Where to travel in November

Cinegetic tourism in africa

November is a month that begins the cold season. That is why it seems that a getaway is more desirable, either to warmer destinations or for the simple pleasure of traveling and seeing the world because there are those who prefer to travel without experiencing hot flashes.

For all tastes, below we propose five destinations where to travel in November. Culture, safari, nature, beach ... what is yours?

Botswana

Botswana is one of the great safari destinations in Africa thanks to its huge wildlife. In this country the big cats run free as well as the rhinos and the aquatic antelopes. However, if Botswana is known worldwide for something, it is because more elephants can be found here than anywhere else on the continent.

Botswana is also the land of the Okavango Delta and the Kalahari Desert, where one of the largest concentrations of rock art in the world is located. If we add the fauna that inhabits them to these African landscapes, we conclude that we are in one of the most impressive places on the planet. It is not surprising, therefore, that Botswana was chosen by Lonely Planet as the best country to travel to in 2016.

Two years later, Botswana continues to retain the charm for which it was chosen for such recognition. A good time to get to know it is in November if you have a few days of vacation and you want to know an exotic and authentic place like this one.

Punta Cana

November brings cold, what better than to escape for a few days to the always beautiful and warm Punta Cana? Its tropical climate allows you to enjoy the sun all year round. Change your coat for a bikini and get ready to disconnect from your routine on a paradisiacal white sand beach under palm trees!

However, Punta Cana offers its visitors many other activities to do. For example, One of the most beautiful excursions that can be made is a visit to the Haitises National Park, in the bay of Samaná, which allows you to get an idea of ​​the original aspect of the region before its tourist transformation.

Most of the excursions include exploring its thick mangroves by boat and a visit to the caves that once stood by the Tainos, where paintings made by them are still found.

Another option is to take an excursion to Isla Saona, one of the largest in the Dominican Republic, in small boats or a large catamaran to get away from the most touristy area. and discover virgin beaches, jungle, fishing villages and mangroves. The waters around Isla Saona are full of life. Take advantage and dive among corals to see an explosion of colors. Take some goggles and dive among corals.

Pompeii Forum

Pompeii

The skeleton of a man victim of the Vesuvius eruption two millennia ago has recently been discovered in Italy. The volcano's explosion was so strong that one of the rocks it expelled fell directly on him, crushing his chest and head.

The catastrophic eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79 wiped out three Roman cities that were in full swing and took the lives of most of their inhabitants. It is ironic, therefore, that such a tragedy has made possible the good conservation of a Roman villa and has allowed us to know with great precision what life was like in this civilization. To visit it is to enter the Roman Empire and, from there, everyone can let their imagination run wild ... how about visiting it in November?

The visit to Pompeii can last a whole day as there is so much to see. It is convenient to read a little about its history and the different sites open to the public to know which ones we are most interested in visiting. We especially recommend: the Forum, the Temple of Apollo, the Stabian Baths, the House of the Faun, the Basilica or the Lupanar.

If you have more time, you can include in the visit the other neighboring sites: Herculano, Stabia, Oplontis and Bosco Reale, to have the most complete possible vision of what life was like in Italy two thousand years ago and the tragedy that the populations lived through. at the foot of Vesuvius.

Mallorca in winter

Majorca

During the summer everyone comes to Mallorca to enjoy the waters of the Mediterranean, the good weather and the best parties in Spain. However, in low season the island also offers many interesting things to see, at a lower price, with fewer queues and more tranquility.  Thus, its old town is the perfect complement for the tourist who visits Mallorca during autumn and winter.

The list of monuments is extensive but its emblem is the majestic Gothic-style cathedral, known as La Seu, which is located next to the seafront. It was ordered to be built at the end of the XNUMXth century and has the peculiarity of being the only Gothic cathedral with the largest Gothic rose window in European temples that also overlooks the sea on the Roman and Renaissance walls that once protected the city.

Next to the cathedral is the Almudaina Palace, an old Islamic fortress transformed into the residence of the monarchs of Mallorca. The old city has a large number of churches and stately residences, which can be reached by alleys with charming flowered courtyards. It is also worth visiting the Bellver Castle, which has stood majestically since the XNUMXth century in the middle of a beautiful pine forest in the bay of Palma.

We also recommend that you take an excursion around the city to discover other places on the island since all its attractions are approximately an hour's drive away., which makes the movement very practical and comfortable.

Finally, we recommend you go on excursions and discover the corners of the rest of the island. All the attractions of Majorca are around an hour away by car, which makes getting around very comfortable and practical.

Detroit

It is the largest city in the state of Michigan, in the Midwest of the United States. In its heyday it was known as the 'Motor City' for being the world's center for automobile manufacturing. However, the financial crisis suffered by its population was sharply reduced and many businesses closing, making Detroit a shadow of what it was for a long time.

However, the efforts to get out of that situation have paid off and this Michigan city has been reborn among street art and music. After all, it was the birthplace of the Motown sound way back in the 1960s.

One of the most interesting reasons to visit Detroit in November is due to the Thanksgiving celebration, with one of the oldest horseback rides in the United States. (tied for second place with New York), with costumes, marching bands and even a delegation of the big heads from Italy's Viareggio carnival.
