Croatia: Plitvice Lakes National Park
In a valley surrounded by forested mountains, lies the Plitvice Lakes National Park, sixteen lakes of karst origin, which reflect, in
a series of cascades and waterfalls, the lush vegetation of one of the most
remarkable natural areas in Croatia. Streams and small rivers feed the lakes,
whose crystal limpidity between the green and blue, has been registered as a
UNESCO World Natural Heritage site since 1979.
Finland: the Aland islands
A natural wonder of more than 6000 islands, islets and red granite reefs, provides some of the most little known glimpses of Scandinavia,
all only two hours ferry from Stockholm. It is the Alands archipelago in the Gulf of Bothnia, bridge over the Baltic sea between the coasts
of Sweden and Finland.
Portugal: trip to Sagres and Cape St Vincent in Algarve
Our trip to the Algarve doesn't consider the most popular part of the coast of Portugal,
but is concentrated in a western strip among the little towns of Aljezur, Sagres
and the village of Burgau, travelling along the perimeter of the South-West Alentejo and Vincentine Coast Natural Park.
