Exploring cities is what most of us do, but there is so much more to see then buildings and museums. Getting off the beaten path sometimes means immersing yourself in the beauty of nature. Today we bring you 5 of the coolest hiking trails around the world.
- Inca Trail
Location: Peru
Distance: 26 miles (43km)
Best time to go: June – August
This hike is iconic not only because of the amount of beautiful views of the mountains, but also because you get to see rivers, ruins and the Machu Picchu. This trail is loaded with nature and history, so if you are into both this should be your next stop.
2. Grand Canyon Rim-To-Rim
Location: Arizona, USA
Distance: 48 miles (77 km)
Best Time to go: May to June, September to October
Although this is one of the classics, Grand Canyon is also one of the coolest. Grand Canyon is a beautiful earthy orange archaeological paradise, brought to us by natural arid-land erosion that happened through millions of years. This trail is perfect, if you want to remind yourself of how exquisite nature can be.
3. Mount Kilimanjaro
Location: Tanzania
Distance: Depends on the route
Best time to go: June to October
There are many trials in Africa, but Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the best hikes in the world. If you find yourself in Tanzania, hiking the hightest Mountain in Africa is a must! Even though you will not be exposed to much wildlife (which mean that it is safer), you will get to enjoy the amazingly astonishing landscapes, full of flowers and plants unique to the mountain.
4. Mount Kailash Trek
Location: Tibet
Distance: 32 miles (52 km)
Best time to go: May to October
A classic Asian trail is also hiked by many pilgraming visitors as it is sacred to many different religions. Unlike other trails, this one doesn’t allow you to climb the mountain as it is seen as a mortal sin. However the lush valleys, gorgeous lakes and snow will make hiking this trek so worth it. The spiritual connection to this hike will make you feel like a new person at the end of it
5. Fitz Roy Trek
Location: Patagonia, Argentina
Distance: 36 miles (58 km)

Traveling back down to Argentina to visit one of Patagonia’s best known landmarks, the Fitz Roy Trek. The views on this hiking trail are out of this world! They remind you that mother nature is the real source of beauty and energy.
