BUGGY IN BAJA MEXICO

The Baja California desert covers almost 32 million acres. Past the sand dunes, there are exquisitely serene views of the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean. The best way to discover as much of this picturesque landscape as you can is via an all-terrain ATV (or Baja buggy, if you will). Venture into the depths of the desert to explore its natural, otherworldly beauty as you race around with the wind in your hair. After all that exhilaration, be sure to book the Ty Warner Mansion back at Las Ventanas al Paraíso for an in-suite massage in the mansion’s private massage pavilion. Baja buggy trip from $645 per person, Ty Warner mansion from $35,000 per night.

CAVE ENCOUNTER VIETNAM As the world’s largest cave system, Hang Son Doong can easily fit a Boeing 747 jet into its huge underground halls, and it even has its very own weather system. The cave is millions of years old, created by the mighty Rao Thuong River as it eroded the limestone, forming this enormous tunnel beneath the Annamite Mountains. Of course, a terrain of this caliber can be extremely challenging, but with this trip from Cookson Adventures, you’ll have expert guides on hand as you trek through this extraordinary natural phenomenon, as well as a photographer to capture the experience. Aboveground, you’ll visit the world’s largest temple, Angkor Wat; fly into the serene Ha Long Bay by seaplane; explore the lush jungle in Cambodia (with dinner under the stars); and go paddleboarding and kayaking through the emerald waters. Price on request. Contact Irene Lobo, adventure project manager, info@cooksonadventures.com, +44 207 736 0452, cooksonadventures.com
