10 BEST TREKS IN THE WORLD
We are both lovers of the outdoors. Whenever we travel we seem to jam our day with so many activities that by the end we need a holiday from our holiday! One of the ways we love to explore new places is by going on hikes and treks. Whilst we were in Ubud, Bali we climbed to the top of an active volcano and watched the sunrise. It has been our greatest physical accomplishment so far and we have since become addicted.
We have compiled a list of the top 10 treks around the world that have been added to our ever growing bucket list.
10. The Cinque Terre, Italy
Imagine hiking this 10km rugged coastline in Northern Italy. The Cinque Terre (meaning five lands) allows you to trek though 5 tiny Medieval towns. The mountains are covered in ancient terraced vineyards strung along the edge of the sea.
