After Labor Day weekend, the crowds at campsites across the country tend to die down, the mosquitos depart, and the colorful fall foliage and autumn wildlife arrive. In other words, fall is an ideal time for hitting the great outdoors and camping. The weather is warm enough for enjoying hikes and bike rides during the…
When you think of “underground” attractions, spots that are hip and under-the-radar probably come to mind first. Well, allow us to change your train of thought for a moment with some mind-blowing sites that are, quite literally, under the surface. Spanning the globe, some of these clandestine spaces are manmade while others have naturally formed…

Case-in-point: earlier this month, the Pu’u O’o crater on the Kilauea volcano formed a smiley face out of lava. Paradise Helicopters captured the image over the Big Island of Hawaii, where the volcano has been active for 33…

It even beats the Grand Canyon, which comes in second and annually attracts about five million travelers. So where did it all start? The park’s history…
One doesn’t travel to San Francisco to sit indoors. The City by the Bay’s charm can only be soaked up by driving down the steep Lombard Street, walking along the wooden planks of Fisherman’s Wharf, and climbing Russian Hill in a creaking cable car.

Our fast-paced lives and increasingly hyper-connected world may be fun and exciting, but it can also be exhausting. When we think of a real vacation, we picture escaping the bustling cities and swapping car alarms for crickets. While backpacking up a mountain could do the trick, we’re more inclined to pick a hotel that offers…
Now that the wind has picked up that autumnal (burgeoning on wintry) chill, and the days have gotten shorter, cozy cabins – nestled among the country’s most gorgeous mountains and alongside picturesque lakes – have begun to beckon. Instead of the airy beachfront huts and jungle-surrounded tree houses we sought out this summer (long gone…
Lima é uma surpresa. A capital do Peru se destaca por ser eclética e ainda abrigar muitos vestígios da cultura Inca. Quando se trata do Centro Histórico, há muito o que se fazer por lá. Como toda grande cidade, algumas áreas são decadentes e pecam no quesito segurança. Redobrar a atenção não custa nada. Abaixo,…
