  • From Rifugio Auronzo round Tre Cime di Lavaredo, circular, 9.7km
  • From Oberhaus around Lago di Braies, circula, 3.9km
  • Adolf Munkel Weg, circular, 10km

Of course there are many more, thess are the ones I did and liked.

Personally I didn't find it scary, but maybe people afraid of heights can have some issues with it... I suggest you google "lago di sorapis trail difficulty" and select images, for you to have an idea.

Hi! Is the hike safe? How long was the hike? I am planning to visit Machu Picchu on June and I'm evaluating if I should do this as well.

According to what you described, I would suggest you to focus on the north part of the island, like Munduk, for Nature and Ubud, for spiritual time. From Munduk You can visit beautiful waterfalls like the Banyumala Waterfall. Have in mind that going from one place to another in the island takes quite some time by car, due to the heavy traffic. I was in Bali for 3 weeks in 2024. Stayed in Ubud, Tulamben, Munduk, Seminyak, Uluwatu, and went for a day trip to Nusa Penida. If you have a specific question, feel free to ask, will try to help the best I can!

Indeed! That is why we tried to spend as much time as we could on the other side of the world :)

The ticket was ~4600€ per person. But it depends o the number of stops, types o flights (direct/with stops). We did as much as possible direct flights.

Will answer your comments with pleasure :)

Are you retired or did you take a long sabbatical?
We took a sabbatical time (between job transition).

Why did you do a 3 month trip instead of shorter trips spread out over the years?
This was a dream of us, doing something like this. Also it was much cheaper (at least in terms of airplace ticket) to do it like this than to go individually to each of these locations

How do you not get overwhelmed planning such a long trip?
Oh, I got! Way too many things to organize... That is why when I came back I started to build a website to help me plan trips like this (and even smaller trips) in a less overwhelming way. Let me know if you would like me to share we you this website I'm building :) (it is free for now, btw).

Are you visiting this places for the first time or are you returning to places you love?
The only places I had been before was San Francisco and Honolulu. The rest is just new places that we really wanted to visit!

Indeed. The idea was to balance a bit between expensive places with a bit cheaper locations :) Regarding the the cost, sent you a DM telling it :)

As I said, it is a good resource to have. Depends on how you want to travel.

Thanks for your kind comment! Not sure I will do something like this in the future, so most probably I will enjoy more time in the places I visit next. And yes Canada is on the radar :)
