The Exotic Escapes Issue, July 2008

Dear Traveler,

Exotic Escapes are by definition extraordinary adventures. Join us and discover the riches of Costa Rica's rain forests, alive with blue morpho butterflies, white-faced monkeys and scarlet macaws. Unleash your adventurous spirit during forays into the African bush on foot, by mountain bike and in private open-topped Land Rovers. Or explore New Zealand and experience legendary Kiwi hospitality amid tumbling glaciers, subtropical forests and white-sand beaches. In some regions, including Peru, Costa Rica and China, we offer more easygoing Insider Trips, which immerse you more deeply in a destination, absent the bikes and hiking boots.

However you choose to travel with Backroads, you'll find many great possibilities on our Web site. Or try out our new online catalog—you can flip through the pages of our 2009 Exotic Escapes Catalog right here in your Web browser with handy navigation tools that let you go forward and back through the pages, jump straight to a section or any page number, and zoom in or out on the pages. It's fun and easy!

For more help in choosing the trip that's right for you, just give us a call at 800-462-2848.

We look forward to welcoming you on a Backroads trip soon!
