While travel in 2021 was restricted to short drives by car, leave alone flying, or subdued champagne toasts with the family, 2022 looks even more challenging as borders open tentatively only to be shut again. In these conditions, it is even more challenging to maintain the list of places to visit in 2022.

2. North Cascades National Park, USA

If you are looking for an outdoor excursion without the crowds, the rugged beauty of the North Cascades National Park in Washington State will leave you spellbound. This is a place of unparalleled beauty and surprisingly, one of the least visited in America.

3. Turku, Finland

Turku lies a couple of hours from the capital Helsinki and is nestled conveniently on the edge of the archipelago of a thousand islands. This is one of the oldest cities of Finland and prides itself in winning awards for renewable energy from time to time.

The promenades and riverside streets are lined with upscale bars and restaurants, ideal for a holiday in the long northern summer evenings. Take time out to jump on a ferry and navigate between the collection of 6700 islands to Aland, an autonomous region of Finland.

4. Rapa Nui, Chile

The Dutch landed on the famous South Pacific island of Rapa Nui, and 2022 will mark 300 years of their arrival. This special territory of Chile is known for the giant stone faces and was shut to visitors during the pandemic, but is set to reopen in February.

This long and thin strip sandwiched between the Andes mountains and the Pacific Ocean, Chile has long been a forerunner in outdoor adventure and ecotourism. For wildlife lovers, the Chaxa Lagoon in the Los Flamenco National Reserve is the country’s crown jewel.

5. AWESOME ALASKA

You can explore the farthest reaches of the Last Frontier on this late summer adventure trip starting from the wilds of Denali National Park to rustic camps of the Arctic Circle to watch the Northern Lights. Moreover, the tourism board of Alaska has predicted that more than one and a half million cruise ship passengers are likely to land in the southeast during the summer of 2022.

Apart from viewing the Aurora Borealis, another similar phenomenon called the Alpenglow can be seen. This is formed when the rays of the sun form a purple hue behind the mountains as they reflect off the ice crystals. Alaska also has fascinating wildlife and many volcanoes to explore.
