#1 Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Costa Rica

You can also visit the Jaguar Rescue Center, which rehabilitates all types of local wildlife. There is something for everyone here.
#2 Kotor, Montenegro
You've probably never heard of Kotor before, but this wonderful medieval town is a must-see if you are passionate about history and at the same time don't want to give up on beautiful natural landscapes.
Surrounded by fascinating mountains, the city will surprise you with its cobblestone streets, medieval churches and baroque palaces, all of which are hidden within their historic walls - a real treasure Montenegro.
In addition, the bay of Kotor (on the waters of the Adriatic), built by the Romans and improved by the Venetians, is one of the 10 most beautiful bays in the world and has been recognized by UNESCO as one of the most beautiful ancient cities in the world.
#3 Luxor, Egypt
When you go to Egypt, you don't want to miss out on the insane historical treasures such as temples and archaeological sites. Good news: Luxor, the largest open-air museum in the world, is open to international visitors.
Luxor is located on the east bank of the Nile River in southern Egypt and is the place of ancient Thebes - the capital of the pharaohs. In addition to the tombs of the nobles and their stunning temples, Luxor is also home to the Karnak - a large complex of shrines, kiosks and obelisks dedicated to the god of ancient Thebes. Fly over Hurghada - another incredible city. It is located in the middle of Luxor, as well as Cairo, the Egyptian capital.
#4 Dominica, Caribbean
With its natural hot springs and tropical rainforests, waterfalls, lakes, valleys and rivers, it is not difficult to understand why Dominica is called 'the natural island of the Caribbean'. This mountain island has indeed become an untouched paradise for divers, hikers, and nature lovers. But you won't find just that! Dominica is famous for its incredible cultural heritage comprised of British, French and West Indian cultures, not to mention the largest community of Carib Indians in the eastern Caribbean.
#5. Amsterdam, Netherlands
We must not forget to mention the city where, thanks to its blooming tulips, one can find the most impressive explosion of colours: Amsterdam. At the centre of these colours are the Keukenhof Gardens; an unforgettable sight. The climate in Amsterdam is mild even in the spring and is perfect for cycling and exploring the craft cafes, independent shops and numerous museums - from the Anne Frank House to the Van Gogh Museum.
#6. Ruaha National Park, Tanzania
Have you always wanted to go on a safari? This is your chance!
As the largest national park in Tanzania, Ruaha is home to lions, giraffes, zebras, jackals, the bat ear fox and above all elephants (around 12,000 elephants roam the Ruaha ecosystem every year).
What makes this place perfect even after the pandemic is its seclusion. The Ruaha National Park is right in the center of Tanzania, so doesn't have large crowds and allows you to have a more authentic experience exploring Tanzania.
