Remarkable Treks is a compendium of exhilarating long-distance walks from around the planet – some lasting weeks, some lasting just a few days, but all of them set against spectacular backdrops.Remarkable Treks is a collection of the most jaw-droppingly scenic and challenging hikes from around the world. Following the same format as the award winning Remarkable Road Trips and Remarkable Bike Rides, Colin Salter has assembled 52 of the world’s top-rated trails.The treks range in length from one-day hikes, to three-day hikes, to walks of almost expeditionary length. Thankfully, some of the longer routes, such as the Continental Divide Trail in North America, which traverses the Rockies from Mexico to Canada, can be split up into sections. However for completists there are smaller challengers, such as the Pennine Way in England, which is never too far away from civilization, and by civilization we mean the pub.For the thrill-seeking backpackers there are the craggy peaks of Corsica (GR20), or the hike up to Everest Base Camp. And for history buffs there is the Inca Trail in Peru or the 5-day hike to the Lost City of Teyuna in Colombia.
