"Well, it might be time to grab that passport. The next logical step is to start visiting national parks in other countries - the ecological wonderland of the Galapagos Islands, Croatia's electric-blue Plitvice Lakes, perhaps Kaz Dağları in Turkey (a setting in Homer's "The Iliad"), as scenic as it is difficult to pronounce."
"Travel + Leisure has put together a handy shortlist of foreign parks worth visiting for their bounty of sight seeing, adventure and wildlife. The 10 picks are based on the recommendations of travel advisors. "If you've checked a few of America's favorite national parks off your list," the magazine's Elizabeth Cantrell writes, "and are looking for an adventure further afield (and some great photos for Instagram), set your sights on the stunning protected lands outside the U.S.""
For visitors who have completed all 63 major U.S. national parks, international destinations offer the next adventure. Travel + Leisure compiled a curated list of ten foreign national parks recommended by travel advisors, featuring diverse ecosystems and wildlife. These destinations span continents from the Galapagos Islands' ecological wonders to Croatia's Plitvice Lakes with their distinctive blue waters, Turkey's historically significant Kaz Dağları, and African reserves like Namib-Naukluft in Namibia. The selection emphasizes scenic beauty, adventure opportunities, and wildlife viewing experiences, providing completists with compelling alternatives for continued exploration beyond U.S. borders.
