The Virtuoso Traveler's Guide To Exotic Lands May 2016

---

ASIA » Thousands of stupas cover the countryside at Bagan; Near Chau Doc, Cham villagers welcome you; and Kathakali dancers in Kochi – their faces elaborately painted – perform choreographed movements that tell ancient Hindu myths. AFRICA/MIDDLE EAST » Speed to the top of the world’s tallest skyscraper, in Dubai; wander the labyrinthine medina in Tangier; and watch South Africa’s Great Karoo roll past your mahogany-paneled, butler-serviced suite. AROUND THE GLOBE » Polynesia lures with stone temples and stellar reefs; polar bears and reindeer rule the Arctic landscape, in Spitsbergen; and a deluxe Airstream camper adds a hip touch to exploration of the world’s largest salt desert, in Bolivia.
