13. Brazil (North)
Brazil (North)
Bahia, one of the largest Western Brazilian states, was the colonization center of the country, and the main reason for the fights between the European powers for two centuries to control and exploit the wealth of Brazil.
The name of Bahia is from the Bay of all the Saints (Bahia de todos os santos), where was erected the city of Salvador (its complete name is “Salvador da Bahia”). Salvador is impressive by its contagious energy, its sublime historical center and its incandescent carnival monopolizing all the attention and the honor.
It would be unfair to only talk about the region's important urban center. Bahia also includes many other sites to discover. The coastal wilderness and the very fashionable spots are mixed in total harmony.
On the North, the Coco Coast and its string of famous beaches: Arembepe, Imbassai, Costa do Sauipe and especially the famous, Praia do Forte. On the South, the islands of the Camamu bay. You can feel the effervescence of Morro de São Paulo in Tinharé, the most fashionable resort now, while on Boipeba, our favorite, you can enjoy the natural energy and beauty.
The Recôncavo spreads further inland with the agricultural area matching the contours of Todos os santos Bay. The elements of the flourishing economy of this area are simply cattle farming, a bit of tobacco culture, some vegetables and large quantities of sugar cane.
Many traces of the past can be seen in these different cultures, in Cachoeira, São Francisco de Paraguaçu, São Felix… A trip through the Recôncavo feels like time travel.

15. Bolivia
Bolivia
Bolivia. How can I talk about this country without falling into the trap of simplistic superlatives, or, more difficult still, without sounding contradictory? A few days ago, Apolino, an Amazonian boatman, summed up this unfathomable country for me by saying “BOLIVIA? TODO POSIBLE, NADA SEGURO!”
In other words, here, everything is possible (very true) but nothing is (ever) certain! Because Bolivia is everything and its opposite: fascinating and alluring, but also wearing because of the inevitable surprises, and puzzling, or even disconcerting, for a resident such as myself.

16. Argentina
Argentina
Argentina is located in the southern part of South America, bordered on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and by the Andes on the other side.
The breadth of the country, mainly from north to south (over 4500 km) gives a wide variety of colours, landscapes and climates. From the tropical heat to the freezing cold in the North of Antarctica; crossing rocky deserts and fertile plains, snowy mountains and sea coasts, the traveller will explore a diversity of landscapes.
Tango, Gauchos, Pampas, Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, Ushuaia, Maradona, Eva Peron, Fangio, Borges... So many mythical words evoke Argentina.
A great and affordable start to start your south American adventure!

19. Spain
Spain
There is no one single Spain, but several ones. If we cross the Iberian peninsula, we can notice the incredible diversity of this country. Spain is a mosaic of fascinating regions : the Basque Country and its Celtic roots, Andalusia and its Arab heritage, the dynamic Catalunya, the green Galicia or Valencia, where the famous paella was born. Meet its inhabitants who are welcoming and friendly, taste its wine, savour its gastronomy and celebrate its traditions is mandatory. It is well-known as a place where it feels good to live. From the Roman vestiges of Cartagena to Extremadura’s dehesas, from the Mezquita of Córdoba to the Gruta de las Maravillas in Aracena, there is a lot to discover, far from the usual clichés.
As you could understand, Spain is not only a « sol y playa » destination but also a place to go off the beaten track!
20. Portugal
Portugal
Land of great royal dynasties and famous explorers, Portugal is a destination marked by its impressive history of several millennia: Celts, Romans, Visigoths, Moors and more recently Christians left their mark on this small Iberian nation.
Cabral, Magellan or even Vasco de Gama have written a big page in Portuguese history that you can still feel nowadays.
With ocean, rivers, green valleys, famous vineyards and a generous sunshine during all the year, many are "the reasons-why" to visit this amazing country.
Portugal is waiting for you, do not make it wait any longer !

