From cattle-driving roundups to iceboating, hot air ballooning to llama trekking, Guttman's pictures depict the excitement and the beauty of adventures around the world; lucid prose fills in the gaps. While enjoying Guttman's photography from the comfort of your sofa, you get to try on for size diverse vacations, fantasize to your heart's content, and choose the one that suits you best.

This book is amazing. It includes the most gorgeous photographs, information on every place, the price, and the length of each activity. The author experienced it all himself. He chose very good places you've only imagined. He also helps you plan a trip with the directory at the back. It's incredible.
