree

that it had a strong emotional effect on their senses through its

immense size. Additionally, the combination of colours and eroded

formations that adorn the canyon gives you the illusion that you’re

having an unearthly experience even though you’re in the very real

heart of America.

 

 

THE GOLDEN TEMPLE OF AMRITSAR, INDIA

Golden Temple of Amritsar

The Golden Temple in Amritsar, India, is an important religious location

for Sikhs and a symbol of brotherhood and equality. Everybody is

welcome there, regardless of race and nationality, as long as he or she

is seeking spiritual solace and religious fulfilment without distraction,

or just wants to admire the marvellous Sikh architecture.

 

 

GREAT OCEAN WALK, AUSTRALIA

Great Ocean Walk

The Great Ocean Walk, which stretches 64.6 miles (104 km) from

Apollo Bay to Glenample Homestead along Victoria’s coast in southern

Australia, has so many beautiful places to see and the best way to

explore it is to naturally walk the whole thing. However, if you don’t have

the time or you aren’t in the mood to walk all those miles then you

shouldn’t miss the Twelve Apostles Marine National Park, which is

the absolute highlight of the area.

 

 

THE INCA TRAIL TO MACHU PICCHU, PERU

The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu

Peru’s leading tourist attraction, Machu Picchu, is a ramshackle

collection of ancient Inca buildings “wrapped” in a mountain ridge

north of Cusco. The most adventurous and fit tourists will hike the

Inca Trail up to the site, which usually takes a few days and will

help you lose a few pounds. Unfortunately, for safety reasons there’s

a strict limit to the number of visitors each day and you can only

take the trek with an agency or tour operator.

 

 

CINQUE TERRE, ITALY

Cinque Terre

The adorable Italian villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia,

Vernazza and Monterosso, also known as the “Five Lands,” are

linked by a gentle coastal path that everyone who goes there has to

walk along and take loads of photos of. Apart from Corniglia, which

peers over a cliff, the other villages tumble down beautifully toward

the blue sea, which offers serenity and relaxation even to

the most stressed minds.

 

 

THE CARPATHIAN MOUNTAINS, ROMANIA

Carpathian

Romania’s diverse natural landscapes offer numerous choices for

exciting outdoor experiences and the Carpathian Mountains are the best

proof of this. There’s no doubt that hard core adventurers and wildlife

enthusiasts who can’t resist the call of the wild will love the experience

in the dark, mysterious but gorgeous lands of Vlad the Impaler,

aka Dracula.

 

 

PLAKA, GREECE

Plaka

Plaka is one of the most beautiful neighbourhoods around the world,

combining incredible history, architecture, and culture. Also known

as the “Neighbourhood of the Gods,” Plaka lies right under the cradle

of Western civilization, the Acropolis. It was developed mostly around

the ruins of the Athenian agora, in an area that has been continuously

inhabited since antiquity.  Some of the historical figures who have

walked the narrow pavements of this gorgeous area include

Alexander the Great, the Apostle Paul, Pericles, Socrates, Plato

and Aristotle among others.
