Los Glaciares National Park was included among the 25 most extraordinary places and stories that will inspire us in the coming year.

With the release of its new “World's Best Destinations of 2021” list, National Geographic announces 25 extraordinary destinations that will define our future itineraries and inspire audiences to “dream now, go later”.

The new list is an upbeat collection of the world's most inspiring stories and top destinations. Framing into five categories (nature, adventure, culture, sustainability and family), each listing pays tribute to an exceptional destination with a relevant story to tell in the coming year. The full list for 2021 includes conservation successes, preservation achievements, cultural resilience, and stories of communities overcoming overwhelming obstacles to emerge from the pandemic.

Los Glaciares National Park was chosen in the category of “Maximum Adventures”. The list was created, researched, reported and written in collaboration with the international editorial teams of Traveler, National Geographic, which has millions of readers and more than a dozen offices around the world.

"While the pandemic has completely slowed travel, it has not silenced our curiosity," said George Stone, Executive Editor of National Geographic Travel. “The world is full of wonders, even when they are difficult to reach. This is the perfect time to discover something new about a culture or an extraordinary place in our world, and perhaps devise the next trip for when the time comes."

And he concluded: “Before the new year, and with the hope of being able to travel again, we are excited to share these 25 timely stories of timeless places that can help define our future itineraries. To create the list, we worked with National Geographic editorial staff around the world, as well as professionals in photography, writing, exploration and, of course, passion for travel with the goal of informing about communities and the essential places that we hope to visit in the coming years.”
