Fraser Island (K'gari) Great Walk

The K'gari (Fraser Island) Great Walk is an 8-day through-hike covering approximately 90km point-to-point within the Great Sandy National Park, Queensland. The route traverses often described as one of the largest sand island, moving through diverse ecological zones including high rainforests established on deep-sand substrates, mangrove systems, and freshwater perched lakes. Surface conditions are consistently sand-based, transitioning between consolidated forest paths and uncompacted dune segments. The route provides a cross-section of the island's unique hydrology and mature Satinay (Syncarpia hillii) timber stands. Access is regulated by Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS).

Quilotoa Loop and Emerald Lagoon. The Quilotoa Loop is a multi-day trek through the central Ecuadorian Andes, a Commonly Recognized Trek notable for its blend of high-altitude geography and indigenous culture. The journey typically spans 3-4 days through villages like Sigchos, Isinlivi, and Chugchilán, culminating at the water-filled Quilotoa caldera. The 3km-wide crater features a 250m-deep turquoise lagoon formed by a volcanic eruption 800 years ago. Hikers can choose between the full village-to-village 'Loop' or a 12km rim circuit.
