<aWhat was your last vacation like? Were you amused? Did you find something thrilling? Was there some time to kick back and relax or did your last vacation consist of getting your family to and fro, with a little yard work and household chores thrown in? Did your last "vacation" end up being a "staycation"? Why not try something new this year? Next time you have a few days off, why not test one of the local adventure travels. Even if you don't leave your state limits there are still plenty of adventures to be had. If you can afford to spend a little more, why not treat yourself to a true adventure? Here are some incredibly trendy adventure travels.

Lots of people think of dog sledding as a fantastic adventure! You probably think that going dog sledding can only be done by trained professionals. This is true when you think about the Iditarod. If you just want to explore the sport a little bit and have some fun, Alaskan Husky Adventures is what you need. This group offers two and three day package deals. Simply take up a few days worth of groceries and relax--during the day you'll be taught the basics of sledding with dogs and go on guided tours offered by professional sledders.

Do you get a thrill from sightseeing? Do you love being able to explore the places you've only read about in books? Why not go on a sightseeing adventure travel tour to someplace you have always dreamed of seeing? Highly favored tourist destinations include Greece, Rome, Ireland and Scotland, Africa, China and Tibet. Obviously there are sightseeing tours in just about every country in the world, so just decide where you want to go and sign up for a touring trip! Allow a guide to teach you about your chosen country's culture and history.

You Should Go on a Llama Trek! Everybody can ride a horse. If you want some wacky adventure travels without leaving the US, you can opt for the Hurricane Creek Llama Treks in Oregon. During these treks, you camp outdoors and you are responsible for bringing your own equipment (and setting it up/taking it down) and packing and unpacking your llama bags. These trips are great because you can choose to ride your llama along in the Oregon wilderness or you can walk on your own two feet and lead your Llama with you. How many other times in your life will you be able to ride llamas?

Not all adventure travels have to be dangerous and life threatening. You can have a glorious adventure vacation without bungee jumping, skydiving or praying a shark won't nibble on a cage. Concurrently, for the adrenaline junkies, that risk is only part of the joy of an adventure bases vacation.

The key to having a real adventurous vacation is to get out of your comfort zone while still having an enjoyable time. Get to it!p>
