Diving for couples in Belize<\/h3>\n

Belize<\/strong>, well-known for the marvels of its landscape, such as the\u00a0<\/span>Mayan cities\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>of Alt\u00fan Ha, Cahal Pech and Xunantunich, is also brimming with marine treasures, making the diving here totally irresistible. The\u00a0<\/span>Great Blue Hole<\/strong>, the region\u2019s most famous\u00a0<\/span>underwater sinkhole<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>measuring 300 metres wide and 120 metres deep, is located off the Belize coast. It has long been an object of\u00a0<\/span>fascination<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>amongst braver divers.<\/p>\n

This bewitching circle, intense blue in colour, is an environment teeming with life to explore: turtles, brightly coloured fish and other sea creatures such as the nurse sharks that swim freely amongst the corals in these waters explored by\u00a0<\/span>Jacques Cousteau<\/strong>. In 1971, this legendary naval officer ventured into the depths of the\u00a0<\/span>Great Blue Hole<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>which he described as one of the ten best diving spots in the world!<\/p>\n

In pursuit of the Northern Lights in Alaska<\/h3>\n

The \u201cLast Frontier\u201d is less than two and a half miles away from\u00a0<\/span>Russia<\/strong>, and full of otherworldly landscapes. Alaska is a place where you can truly escape \u201cinto the wild\u201d as Sean Penn did in the film.
The region counts no less than\u00a0<\/span>17 national parks<\/strong>, home to a stunning natural diversity. Rugged mountain ranges loom over the horizon and their reflections play on the\u00a0<\/span>clear waters\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>of round glacial lakes.<\/p>\n

Alaska has an astonishing wealth of\u00a0<\/span>wildlife<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>including the\u00a0<\/span>bald eagle<\/strong>, the US national emblem, reindeer and bears. It is also perfect for a romantic getaway in search of the celestial dance that is the\u00a0<\/span>Aurora Borealis<\/strong>. It is most often seen during the autumn, when the meteorological conditions are most favourable. But from August onwards, you might be lucky enough to catch the first glimpse of the season of this spectacular light show.<\/p>\n

Cambodia, Myanmar<\/strong>\u2026 All you need to do is set foot in these countries to chance upon\u00a0<\/span>oases of beauty<\/strong>, far from the crowds of tourists. A journey to the heart of Cambodia is not complete without a visit to the city of\u00a0<\/span>Siem Reap<\/strong>. Although often passed over by those heading to the\u00a0<\/span>temples of Angkor<\/strong>\u00a0a few miles away, this city is a gateway to Cambodian culture. The mysteries of the\u00a0<\/span>Khmer civilisation<\/strong>\u00a0are treasured here! What\u2019s more, Siem Reap is surrounded by a\u00a0<\/span>breathtaking jungle<\/strong>\u00a0in which nestles Tonl\u00e9 Sap Lake, one of the region\u2019s unmissable sights.<\/span>
For an insight into traditional\u00a0<\/span>Myanmar<\/strong>, visit the city of\u00a0<\/span>Monywa<\/strong>\u00a0home to\u00a0<\/span>Thanboddhay Pagoda<\/strong>, an immense structure containing more than\u00a0<\/span>582,000 Buddhas<\/strong>, or\u00a0<\/span>Mandalay<\/strong>\u00a0and its Water Festival, where, every April, locals throw themselves into the water as a cleansing ritual to welcome in the new year; both are well worth a trip. It is also possible to take an excursion to the summit of\u00a0<\/span>Mount Popa<\/strong>. This volcano in the heart of the country is 1,518 metres high and offers an unbelievable view across the Burmese landscape. It is considered as a refuge of the country\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>37 great nats\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>(spirits) and is a popular pilgrimage site.<\/span><\/p>\n
