photo by atomicjeep on Flickr
Dubai is one of those places that first pop into mind when you think luxury travel. This small emirate, part of the UAE, is the size of a city state, and that’s what it feels like: a tiny, highly-concetrated den of luxury, glamor and modern architecture.
Although, you can find the best hotels in Dubai with Expedia.co.uk, but there is more to do on this pleasure city than shopping, gorging yourself on overpriced delicacies and lounging about poolsides.
Although Dubai is known mostly for catering to the rich and the lazy, more adventurous sorts will have plenty to do around here. Luxury and adventure in Dubai are definitely not mutually exclusive, so here’s what you can do during your holiday if you need to get a shot of excitement. …

Mayan ruins have always been surrounded by an aura of mystery and have never failed to attract the curious and the adventurous, but this yea (what with the end of the Mayan calendar and the presumed upcoming apocalypse), Mayan ruins are going to be especially popular.
So if you want to take advantage of the last chance to see the ruins, or (most likely) have something to brag about in 2012, then why not take a look at the Mayan ruins of Guatemala?
Tikal, the most famous one, is one of the largest pre-Columbian sites in the world and a tourist hotspot, but the smaller Mayan ruins of Guatemala that get less attention can still give you the feeling that you are the first person to step foot there in centuries. …

Tierra del Fuego, photo by Gilad Rom on Flickr
The Southern tip of the South American continent is one of the few places left on the planet where you can say that nature can truly follow its course. Patagonia, shared between Chile and Argentina, is a land of vast open spaces, wilderness, silence and towns and cities that seem to defy the often inhospitable environment.
The beautiful expanses of Patagonia managed to conjure up feelings of affection even in hardened criminals (and edventurers) like Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid. The steppe-like plains, the rainy Andes and the unmistakable flavor of the local culture make Patagonia one of the most fascinating destinations in the world. So pack your bags with warm clothes and study shoes and follow the adventurer’s guide to Patagonia. …
