Reseña del editor

For more than a decade, the intrepid team from the award-winning series "Globe Trekker", broadcast on American Public Television and major television networks Worldwide, has journeyed to countries from every continent on the globe. Here we have their insider best-of-the-best list, fully illustrated in lavish colour and organized by month. Readers can plan ahead to experience the most flamboyant festivals, adventurous treks, spectacular beaches, and most happening places. Armed with the "Globe Trekker's World", you'll move your trip from mundane to memorable, whether joining in colourful native celebrations at the Goroka Show in Papua New Guinea in September, hiking through awesome scenery during the fall in New England, luxuriating in solitude on a pristine beach in the Philippines in December, or travelling to London in May for the best events, deals, and least crowds. But this book doesn't just list places to see before leaving this lifetime - it conveys why. Abundant photographs accompany the descriptive text, giving an entertaining introduction to the region. It also offers background history as well as practical information on the event or activity, what to bring, what weather to expect, and other things to do nearby. Additional extensive listings of other great beaches, outdoor activities, and festivals cover every safely traversable country on earth, from Austria and Azerbaijan to the United States and Zambia. As an added bonus, a free, professionally produced DVD, "Great Festivals", is secured inside each book. With a running time of more than one hour, this round-the-world tour delivers a year of fantastic festivals.
