Travel sites, such as KandooAdventures <\/a>often put a major focus on the touristy locations. And while there is nothing wrong with it, the world has many more things so offer, about which many people don’t know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of going to\ndestinations crowded with people, such as Paris or Santorini, why don’t you go\nto\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Colonia de Sacramento in Uruguay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Considered as one of the oldest cities in Uruguay, the history of Colonia de Sacramento<\/a> reaches as far as the 1600’s when the first Portuguese started to colonize it. This incredibly picturesque town is famous among Argentinians, as it is located only 180 km from Montevideo and 50 km from Buenos Aires, which you can bestride by ferry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The town full of colorful colonial houses and ancient fortifications is a perfect place to spend the weekend. However, beware that since most people visit it during the weekend, it might be challenging to find a place to sleep, so you need to plan it in advance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. C\u00f4n \u0110\u1ea3o in Vietnam<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This archipelago of\nislands which once served as a brutal French prison gets very overlooked when\nit comes to a vacation in Southeast Asia. Since it is located in a place where\ncold and warm oceans meet, swimming, diving and snorkelling are possible all\nyear round. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the C\u00f4n \u0110\u1ea3o\narchipelago is now a National Park, with many species of coral and sea turtles.\nFurthermore, the islands are full of magnificent beaches, lush tropical forest,\nclear water and coconut groves. And for those who want a little bit of luxury\nwhile on vacation, there is a five-star resort with 50 villas available for\nrent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Mondulkiri in Cambodia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This province located in the east of Cambodia<\/a> is its most sparsely populated province, despite being also the biggest one. Its population consists mostly of indigenous people whose way of life hasn’t changed in centuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full of natural\nbeauty, such as powerful waterfalls, thickly forested mountains and deep, pure\njungle with a great variety of flora and fauna, it is a perfect place to\nrespite from the city life. Its capital, called Sen Monorom, which is the only\ntown in the region, is very undeveloped. Combine it with tribes not affected by\nmass-tourism, and you have the perfect destination for adventure travellers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Punta Gorda in Belize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Punta Gorda is a\ncity located in the very south, which makes it very often overlooked by\ntourists. The city is rich in cultural diversity, with East Indian, Creole,\nMayan, Latin, Lebanese and Garifuna influences visible everywhere.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the perfect\ndestination for those who just want to relax and experience a life of simple\npleasures. Forget about your phone and fall asleep to the sounds of Garifuna\ndrummers. Guarantee that after a week there you will not want to leave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Rotterdam in The Netherlands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rotterdam<\/a> is probably not the first place that comes into your mind if you think about a holiday in The Netherlands<\/a>. The reason for it is that the city gets very often overlooked because of its larger neighbor – Amsterdam. Since the bombing largely destroyed the city during World War II, it was rebuilt and is now renowned for its bold and modern architecture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This city is a must on the travel list if you are a Eurovision fan, as it will be the host of the song contest in 2020. Rotterdam is also the underground music and street art Mecca. It is full of museums for those looking for culture, and interesting parks and spaces for those who go there looking for peace and quiet. Also check out the best hostels in Rotterdam<\/a> if you’re traveling on a budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Santiago in Chile <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chile is one of the most geographically diverse countries in the world, while its capital – Santiago<\/a> – is full of contrasting neighborhoods showing the diversity of the population inhabiting it. The city is home to many internationally known music and food festivals, such as Chile-based Lollapalooza. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city is full of original art galleries, handicraft markets, restaurants<\/a> and cafes. If you wish to get the real feel of the city, you can visit downtown. And if you are a fan of the outdoors, you can always visit the hills surrounding the city, and enjoy the panoramic view of the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Tel\u010d in Czechia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Often the smallest destinations are the ones that impress the most, and that seems to be the case with the city of Telc<\/a> located in the south of the Czech Republic, which was visibly influenced by Italian culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of its main attractions is the historic square surrounded by the Italian renaissance style houses painted in green, yellow and pink, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995. Besides the square, the city has a network of explorable tunnels<\/a> located underground, which once served as a connection between the town’s cellars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The world has so\nmuch to offer that we shouldn’t just restrict ourselves to holiday destinations\npopular among tourists, which tend to be very overcrowded and not enjoyable at\nall. Start thinking outside of the box, and you’ll be surprised at how many\nhidden gems there are in every country, even your own. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
