I've been fascinated lately about remote places to visit/vacation to.

 

I have done a bit of internet research and whatnot.. The best island I have been to is Margarita Island, Venezuela.. and I've been to Victoria, Vancouver Island in Canada. Not exactly remote, they are major tourist islands.

 

But I have been seriously looking into remote, isolated, sparsely populated attractions of late.. I was curious to know what other people from this worldwide forum have been to, and where you would like to go?

Greenland, Mongolia, Falkland Islands, even Kurguelen Islands?

It depends on what you like to do; and I want to hike, bike, birdwatch, and check out older Culture

 

Recently, the Faroe Islands seem to me to be a wonderful place to go. The Azores also.. Man what a great treat that would be. :o Lots of scenery and far removed from the world at large.

 

Easter Island has always gripped me, and to think maybe of riding a bike around the island sounds awesome, but doubt I'd ever make it there..

Hopefully next year I can make such an excursion.. I need to re-new my Passport, and hopefully I haven't been put on a No-Fly list <_<

 

Best remote places you've been?? and Places you'd like to explore??

Without question, the most beautiful, fascinating, and intriguing place I have ever been is Papua New Guinea. I think you could spend a lifetime there and still just barely brush the surface of all the different cultures. The land is rugged and outside of the few urban areas, practically pristine. If you do plan on hiking, you need to secure a guide, either through a traditional eco-tourism company, or if you feel frisky, you can spend some time in Port Moresby and get to know some locals and hire out a guide. I spent a few weeks there as the climbing/rappelling master with a team that searched for remains of downed WWII aircraft and personnel.

 

I've never been, but I saw an episode of No Reservations on Chile that really piqued my interest.

Some members here must be on the international security 'No Fly' list... <_< :D

 

There are so many cool places people should visit, and so many remote places people here have prolly visited that it would be well worth sharing ..
