China Biking

Hong Kong International Airport, Sky Plaza Road, Hong Kong for 9 Days • from $4,998* per person

Provider: Backroads

Maybe it's the bike. It's disarming. Friendly. It shows you China in a way you can't see by any other means. Ride by a group of school girls or a farmer in his rice paddy, and it instantly changes China. It's no longer about walls you can see from space or newspaper images of students in front of tanks. It's closer than that. It's real. The foods are richer. The language is spoken with your eyes. Yes, this journey somehow… more

Provider: Backroads

Nothing can prepare you for Bhutan. It’s like nowhere else you’ve been. It has a magic about it that's indescribable. The quiet smiles. The natural rhythms of life.

Provider: Backroads

How long does a trip last? Not in duration. In memories. In the stories you’ll tell friends.

Patagonia Walking & Hiking

Patagonia Walking & Hiking

El Calafate, Argentina for 8 Days • from $4,998* per person

Provider: Backroads

That whole "time flies" theory just doesn't work in Patagonia. Imagine slowly ambling along a small ferry through a tremendous fjord on Lago Argentina heading toward Upsala Glacier. Time is moving so slowly but you can't possibly take in the scenery fast enough. The Andes are so windswept they almost look like petrified ocean waves, white caps and all. The lake is bouncing a clear blue sky back up at you. Framing everything perfectly. It's like time freezes in Patagonia… more

Maine’s beauty lies in its rawness. Fresh tart blueberries growing wild on the side of the road. Hills rising from the rocky shores of Camden.
