A
While people are traveling more than ever, there are still unimagined adventures. Tom Hall, editorial director of Lonely Planet, shares some.
Sleep in a suspended pod
Calca, Peru
Hanging out in Peru takes on a whole new meaning when you book a room hanging from the side of a mountain. “Ive never seen anything quite like this before,” says Hall. “Youre overlooking the Sacred Valley, one of the most popular places to stay in the country.”
Trampoline (蹦床) underground
Gwynedd, Wales
Northern Wales has found a clever use for one of its old mines, turning a former industrial site into an underground trampoline park. Visitors find rope ladders and slides, and a line of trampolines spreading nearly a mile. “When my kids saw them they went crazy absolutely,” Hall says.
Surf down the side of a volcano
Cerro Negro, Nicaragua
Thrill⁃seekers dont need surf or snow on this active volcano. Tour companies bring visitors to the peak, which is covered with fine black ash. “You climb it up, jump on a board, and you go very fast for a long way. Its an exciting ride,” Hall says.
See art inside a bunker (地堡)
Berlin
Take in art and history at the Boros Collection—a private art gallery housed inside a World War Ⅱ bunker. The building, which once protected Nazi leaders, served as a nightclub after the fall of the Berlin Wall. “It was pretty hard to get rid of because its so well⁃constructed,” Hall says. “Now it has some very interesting and unusual art.”
