Visually striking photographs, text, and insider tips encourage discovery and the pursuit of one-of-a-kind experiences to extraordinary but less-traveled destinations worldwide Secret Places is a much-needed alternative to overcrowded tourist spots and perfect for planning your crowd-free vacation. Readers are invited on an exciting journey of discovery, to the Stone Age on the Vega Archipelago, on a cart through Bagan, or on a hike in the Hajar Mountains, and beyond.
