Our Favorite Places to Get the Kids Outside
Por Travel Babbo
We've traveled to 62 countries with our kids and have spent a lot of time outdoors, finding the very coolest adventures that we can. These are our favorite places to hike, go kayaking, watch the stars, head out on horseback, run down sand dunes, and belly slide with penguins.

Skinnskatteberg, Suecia
Alojamiento
Travel Babbo Kolarbyn is one of the most rustic places to stay in Europe, and it's amazing! We slept in a forest hut (built by the coal workers who used to live there), cooked over a campfire, canoed to a floating spa, learned bushcraft and didn't miss electricity or the internet at all. I'd love to return annually.

Región de Magallanes, Chile
Travel Babbo Patagonia is amazing, whether you're in Argentina or Chile. For some of the most stunning vistas, though, head to Chile. We like basing out of Tierra Patagonia, but there are plenty of lodges and campsites.

Europa
Travel Babbo One of our favorite countries in the world, and it's all about exploration and hiking. Stay at a few places around the islands and pick your hikes every day. And if you can, book a night on Mykines Island with Go Local Faroe Islands and you'll be the only people on the island - with tens of thousands of puffins - after the day trippers leave. Magical!

Parques infantiles
Travel Babbo We spent a week on the Rio Negro, fishing for piranha, swimming (the piranha don't bother you if you're in the middle of the river), hiking to waterfalls and abandoned rubber towns, and watching the stars. Amazing for kids and adults alike!

Alojamiento
Travel Babbo I took my son to Greenland when he was 10 and we had a great time exploring the south, staying on sheep farms, kaykaking, and hiking and taking boats from place to place. Our favorite destination was Igaliku, where we stayed at this hotel, rented an ATV for a day and went fishing. So fun! And no internet for a week, which made it even better

Marruecos
Travel Babbo We went to the Moroccan Sahara from Marrakech and loved it, but it was a lot of driving for just one night in the desert. Highly recommend going for two or three nights and taking advantage of the sand boarding, camel rides, campfires and amazing skies.

Travel Babbo We visit Naxos often - the best of the Greek island life without cruise ships! And we spend very little time indoors. Lots of beach time, lots of sitting at outdoor cafes.

Ruinas antiguas
Travel Babbo I love hiking the Great Wall. It's obviously all outside, and you can go as far as you want, depending on the section you choose. Restored Mutianyu is long enough to give the kids a good feel for the wall, and in the afternoon there typically aren't a lot of other tourists.

Zighy Bay, Omán
Hotel
Travel Babbo Oman is amazing for outdoor exploration, but we particularly liked the Musandam Peninsula - which is basically Six Senses Zighy Bay. Even in the hot summer, we were outside most of the time, from our private plunge pool to water sports to sunset hikes in the desert. And how cool is it that you paraglide to check in?

Provincia de Florencia, Italia
Travel Babbo Florence doesn't have much nature, beyond Boboli Gardens and a few parks, but it's our favorite city and we're constantly outdoors - walking, exploring the city's art and architecture, taking boat rides on the Arno, dining in piazzas. And without kids I've done a lot of cycling and Vespa riding around the countryside.
