Illustrated book - 100 dream journeys | Lonely Planet

Illustrated with sumptuous photographs, this book presents 100 unforgettable journeys around the world: complete changes of scene, grand natural spectacles, cultural treasures and adrenaline-filled challenges.

Continent by continent, Lonely Planet's authors select remarkable destinations, from famous places to little-known corners, nearby escapes to the edges of the inhabited world, and human creations to natural wonders.

• Take a road trip on Iceland's Ring Road, along South Africa's southern coast or through the spectacular geological formations of the national parks of the American West.
• Trek among Patagonia's glaciers, through the Colombian jungle or on Cape Verde's volcanic islands.
• Watch gorillas in Rwanda, lemurs in Madagascar or whales in Ireland.
• Visit pre-Columbian ruins in Peru, ancient Egyptian temples or Silk Road madrasas.
• Make a musical pilgrimage through Havana or New Orleans, the city of jazz.
• Swim in the turquoise waters of Portugal's Algarve or the Andaman Islands in Thailand.
• Glide over Patagonia's snow on a sled and contemplate the northern lights.
• Island-hop along Croatia's Adriatic coast, in the Bahamas or in the Philippines.
• Join an Antarctic expedition for an extreme experience.

The 100 destinations and experiences are organised by continent, with one to six pages each. Fifty receive particularly detailed treatment, including itinerary recommendations, a map and practical information on getting there and the best time to travel.
