Trinidad and Tobago is a nation of contrasts, where vibrant cultural traditions meet diverse natural landscapes. Together, the two islands balance energy and relaxation, heritage and nature.

"The Roof of Thailand," Doi Inthanon National Park in Chiang Mai is where visitors will see Doi Inthanon, the country's highest mountain. Cold and humidity are factors due to high altitude, but the rich flora and fauna attract hearty tourists and birders alike. Stunning!

Maui, both second youngest and second largest of the Hawaiian Islands, is home to the world's largest dormant volcano, Haleakala, meaning "House of the Sun." Last erupting about 200 years ago, it makes up the eastern end of the island. Maui was formed by volcanic activity from Haleakala on the east and the West Maui Mountains to the west. The connecting isthmus between the two spots was formed from joining lava from both and gives Maui its nickname, the Valley Isle.

Eden Islet is a small volcanic tuff cone rising from the clear waters off the northwest coast of Santa Cruz Island. Though visitors cannot set foot on the rocks, the islet’s dramatic shapes and steep cliffs offer striking views as boats circle its perimeter. Guides often point out coastal mangroves and lava formations that hint at the volcanic forces that shaped this part of the archipelago.

Mount Nebo rises in western Jordan, overlooking the Jordan River Valley, the Dead Sea, and, on clear days, Jerusalem and Jericho.
