El Chaltén
El Chaltén sits at the edge of Los Glaciares National Park in Argentina’s Patagonia region, framed by the iconic peaks of Cerro Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre. Its remote location beside the Río de las Vueltas makes it a gateway to dramatic landscapes of granite spires, glacial streams and wide steppe plains.
Kasane
Kasane sits at Botswana’s northeastern edge, where the Chobe River meets the borders of Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Its development is closely tied to river transport, regional trade, and wildlife management.
Cochem
Along the banks of the Moselle River, Cochem is a charming village known for Reichsburg castle as well as its old town, with its half-timbered houses.
Riobamba
Located roughly in the center of the country, Riobamba is one of Ecuador's largest cities and the starting point of the scenic train ride to Nariz del Diablo (Devil's Nose). The city has a strong indigenous presence, which lends itself well to the open-air artisan market, and plenty of opportunities for mountainous activities such as hiking and mountain biking.
