Lush Land

Want to try harvesting seaweed or keeping bees? Travel to Chile’s Ruta De Los Abastos. Visitors can get hands-on experience with agriculture. And they’ll meet food producers, such as farmers and people who fish. —By Sorrel Moseley-Williams

Roll Along

People who travel with Natural Selection’s Guided Cycling Safari see elephants, giraffes, and other amazing animals up close. The best part? The safari takes place on bikes. You’ll roll through beautiful Botswana, Africa, in style, covering 25 to 45 miles per day. —By Cindy Fan

All Aboard

The Diyarbakir Express offers a 24-hour ride across Turkey. Passengers snack on Turkish treats in the dining car while enjoying the changing scenery. Then they can hop off the train to see wall paintings from 3000 BCE and explore a town below a dormant (休眠的) volcano. —By Jennifer Hattam