Bem-vindos!
22. Azores
Azores
In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, at the crossroads of the three worlds (Europe, America and Africa), lies the Azores, an archipelago of nine islands of volcanic origin, like nine multicolored diamonds set on the crystal clear water and caressed by the currents of the Gulf Stream.
Over the millennia, incessant earthquakes and volcanic eruptions have shaped the geography of the Azores, a world where dormant volcanoes are kings, lakes and craters of incomparable beauty, a dense and lush vegetation covering valleys and pastures, an intoxication of luminous colonial villages whose secret lives on in the rhythm of festivals and celebrations, a singing ocean inhabited by dozens of species of dolphins and whales.
The beauty of the Azores is boundless, purity and authenticity could sum up the atmosphere that reigns there, an atmosphere from the end of the world. Travelling to the Azores means discovering an exceptional natural and cultural heritage, a responsible tourism that protects its history, traditions and all the joy that Mother Earth has bequeathed to it.
A string of colors, shapes and reliefs, each island has its own identity to be discovered in one or more trips.
23. Croatia
Croatia
Why should you go to Croatia? This jewel of the Adriatic certainly has everything any traveller has ever dreamed of. Sunny beaches, high mountain peaks, rich natural, historical and cultural heritage. As well as wonderful gastronomy. However, the country wasn’t always so popular. Before the proclamation of its independence, this former territory of Yugoslavia didn’t benefit from such recognition. That’s not the case anymore. Is it its geographic composition, combining the Adriatic coast with the Dinaric Alps, or its pebble beaches and mountain chains that make it such a charming and sought-for destination? Or is it its local gastronomy, a mix of influences from Central Europe and Mediterranean cuisine that attracts so many tourists? Or is it simply its beautiful language? In any case, this country’s frontiers gather some of the most seducing territories across Europe. While Croatian history is represented by Split and Dubrovnik in the East, the hinterland presents you with the breathtaking landscapes of Istria and the Plitvice Lakes National Park. This amazing geographic composition would be enough to attract even the less curious of us. So what are you
waiting for?

25. Slovenia
Slovenia
Imagine a church, sitting on a little island in the middle of a turquoise blue lake, surrounded by green forests and, not far away, the white summits of the mountains. Charming, isn’t it? The tower of the church points like a finger to the blue sky, the church itself is surrounded by trees and on the banks of the lake, high up on a cliff, a castle sits imposingly, its red roof contrasting with the green of the trees. Can you imagine it? Well, this picture represents beautifully this wonderful country at the
crossroads of Southern and Central Europe: Slovenia. Slovenia, really? Don’t worry, you’re not the first ones to doubt it. Most of us wouldn’t even be able to situate this very little known country on a map. And yet... Often forgotten by the tourists, sitting in the heart of Europe, at the crossroads of Balkan, German and Hungarian influences, this small territory presents such a diversity that it could amaze even the most experienced of travellers. From its sapphire blue waters to its brownish stalagmite caves, passing by its green mountain chains and numerous local wonders, Slovenia is a true natural treasure. This image I asked you to picture yourself, is not fiction. It’s the Lake Bled, that perfectly represents the country’s will to preserve its natural heritage. This is
probably why Slovenia is called “the green lung of Europe.” I didn’t mention yet the country’s impressive multiculturalism, embodied by its capital city, Ljubljana,
its castle’s Ottoman architecture or its historical centre mixing German and Hungarian influences. To discover Slovenia is exploring a world where authenticity and heterogeneity reign supreme, far from the imperialism of mass tourism, further still from the “customer is king” mentality.
26. South Africa
South Africa
South Africa is one of the most diverse countries in the world: the 'Rainbow Nation' has 11 official languages, and its colourful population forms a patchwork of African, Asian and European culture.

However, the true lure of South Africa lies in its untamed wilderness. Home to the 'Big Five' of African wildlife (lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo and rhino), along with thousands of other species of plants and animals, big game safaris in nature reserves like Kruger Park and Hluhluwe National Park remain among the most visited place of interest.
