Top Travel Destinations to Connect with Nature
If you’re a nature lover, or just looking to disconnect from our current digital world, these are the top destinations to travel to in order to spend time outdoors.
Yosemite
Just a short trip from San Francisco, Yosemite National Park is the perfect place to hike, horseback ride, or bike. There are different types of landscapes and sites like mountains, meadows, and waterfalls. But, Yosemite is most known for its towering, magnificent sequoia trees that can grow up to 275 feet tall.
Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe is the perfect destination if you’re looking to spend time on the water. Here, you can kayak, canoe, go boating and participate in all different water sports. Plus, you can even go skiing at nearby mountains for a change of pace.
Banff
Banff and nearby Lake Louise, situated in the Canadian Rockies, are known for their breathtaking views and turquoise waters. There are lots of hiking trails and scenic skiing, but don’t expect to swim in Lake Louise, as it is really cold due to the nearby glaciers.
Costa Rica
Costa Rica has beautiful beaches, but also has amazing outdoor activities like zip lining and surfing. There is also a lot of unique wildlife to look out for, like the over 150 species of frogs.
Tuscany
The Tuscan countryside in Italy is less of a nature destination, but more of an outdoor destination. Spend time touring vineyards, walking around the many towns, and dining al fresco. You may even want to go truffle hunting in the Tuscan hills!
