What did you do for your last vacation? Did you have a blast? Did you find excitement? Was there some quiet time too or did your last vacation consist of being the taxi for your family, working on the yard and other household chores? Was your last "vacation" more of a "staycation"? Why not do something different this year? Next time you have a few days off, why not test one of the local adventure travels. Most likely, there are many adventures to be had in your home state. If you have the funds, why not spend a little on yourself and have a true adventure? Here are some adventure travels that are well-known favorites.

It may be hard to believe, but some cruises are considered adventure travels. Some available cruises have target destinations, such as Europe or the Greek Isles, which can be excellent ways to journey out and acquire information about the great moments in history and touring historical locations. Don't you want to see where the first Olympic games were held? Don't you want to see Stonehenge up close? You can even stay active while on the boat itself. These cruises typically have options to do things - like rock climbing and sea diving. You can do much more than lie on the lido deck! Do you enjoy sightseeing? Do you love being able to tour places you've only read about in books? Why not go on a sightseeing adventure travel to a destination you have always dreamed of going to? Trendy tourist destinations include Greece, Rome, Ireland and Scotland, Africa, China and Tibet. Obviously there are sightseeing tours in nearly every country in the world, so just make a decision about where you want to go and book a touring trip! Allow someone to guide you through your chosen country's culture and history.

Take a Llama Trek! Everybody can ride a horse. If you want some wacky adventure travels without leaving the US, you can opt for the Hurricane Creek Llama Treks in Oregon. During these treks, you camp outdoors and you are responsible for bringing your own equipment (and setting it up/taking it down) and packing and unpacking your llama bags. These are great trips because you can either ride your own llama in the Oregon wilderness or you can walk the trails and lead your llama behind you. When else in life are you going to have the chance to go for a llama ride?

Adventure travels are not required to be large-scale, posh and preposterous. Some of them include daytime excursions, while coming back to a tranquil environment for the evening. The main goal of an adventure vacation is to have a blast and be active. Favorably, there are adventures for every walk of life to do - even they have a short vacation time to embark on the endeavor. When the time comes to layout your next vacation plans why not think about taking a walk on the adventurer's side? Next time, you can opt for the relaxing spa.
