ADVENTURE HOLIDAYS

Is it time for an adventure? Are you a bit bored with your routine? Don´t worry! There is an incredible solution for
you: An adventure trip! All over the world, there are a lot of exciting holidays you can take and here, you will find all
the information you need to help you decide exactly what type of adventure you´d like to go on.

Activity holidays are for everyone, for people who love danger or who just like sports. There is a huge variety of water,
snow or desert holidays. You can go scuba diving in the Red Sea or kayaking and rafting in Canada. If you prefer snow,
you can try skiing or snowboarding in the Alps or even igloo-building. For those who like warmer weather, we also
have sandboarding (the desert versión of skateboarding) or camel safaris.

Polar expeditions: you can also take a cruise to Antarctica or the northern Arctic and explore a land of White natural
beauty and wonderful wildlife. A team of experts will explain everything about the two poles as you watch the
penguins in Antarctica or whales and polar bears in the Arctic. There´s no greater adventure than travelling to the ends
of the earth.

There are also cultural journeys that will help you discover ancient civilisations in places like India, Thailand, Egypt and
many more. You may visit temples, palaces and ancient ruins – just remember to bring your camera! If you take this
holiday, you will learn about new ways of life by exploring markets, trying exotic foods and meeting local people.

Wildlife holidays: there are small-group tours to get closer to nature in Africa, Asia or South America. You may go on
a safari in Africa and watch lions and giraffes. You can go and meet the famous enormous and old turtles of the
Galapagos Islands, as well. If you aren´t interested in any of those, you can look for tigers in India, or take an elephant
safari in Sri Lanka.

As you can see, there are a lot of options to have an amazing experience by doing incredible activities and sports or
seeing places you will never forget.

1) In many countries, there are several different options to go on adventure vacations.

2) There is an opportunity to go to the two poles of the earth on these types of holiday.
