To avoid the crowds of mass tourism, consider travel into pristine natural environments and indigenous cultural communities. Below are just a few interesting suggestions. 1. Cuba: Although most people are particularly interested in Havana for its classic cars, Cuban culture and colonial architecture, there is so much more to see on this Caribbean island. Leave the city to explore the majestic mountains, tropical jungles, national parks, and nature reserves, which offer a diverse array of wildlife.
2. Cape Verde: The archipelago of Cape Verde, off the west coast of Africa, includes 10 islands and offers a diverse variety of ecosystems. Eastern islands are flat and barren while those in the west include cloud-capped mountains and volcanic cones. There are high cliffs, black-sand beaches, wind-sculpted landscapes with forest-covered hills in the island’s interiors. Cape Verde is listed as one of the top ten Ethical Destinations due to its commitment to clean energy, human rights, conservation and cultural preservation.
3. Botswana: Over the last 50 years, Botswana has prioritized conservation and the protection of its wildlife with the establishment of the Moremi Nature Reserve in 1963, resulting in amazing attractions for animal lovers. Explore the Okavango Delta via canoe, view the 120,000 elephants in Chobe National
Park and a traditional Big 5 safari experience at Moremi. While you are in Botswana, try to include a visit to Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world where you can canoe with the elephants, swim in Devil’s Pool and hike the Batoka Gorge.
4. Croatia: For a small country, there is much to experience and explore including ten UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Encompassing more than a thousand islands in the Adriatic Sea, the major coastal city of Dubrovnik is known for its massive 16th century walls encircling an Old Town with Gothic and Renaissance buildings. The town of Split is centered around the 4th century ruins of a Roman Palace complex. Croatia’s beaches are busy in the summer and the island of Hvar is known for its yachts and celebrities. There is also Plitvice Lakes National Park known for its turquoise lakes and dramatic waterfalls.
