Roughly 900 miles off the coast of Lisbon, this Portuguese archipelago can inspire wanderlust with a single photo. The verdant valleys, steep oceanside cliffs, rows of blue hydrangeas, and scattering of waterfalls make the Azores a paradise worth exploring.

Africa’s highest peak seems more striking than a lot of other famous mountains because it’s an ancient stratovolcano that’s not part of any mountain range.

As a bonus, the peak requires no technical mountaineering skills to summit, so even novice hikers can cross this item off their bucket list.
