<p>Baguio is known to be Philippines’ Strawberry Farm. It would only take the traveler a 6-hour bus ride from Manila. Its cold climate becomes the main reason of foreigners who are used to the cold to stay there. Baguio is filled many travel spots. In Mines View Park, one could explore the beautiful mountains around with a telescope. Even horse-riding is available at a certain price. </p>
<p>There are also many Igorots (an ethnic tribe) that allow travelers to take pictures with them and dress-up like them. And let us not forget the Strawberry Farm that every tourist never fails to visit. In it people could pick as many strawberries as they like at a very low price. Not only are they sweet but also affordable. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://hottraveldestinations.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/3.jpg' alt='3.jpg' align="left" height=190 width=220/>Antarctica is fast becoming a popular tourist destination primarily because of the appeal of its remoteness.  The beautiful snow caps, arctic animals and rugged terrain are a sight to behold.  Majority of travelers come on board cruise ships that usually stop at outlying islands just at the tip of the peninsula near South America.  This is the reason why most of ships traveling to Antarctica come from Ushuaia, Argentina.</p>
<p>Antarctic Peninsula including the Shetland Islands is generally the destinations of the cruises.  Other islands frequently traveled by tourists are King George Island, Livingston and Half Moon Islands and the Deception Island.  Traveling through the Antarctic circle allows tourists to claim that they have been to the South Pole.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://hottraveldestinations.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/2.jpg" alt="2.jpg" align="left" height="150" width="180" />Considered as one of the best spots to visit in South America, Chile is an enjoyable destination for the nature lover.  This country features various natural resources like volcanoes, parks and mountain ranges.  Chile is a long and narrow country that stretches 4200 km from its Northern point to its Southern tip that allows it to claim the title of the longest country in the world.  Despite its length, the country is only 240 km wide.</p>
<p>Andes is the main mountain feature of the country, which looks like an impassable wall.  There are about 50 volcanic peaks found in the Andes with the Atacama desert to the North and Santiago City to the South.  Chile is proud of its wine, which is one of its more famous products mainly due to its beautiful vineyards.</p>

If you have the opportunity to travel in February, you&#8217;ll be able to enjoy the ritual shaman performance, which represents the proverbial myth of 18,000 gods. As one of the most highly recognized practices on the island, the people of Jeju believe these demonstrations rid the world of evil and injustice.<span id="more-16"></span><br />

<p>Next, immerse yourself in the story of the three founding demi-gods at the Samseonghyeol Shrine, their birthplace. You�ll come across the burial altars and ring of stones created in their honor during the Ancient Tamna Kingdom in the 1500s, where celebratory rituals are still held each spring and fall. A little further down the same route is Tamna Mokseokwon, a provincial monument showcasing the unusual beauty of 20 natural trees befitting to their characteristics (such as Gosamok, the �Dead Tree�), 500 pieces of rock in the shape of a human head and other distinctive stones generally found around the island.Learn more:� <a href="http://www.travelsense.org/destinations/southkorea.asp">travelsense.org</a></p>

<p>If you are a mountain climber, you are sure to enjoy Chile. It is filled with volcanoes, mountains and mountain ranges. If you love wine, then Chile is the place for you. Its vineyards allow the country to produce great-tasting wines that may attract foreigners. These could be the perfect place for wine collectors to come to.</p>
<p>Interestingly, the country is also known to be the longest in the whole world though its width is quite short. Its two well-known national parks are The Juan Fernandez Islands and the Easter Island. Most of the dwellers in Chile are “mestizos” or a descendant of the Spanish blood. </p>

<p><span id="more-8"></span>The only problem with Mykonos is the beaches, for there are far                too many to highlight just one. On the south side of the island                alone are Ornos and Psarou beaches preferred by families, Agrari                for idyllic relaxation, Psarou for windsurfing, water-skiing and                diving, and Paradise and Super Paradise beaches for the young, the                beautiful and everyone in between. Whichever beach consumes your                day, your night should be spent on Paradise, where the entire beach                turns into a dance club that pulses with bodies until the sun comes                up.</p>

<p>Northeast of Seychelles off of India&#8217;s southern tip, the 1,102 islands that make up the Maldives combine to simply make all your tropical dreams come true. From four-star resorts to diving 80-feet deep in water so clear you&#8217;ll try to take off your mask and breathe it like air (but please don&#8217;t),                the Maldives are perfect to escape from the real world and find                yourself enveloped in a palm-fringed fantasy.</p>
<p><span id="more-7"></span>Ihuru Island typifies the tropical ambiance that abounds in the                Maldives. The island is so small you can casually stroll around                it in 10 minutes flat, enjoying the feel of crunchy sand underfoot,                the shade of palm trees hovering close and the play of fish and                coral just a few meters into the calm turquoise sea. However, the                island provides sensational snorkeling and windsurfing, along with                a terrace bar where each evening you can relax in complete tranquility                while watching the twinkling lights on the nearby islands play atop                the waters.</p>
