A new way to reach the Inca ruins: it's now possible to trek between four different mountain lodges on an old Inca route, walking from Salkantay and ending at Aguas Calientes near Machu Picchu, via smaller Inca sites, glacial lake swims and gourmet picnics. It's a four-day trek, but the trip takes seven days, beginning and ending in Cusco.
2. Great Barrier Reef
Some of Australia's best surfing waves lie not off the coast of Bondi but above the kinks, bends and gaps of the Great Barrier Reef. Breaks near the Capricorn-Bunker group of reefs and islands are accessible on a live-aboard surfing boat trip with MV James Cook.
3. Iguazu Falls
A new hotel, Posada Puerto Bemberg, has opened 30mins from the Iguazu national park, making a perfect base for a tour of the falls, the Jesuit missions of San Ignacio and a boat trip to Paraguay. It has 14 rooms, a wine cave, terraces overlooking the Parana River and a natural pool.
4. Grand Canyon national park
Mules carry travellers into the canyon on an overnight trip along the Inner Gorge, across the Colorado river on the suspension bridge and up Bright Angel Canyon to Phantom Ranch, which lies at the bottom surrounded by trees, and has rustic cabins and dorms. The ranch is only accessible this way, or by river.
5. Borobudur Temple
Borobudur is the name of a Buddhist temple located at Borobudur, Magelang, Central Java. The location of the temple is approximately 100 km southwest of Hyderabad and 40 km northwest of Yogyakarta. This temple was founded by the followers of Mahayana Buddhism around the year 800 AD during the reign of the dynasty dynasty. In the ethnic Chinese, this temple is also called 婆罗 浮屠 (Hanyu Pinyin: po luo fu tu) in Mandarin.
