"Not everyone can be national-parks completists—people who have visited all 63 of the major U.S. ones (and yes, many such individuals exist.) But for those who have indeed crossed 'em off, where to venture next? 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 Daglar in Turkey."
"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, 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 those who have completed visits to all 63 major U.S. national parks, international destinations offer compelling alternatives. Travel + Leisure compiled a curated list of ten foreign national parks recommended by travel advisors, featuring diverse ecosystems and wildlife. Notable destinations include the Galapagos Islands' ecological wonders, Croatia's striking Plitvice Lakes with electric-blue waters, Turkey's Kaz Daglar with historical significance from Homer's Iliad, and parks across Zimbabwe, Ireland, Japan, Kazakhstan, India, Portugal, and Namibia. These protected lands provide exceptional sightseeing opportunities, adventure activities, and wildlife viewing experiences for travelers seeking new destinations beyond the United States.
