Escape the Ordinary, Explore the Exotic
BERKELEY, CA (August 2006)—Join Backroads in Africa, Asia & the Pacific or Latin America and venture off the beaten track, explore exotic lands, and experience unique and diverse cultures. Why Backroads? Just listen to our guests: "In my opinion, Backroads is the only way to really see China..." "We experienced Morocco in a way that I'm sure few people do..." "Our Costa Rica trip was not like a tour, but rather like visiting very good friends in a country where they want to show you their favorite people and places.."
All Backroads trips provide the perfect balance of activity, relaxation, spectacular surroundings and rich cultural encounters. The 2007 lineup of Exotic Escapes is no exception. Here's some of what's in store:
Soak up the wonders of Kauai on a new trip featuring some of the best hiking this stunningly beautiful island has to offer.
Discover landscapes of contrasting beauty, from architecturally rich Lijiang to the lush lake-dotted hills of China's Yunnan Province to the arid rugged Tibetan Plateau on a new walking & hiking trip to Tibet & Yunnan.
Relax at laid-back lodgings in spectacular settings on new Casual Inn Trips to Peru (hike along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu), New Zealand (tramp through the South Island) and South Africa (bike, walk and safari!).
