Lying on a beach at sunset, sipping a mojito is awesome and I won't deny it. City breaks? I've nothing against cold beer and ceviche in Panama City or schiacciata alla fiorentina and espresso in Florence, especially if you're paying. But would I choose a nature trek over a city break or beach holiday any day of the week? Absolutely I would.
Relaxing holidays have their place, but nothing fuels my fire quite like pitching a tent in the desert, climbing mountains or rapelling down a cliffside when I'm on vacation. I'm not talking about an afternoon of ziplining or jet skiing here, I mean exploring wild spaces in hiking boots, or skis or belay. Getting off the beaten track with an active vacation rejuvenates your mind and your body and is a unique way to see new places.
