Top 20: Trips of a Lifetime

Discover the top 20 Trips of a Lifetime – we’ve curated a list of the knock-out places and experiences that should be on your jetsetting horizon. The pins on our map span all seven continents, and include everything from epic adventures like driving the Great Ocean Road to sites such as Machu Picchu

1. Yellowstone

In spring, bison move along the Madison River into the Hebgen Basin of West Yellowstone and feast on rich grasses. They give birth on the edge of lodgepole pine forests amongst a lattice of red willow branches that are preparing to bud after a long winter. It’s estimated that there were up to 60 million roaming the plains before European settlement; there are just 5,000 left — a sobering thought when you see these shaggy-haired creatures in the wild.

2. Mexico

The bloodthirsty rites, rich cosmologies and towering edifices of the once mighty Maya civilisation are the stuff of legend. At Chichén Itzá, there’s the sacrificial Platform of the Skulls, with its blood-curdling friezes of warring cadavers and stacked heads. Then there’s Ek’ Balam, decorated with intricate, symbol-laden friezes moulded in stucco; Uxmal’s well-preserved carvings on the Pyramid of the Magician and the Governor’s Palace; Cobá’s pyramid, which is one of the tallest in the region; and Calakmul — one of the trickiest sites to reach, but arguably the most atmospheric.
