While in France, taking a bike ride through the gorgeous Bordeaux vineyards or touring the Loire Valley, home to the quaint châteaux, is surely an absolute winner. However, in Italy, the Amalfi Coast offers breathtaking coastline routes to explore, while the Tuscany region offers jaw dropping scenery and cultural treasures.

Whatever you choose enjoy the environmentaly friendly buzz of pedal power.

Brazil’s carnival beats like a heart in Rio, the Amazon slinks through the jungle like a secret, and Machu Picchu stands as a timeless reminder of the ancient world, all while the Andes tower above, watching over it all.
