Far from the crowds, the cost, and the chaos of traditional tourist centers lie unspoiled earthly paradises just waiting to be discovered. David Yeadon knows these edens well, and in the National Geographic Guide to the World's Secret Places he takes you on a guided tour of them. Filled with glorious color images and the author's own black-and-white charcoal sketches, this unique travel planner describes 40 unspoiled spots around the globe, from remnants of Atlantis in the Azores to Ireland's wild Dingle Peninsula to the magical temple towns of India's Tamil Nadu. Each of these Shangri-Las possesses singular "inner journey" qualities that will captivate both armchair explorers and travelers seeking something a little richer and deeper in their wanderings. Maps and detailed information help plan each trip.
