50 of the World's Best Guided Expeditions
The golden age of exploration continues: 125 years after the birth of National Geographic, after Hiram Bingham rediscovered Machu Picchu, after Jane Goodall observed that chimps fashioned their own tools, after Spencer Wells used genetic data to trace the human family tree, explorers continue to extend the frontiers of geography and science. Travelers have joined the movement, pushing beyond the boundaries of mainstream tourism, exploring the planet as never before. To commemorate the occasion, we scoured the globe for the guided trips that best embody this inquisitive spirit for Traveler's eighth annual "50 Tours of a Lifetime." Ready? Set? Explore.
