From California's legendary Death Valley to the lagoons around Bora Bora in French Polynesia, from Norwegian fjords to the Lascaux cave paintings, Great Destinations roams far and wide to find the world's most outstanding accessible locations. The natural and man-made wonders include such places as the waterfalls at Plitvice in Croatia, the striking rock formations in the marble caves on General Carrera Lake in Chile/Argentina, and the Sandstone Mountains in German Saxony. For every destination, there's geographical and historical background.
