Some of us love the great outdoors more than anything else. We wish we could always be outside and one with nature. If you are one of these nature-lovers, Luxury Link offers affordable vacation packages to exciting locations that boast some of the most beautiful nature in the world.
New Zealand:
Mount Taranaki- This quiescent stratovolcano on the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island is located in Egmont National Park, and provides mountaineer novices with an achievable summit challenge.
Fox Glacier- The largest commercially-guided glacier in New Zealand, this stunning icy wonder can be viewed from a thrilling helicopter flight or an easy-paced guided walking tour. You can also participate in an overnight alpine trek or helicopter ice climbing trip.
Stirling Falls- Also known as Waimanu Falls, the world’s most magnificent waterfall is located in the famous Milford Sound. You can access Stirling Falls via a Milford Sound cruise or a Milford Sound scenic flight tour.
Canada:
Algonquin Park: Located in Ontario, the essence of this lush park is in its vast maple hills, rocky ridges, and various sparkling lakes. The best way to explore this park is by canoe or on foot. It’s the perfect place for nature enthusiasts and athletes alike.
Northern Lights: You can view the otherworldly splendor of the Aurora Borealis from the Northern provinces of Yukon, Northwest Territories, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and British Columbia. As long as the weather conditions are suitable, you’ll get to see this unforgettable natural phenomenon when you visit Northern Canada.
Red Sands Shore: This unique area is unlike anything else in Canada, as you will experience red sands, jutting red cliffs, and red clay roads as you explore Red Sands Shore. When it’s too cold for beaches, you can enjoy the island’s pastoral landscape and historic fishing villages and harbors.
Turkey:
Pamukkale: In Turkish, Pamukkale means “cotton castle.” It is a natural site in the Denizli Province of Southwestern Turkey, with hot springs and travertines, which are terraces of carbonate minerals left by the flowing water. People have bathed in the pools of Pamukkale for thousands of years, and just above lies the ruins of Hierapolis, once a Roman and Byzantine spa city.
Mount Nemrut: This 7,001-foot mountain in southeastern Turkey is famous for its large statues of Greek, Armenian, and Iranian gods like Vahagn-Hercules, Aramazd-Zeus, and Mihr-Apollo-Mithras. When you view this awesome historical site, you’ll also see statues of the ancestors of Antiochus I. If you’re a history buff and a nature-lover, this is a great destination.
Goreme Fairy Chimneys: Fairy chimneys are a fitting colloquial term for these rock formations, known formally as Cappdocia. This dreamy area of central Turkey was created by volcanic eruptions, lava flows formed tuff rock and wind and rain sculpted this rock into valleys with curvy cliff faces and point fairy chimneys.
Brazil:
Cachoeira da Fumaca: In English this 340-meter-tall waterfall is called “Smoke Falls” and is one of the country’s highest waterfalls. This stunning waterfall is located in Chapada Diamantina, a region popular for adventurers, named for the way the tiny waterfall is sprayed by the wind before touching the ground. Iguazu Falls: Also known as the Iguassu Falls and Iguacu Falls, these 275 individual drops provide a magnificent spectacle to tourists, locals, and indigenous inhabitants for centuries. You can get up close to this natural wonder on a special walkway or helicopter tours.

There are over 12 sub-regional ecosystems within the Pantanal, and each has its own unique characteristics. Tourists can enjoy horseback riding, hiking, exploring, and bird watching amongst diverse life when they visit the Pantanal Wetlands.
