Atlas Obscura: An Explorer's Guide to the World's Hidden Wonders

Inspiring equal parts wonder and wanderlust, Atlas Obscura takes readers off the beaten path and celebrates over 600 of the most curious and unusual destinations around the globe. From the dazzling glowworm caves in New Zealand to a Baobab tree in South Africa that is so large that it has a pub inside that comfortably accommodates 15 people, each entry is a foray into the weird, the unexpected, the hidden, the overlooked, and the mysterious. Also included are strange events - like the Baby Jumping Festival in Spain. The perfect gift for the armchair traveler and the die-hard explorer alike, it's a travel book unlike any other.
