Experiential travel has always been at the heart of Rough Guides.
For over 30 years, our authors have been sharing travel experiences that
inspire readers to push themselves out of their comfort zones and to
immerse themselves in a destination's culture and traditions.
Rough Guides' bestselling inspirational coffee-table book draws upon
the insider knowledge of in-the-know writers to share the 1000 ultimate
travel experiences across the globe. Make the Most of your Time on
Earth is a handpicked curation of personal recommendations, from
retracing Odysseus's footsteps on Mljet and hippo-spotting in the
Bijagós Islands, to wild camping on the Arabian Peninsula and defying
gravity at China's Hanging Temple. It might even be something as simple
as walking among Hockney's landscapes on the Yorkshire Wolds Way, or
eating among locals in the perfect setting: the definitive gelato in
Rome or a mopane worm in Zimbabwe. Every one is special, and authentic,
and - above all - inspiring.
This fourth edition has been fully revised, with a brand-new
design and a collection of high-quality colour photographs
spanning beautiful national parks, captivating wildlife and dramatic
landscapes. Entries are divided into regions, so you can dip in and out
of the different parts of the world you're interested in, whether that's
a remote island in the Philippines, a stunning Swedish archipelago or an
off-the-beaten-track pocket of Saskatchewan. Lively and engaging text
captures the essence of the experience, while essential "Need to Know"
sections at the end of each chapter make it easy for you to plan your
trip.
Packed full of ideas and take-you-there photography, Make the Most of
your Time on Earth is pure escapism for active travellers and armchair
fantasists alike.
