A 30 minute domestic flight takes us from Gondar to Lalibela, where we stay for two nights. Lalibela is one of the world's greatest historical and religious sites in the Christian world. Between 1137 and 1270, several astounding rock-hewn churches were constructed in Lalibela. Whilst these churches are definitely Ethiopia’s top attraction the town of Lalibela, which lies in the Lasta Mountains at a height of 2630 metres above sea level, is a very isolated place. Lalibela’s churches are astounding...

When it comes to exercise, riding a bike has proven to be low impact and easier on your body than other exercises can be. With that in mind, we introduce the Lime bicycle by Trek ($500). As fun to ride as it is easy, the Lime automatically adjusts to your speed without the need to fiddle with levers like on your childhood ten speed. And now for the really cool part... the seat lifts up to reveal a hidden compartment perfect for holding wallets and cellphones. How neat is that. Oh, and have fun customizing...

In the first hours there was nothing, no fear or sadness, just a black and perfect silence. Nando Parrado was unconscious for three days before he woke to discover that the plane carrying his rugby team, as well as their family members and supporters, to an exhibition game in Chile had crashed somewhere deep in the Andes. He soon learned that many were dead or dying--among them his own mother and sister. Those who remained were stranded on a lifeless glacier at nearly 12,000 feet above sea level, with no supplies and no means of summoning help. They struggled to endure freezing temperatures, deadly avalanches, and then the devastating news that the search for them had been called off. As time passed and Nando's thoughts turned increasingly to his father, who he knew must be consumed with grief, Nando resolved that he must get home or die trying. He would challenge the Andes, even though he was certain the effort would kill him, telling himself that even if he failed he would die that much closer to his fa...

This title features 20 treks in wild terrain that is challenging, awesome in scope and has very little infrastructure. The trek lengths start at close to 100km (60 miles) and demand a minimum of five days to complete, so for all of them meticulous planning and expert guidance is often necessary. These adventurous hikes traverse every continent, from the russet hues of Alaska's autumn forests, along the spine of the Rockies from Canada to Mexico, through South America's remote, uninhabited mountains and valleys, to the craggy heights of Europe's Alpine region, across sacred Himalayan peaks and over the jagged escarpments of Africa and Australia's coastal tropical rainforest. Treks vary from an ancient pilgrim route, a trail on a frozen river, Macchu Picchu's mystical ruins, a yak-supported trek into the heart of the Himalayas and a summit expedition up Africa's snow peak, Kilimanjaro. Route maps and fact panels are included.
