Millions have seen the New Seven Wonders of the World. But why just see? Instead, embark on an unforgettable adventure to experience them in ways few even consider.
From hiking through Tijuca National Park to stand at the feet of Christ the Redeemer to cycling through desert landscapes to Petra, these immersive journeys connect you with the New Seven Wonders of the World like never before.
Hike to Christ the Redeemer, Brazil
Join our culture-packed Discover Brazil trip to experience both the rhythms of Rio and the atmospheric Amazon. Guided by an expert tour leader, our hike through Tijuca National Park leads through the forest, unlocking key sites including the Taunay Waterfall, Job de Alcântara Bridge and Mayrink Chapel, before reaching the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue and enjoying panoramic views of Rio.
The tour also visits the majestic Iguaçu Falls (one the Seven Natural Wonders of the World) and the jungle-backed town of Paraty. It ends in the Amazon with an immersive stay in a local community nestled within the Rio Negro Sustainable Development Reserve. The experience provides an authentic insight into the lives of the riverside communities who live here, including the Tumbira and Santa Helena do Inglês, whose livelihoods depend on fishing and tourism, and who you meet during your stay.
Walk the Great Wall, China
On our Walking the Great Wall adventure, the lesser-trodden section in Huanghuacheng reveals the scale of this remarkable piece of engineering, without being surrounded by crowds. The trek passes contrasting sections of the wall, with both dilapidated and rebuilt stretches and is situated in an incredibly picturesque location by a lake. The name Huanghuacheng translates as Yellow Flower City, as during summer the surrounding mountains are swathed in yellow as wildflowers bloom. The tour also visits the Jinshanling and Gubeikou sections of the Great Wall before exploring hutongs, Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City.
Trek the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, Peru
On our classic Inca Trail tour, you visit the Sacred Valley – the true heartland of Incan culture and tradition – including stops in Pisac and Ollantaytambo, as well as time to explore the imperial city of the Incas, Cuzco.
This trip is designed to maximise the time spent at Machu Picchu with an early morning tour of the ruins, quieter at that hour before the crowds of day trippers and other trekkers arrive.
Cycle Petra, Jordan
The Kingdom of Jordan is the perfect place to combine a cycling tour with some of the best sites in the Middle East. Our Petra & Wadi Rum by Bike adventure takes a trip back in time to when Romans roamed and Nabateans built one of the most unusual cities in the world, Petra. The route passes olive groves and hilltop villages in the north, before reaching the UNESCO-recognised Petra, to explore the site from all angles. Walking down the narrow Siq, through a sandstone chasm, El Khazneh (the Treasury) is revealed, before passing the houses and tombs of the rich citizens, the amphitheatre, the higher caves and the High Place of Sacrifice for a fantastic panorama of the whole site.
Discover Chichén Itzá, Mexico
On our 14-night Mexico: Maya, Aztecs & Conquistadors trip, you discover Mexico’s lost civilisations, Spanish colonial heritage, natural beauty and a rich culture. Highlights include exploring Chichén Itzá, which served as the political and economic centre of the Maya civilisation. The pyramid of Kukulkan, the Temple of Chac Mool, the Hall of the Thousand Pillars and the Playing Field of the Prisoners can still be seen today and demonstrate an extraordinary commitment to architecture, space and composition. The pyramid was the last, and possibly greatest, of all Maya pyramids.
The tour also includes a visit to the magnificent historic centre of Mexico City, an immersive cookery course in Oaxaca, a relaxing ride on the canals of Xochimilco, and journey to the jungles and beaches of the Yucatan.
Roam the Colosseum, Italy
Join our Rome, Assisi & Magical Umbria – Premium Adventure to experience the beauty of Italy in full. Starting in Rome, you are met by a certified guide for a tour of the most spectacular landmarks, including the largest ancient amphitheatre ever built, the Colosseum, before seeing the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and more. There is free time for lunch before a private transfer away from the city buzz to Abbazia Collemedio – a peaceful resort in the Umbrian countryside.
From here, you explore the Green Heart of Italy, an area surprisingly undiscovered by the tourist masses. Between gentle walks through the countryside and medieval villages, there are visits to Assisi and Perugia to sample fine wines and craft beers, enjoy a hands-on Italian cooking class and relax in the resort spa.
Explore the Taj Mahal, India
On Highlights of Northern India, you visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise to enjoy the serenely beautiful building in all its glory. The white-marble exterior changes colour according to the position of the sun and is matched by the rich interior detail. Nearby is the imposing Red Fort of Akbar, with mighty sandstone walls that enclose the beautiful white marble Pearl Mosque, palaces, halls, courtyards and fountains.
The tour also visits the ‘Pink City’ of Jaipur, home to Maharaja’s Palace and the hilltop Amber Fort and offer an early morning boat ride along the ghats of Varanasi in search of tigers.
