Sea and mountains: 5 best places in the world where you can radically diversify your trip

Morocco: the bazaars of Marrakech and the serene surf of Essaouira

Marrakech with its colorful bazaars is undoubtedly one of the most vibrant cities in Morocco. However, in order to feel its flavor, try mint tea and delicious tajines, buy trinkets and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a carnival, a few days are enough.

And just three hours drive from Marrakech there is its complete opposite - Essaouira. Atlantic, surfing, French cuisine and the freshest seafood are all about a bohemian vacation in this Moroccan city.

Montenegro: rafting on a mountain river and a Mediterranean vacation

Montenegro is an ideal place to combine the sea and mountains, and rafting on the turquoise river Tara is an ideal start to the journey. First you need to get to the town of Zabljak, which is the center of mountain tourism. Well, then what’s enough for imagination: hiking in the mountains, hiking to one of the 18 glacial lakes, exploring the Durmitor National Park and its environs.

And after such impressions you can relax in the old town of Kotor, enjoy its medieval architecture and take a walk along the promenade. And it is better to get from Zabljak by a rented car or bus: this way you can fully enjoy how the landscape changes outside the window, and instead of green hills with small farms, stone buildings and the shimmering dark blue expanse of the Adriatic Sea will appear.

Kenya: not only safari, but also rainforest

Of course, Africa is primarily associated with wildlife. The capital of Kenya, Nairobi indulges tourists with entertainment, but the most impressive for which they go to Kenya is the Great Migration. Since mid-summer, about two million zebras, gazelles and antelopes have been fleeing from drought to the Masai Mara National Park in Kenya. And it seems that what could be better than seeing a herd of wild animals? But no, this spectacle does not end there: the herds are chased by predators. So here you can witness the real battle between the lion and the antelope and see with your own eyes how quickly the cheetah catches up with its victim.

And for those who do not want to be limited to safari, you can go to the mountains of Kenya, where you can see tropical forests and waterfalls. It is simply magical if you rent a hotel room, which is located right next to the ponds, where wild animals come to the watering place.

USA: Spain and France in the shower

Northern California is incredible, its landscape is changing every minute. San Francisco is especially beautiful: a pier with yachts, a fishing pier and, of course, the Golden Gate Bridge. But after exploring popular attractions, you can go to the Mission District and see Mexico! This is the real quarter of Hispanics: there are museums that collect Latin American collections, and restaurants that are loved by everyone, serving tacos, tortillas and salsa, as well as building facades painted by street artists.

Well, after the expressive Mission District, you can go to the Napa Valley, which is just an hour away from San Francisco. A walk through the vineyards, orchards and a tour of the wineries is the best conclusion to the trip. Napa grape farms were founded by Franciscan monks several centuries ago, and the wine here is excellent today.

Australia: Asian Exotic and Desert Ride

In Australia, you can find a piece of Asia and ride through the desert. In the north of the country there is the city of Darwin, which is more like Southeast Asia than Australian cities. It is a true city of art, markets and multinational food. You can taste Malaysian laks and drink it with tropical juices with live music on the city beach.

Well, then you can go on a journey through the desert and see the sacred mountain for the Australian natives Uluru. It really is impressive: a gigantic mass of red sandstone, and there is only a desert plain around which you can not see the end and edge. Well, in addition to Uluru, it is worth going on an excursion led by rangers who will talk about the geology, wildlife and plants of Australia and even show ancient cave paintings in caves.
