Top Trips for Exploring the Most Remote Places on Earth
Get off the beaten path and discover what it’s like to travel in remote destinations around the globe with one of these Culture Trip adventures.
The world is a large place, but at times it feels as though few destinations haven’t been uncovered. Indeed, our frontiers are always shrinking, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still travel to the most remote places on earth. From the endless deserts of Morocco to the isolated but biodiverse islands of the Galapagos, we’ve compiled our top Culture Trips for exploring the most remote places on Earth.
The Galápagos Islands, for mind-blowing wildlife encounters
Have you always wanted to travel to the edge of the known world? Book onto this five-day Galápagos Islands tour and you’ll have the opportunity to explore one of the most remote archipelagos in the world. Your tour starts in Santa Cruz, where you’ll snorkel into the deep Itabaca Channel before visiting giant tortoises in El Chato nature reserve. You’ll spend the rest of the trip island-hopping, as you snorkel with sea lions, trek through lava fields and search out the rare, endemic wildlife of the Galápagos that inspired Charles Darwin.
Georgia, for serene mountain peaks and luscious valley forests
Join us on the fringes of Europe and Asia for a serene retreat high in the Caucasus Mountains. It’s rare to find a mainland country that has yet to go mainstream, but Georgia is it. We’re not convinced that this secret is going to be kept for much longer, so take advantage while you can and join us on a nine-day tour that includes trekking through the verdant forests of Lagodekhi National Park and hiking to the spectacular Gergeti Church, standing proudly below snow-clad Mount Kazbegi. Even Georgia’s culture feels far-flung and undiscovered – you’ll get to learn about their ancient underground winemaking traditions, as well soak in Tbilisi’s wondrous sulphur baths.
