]]> Whether you’re a risk-taker who enjoys sampling unfamiliar cuisine or you prefer to stick with ingredients you know, food is an essential part of any travel experience. Some destinations, like New York, Paris, and Rome, have well-established reputations as gastronomic hotspots, but that doesn’t mean that good food can’t be found elsewhere. In fact, there are plenty of lesser-known destinations that can give these cities a run for their money. Read on to learn more about our favorite underrated food destinations.

Oaxaca, Mexico

In the mountains of southern Mexico, Oaxaca offers food-loving travelers the opportunity to sample a lesser-known side of Mexican cuisine. The city’s rich culinary heritage is shaped largely by native ingredients such as corn, beans, and fresh herbs, with many dishes prepared using traditional smoking methods. Most popular among them is mole, a spicy sauce made with seeds, nuts, and sometimes even chocolate, ground together and served over meat and tamales.

Chengdu, China

While Beijing and Shanghai tend to steal the culinary spotlight, Chengdu sits quietly in China’s Sichuan province as a secret haven for spice enthusiasts. As local tradition dictates using liberal amounts of garlic, chili, and the indigenous Sichuan pepper in most dishes, cuisine in the region is flavorful and bold, with meats and rice typically serving as a base. Try some authentic Kung Pao chicken, or stick with hot and sour noodles for a vegetarian option.

Porto, Portugal

When it comes to food destinations in Europe, Italy and France reign supreme, but Portugal can also certainly hold its own. Porto, in particular, has a unique gastronomic charm influenced heavily by the city’s position along the Atlantic coast. Fresh seafood and wine serve as staples within the local dining culture, with hearty soups and sandwiches filling in some of the more casual gaps. One of our favorites is Francesinha, a sandwich of toasted bread and cured meats, topped with melted cheese and a ladle of spiced tomato broth.

]]> Travel is what you make of it—from the beaches of Cancun to the deserts of Morocco, every place has its own unique characteristics that have the potential to leave a lasting impression, but rare are those so extraordinary that they can only be described as once-in-a-lifetime. Whether you’re looking to plan a special vacation or just want to add some new places to your bucket list, read on to learn more about some of the most incredible destinations worth visiting at least once in your life. 

Uyuni Salt Flats, Bolivia

Spanning over 11,000 kilometers, the Uyuni Salt Flats in the Andes of Bolivia stand as a colossal mirror that reflects the sky above. While the flats appear bright white when dry, during the rainy season, a thin layer of water collects and creates the optical illusion of an infinite landscape. Beyond being an incredibly cool experience, they also make for great photos. 

Vatnajökull National Park, Iceland

Iceland has no shortage of sights and attractions worthy of a spot on every traveler’s bucket list, but for a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience, the Northern Lights alone are worth the trip. The Lights can be seen from many locations around the country, but for optimal viewing conditions, we recommend getting out of the city and into the wilderness at Vatnajökull National Park, a massive nature reserve largely free of light pollution.

Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda

Volcanoes National Park in East Africa is a dream destination for adventurous travelers with a penchant for wildlife. The expansive stretch of rainforest is home to about 1,000 mountain gorillas, and each day, a limited number of visitors are able to embark on a journey to witness these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Combined with the breathtaking beauty of the landscape, a trek through the park is sure to leave a lasting impression.
