Esplanade Park
Set in downtown Singapore and built in 1943, the historic Esplanade Park is one of the oldest of its kind in the country. The park is home to a great deal of historical landmarks and significant monuments, including the Cenotaph, Tan Kim Seng Fountain, Lim Bo Seng Memorial, Dalhousie Obelisk, Indian National Army Monument, and Queen Elizabeth Walk.

During the day, Esplanade Park is ideal for relaxing, or for taking a stroll and reflecting on Singapore's history at the Lim Bo Seng Memorial and the Cenotaph. By night, it's a great place to marvel at the Singapore cityscape and catch the impressive Marina Bay Sands light show.

Eje Cafetero, also known as the Coffee Triangle, famously produces some of the best coffee in the world. Running through the center of Colombia on the western end of the Andes Mountains, Eje Cafetero comprises the three departments of Caldas, Quindíó and Risaralda, all known for their unique hacienda architecture and friendly locals. The verdant, steep-sloped valleys of the region make it visually stunning as well.

The landscape makes Eje Cafetero popular for outdoor adventure sports, but the real reason to visit is to tour the coffee farms to see firsthand how the beans are grown, processed and transformed into that warm cup of joe. A few coffee haciendas offer guest accommodations, and you can quite literally wake up and smell the coffee.

El Altar Mountain
El Altar Mountain, called Kapak Urku (meaning "sublime mountain" in the indigenous language), is an extinct volcano on the western side of the Sangay National Park, about 106 miles (170 km) south of Quito. It's part of what is sometimes called the "Top Ten" in Ecuador, the group of peaks over 16,000 feet (5,000 meters) tall.
Spaniards named it the Altar because they thought it looked like a group of nuns and friars gathered at a church altar. The names of the individual peaks are also inspired by the Catholic religion: Bishop, Nun, Tabernacle and the Three Monks. El Altar is made up of nine major peaks arranged in a horseshoe-shaped ridge around a crater at about 13,800 feet (4,200 meters).
El Altar is perhaps the most-demanding climb in Ecuador, and December through February is the best time to attempt an ascent. The hike to the lake within the caldera of the mountain is more accessible.
For those who dare the climb, the views of Andean valleys, rain forests, active volcanoes, and hundreds of shimmering lakes all make the effort worth it.
Practical Info
There is a $10 fee to enter the park, which can be reached by bus from Riobamba.

Fimmvörðuháls Volcano
Positioned right between the Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull glaciers in southern Iceland, Fimmvörðuháls roughly consists of a 25-kilometer-long and 1,000-meter-high pass accessible to visitors between mid-June and late-August. Its location makes it one of the most sought-after hiking trails in the country, with some travelers opting for a six-day trip by adding in
Landmannalaugar and Thórsmörk nature preserves. The Fimmvörðuháls trail alone takes between eight and 10 hours to complete.
There are two mountain huts "“ the first one is modern and the second is quite rudimentary "“ along the route. The journey from Skógar to Thórsmörk is one of the most memorable hiking experiences in the country, if not the world, as it offers splendid panoramas of south Iceland, and of the new lava fields formed by the infamous Eyjafjallajökull eruption in 2010.
A small eruption actually took place at Fimmvörðuháls following months of earthquakes under the Eyjafjallajökull glacier, just a few weeks before the big outbreak. This eruption produced a 300-meter-long fissure on the northern part of the pass, creating two new craters that later on erupted toward Thórsmörk, briefly stopping tours and hikes in the process. A small reminder that Iceland, despite being on everybody's lips lately, is still a very wild, unpredictable place to travel to.
