Gibraltar
Perched at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, Gibraltar is a captivating destination where British and Mediterranean influences seamlessly blend. Dominated by the iconic Rock of Gibraltar, this British Overseas Territory is a haven for travelers seeking both adventure and history. The Rock itself is a limestone monolith that stands 426 meters high and offers breathtaking views over the Strait of Gibraltar, where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean.
Aroumd
High in the Atlas Mountains, the village of Aroumd sits on a rocky slope above the Ait Mizane Valley. Reached by a walk or mule path from nearby Imlil, the journey itself sets the tone as one that's quiet, scenic, and far removed from city life. At nearly 1,900 meters above sea level, the air feels crisp, and the views stretch across terraced hills and distant peaks. The absence of large roads keeps the village peaceful, allowing visitors to experience daily life at a slower pace.
Norfolk
Norfolk, the second largest city in Virginia (after Virginia Beach) is located at the mouth of the James, Elizabeth, and Nansemond rivers, near the outlet of Chesapeake Bay on the Atlantic Ocean. With the cities of Hampton, Portsmouth, and Newport News, Norfolk forms the port of Hampton Roads, one of the greatest natural harbors in the world.
Iquitos
Although not accessible by road, it is Peru's most important commerical center in the east. It is on the Amazon which is wide enough to allow freighters at their busy port. The 1880's saw the rubber boom and recently oil has been the boom.
Paracas
Paracas, a small coastal town in southern Peru, offers a mix of desert landscapes, marine wildlife, and ancient history. Just three hours from Lima, it’s the gateway to the Paracas National Reserve, one of the country’s most important protected areas. This reserve includes both land and sea, making it home to dramatic cliffs, wind-carved rock formations, and waters where dolphins, sea lions, and Humboldt penguins are frequently seen.
