Three great DISTANCE DESTINATIONS in winter
In autumn and winter, many wish for the sun and warmth back or simply long for a vacation away from home. When winter comes to Germany and everything is Christmas, we are often drawn to faraway places. Not all parts of the world have sub-zero temperatures - many regions lure us with summer temperatures and make us forget the cold. Whether beach vacation, trekking trip or round trip through the most beautiful countries of this earth - with our most beautiful long-distance destinations in winter there is something for every taste and budget.
1. MEXICO
Are you looking for pleasant temperatures and a relaxing time out at the beach? Yes? Then the Riviera Maya on the Yucatán Peninsula is just right and welcomes you with a paradisiacal landscape, great white dream beaches and mysterious cenotes.
Where is Mexico?
Mexico is located in the transition between North and Central America, bordering the USA in the north and Guatemala in the south.
What is the best time to travel?
Autumn and winter are the rainy season in the north and temperatures drop. In the worst case it can even get to sub-zero temperatures. But in the south, on the other hand, it is super sunny and pleasantly mild at this time. In summer, the temperatures climb all over the peninsula. Then it is dry and nice and hot.
What is special about Mexico?
Food: the Mexican elixir of life
Tacos, burritos and tequila are probably the best known dishes from Mexican cuisine. However, they are kept to a minimum in Mexico. This is because dishes like mole, ceviche, quesadillas or tamales are much more famous in Mexican cuisine.
The Popocatepetl & other volcanoes
Nomen est omen: Popocatepetl comes from the Aztec and means something like "strongly smoking mountain". The volcano, located southeast of Mexico City, is one of the highest peaks in Mexico at over 5,400 meters.
Pyramids: Building Arts of the Maya & Aztecs
Probably the largest and most famous pyramid in Mexico is the Mayan pyramid Chichen Itza in the north of the Yucatan Peninsula.
Hiking in the Sierra Norte
Hiking in an environment that is home to several hundred species of birds and butterflies? The Sierra Norte makes it possible. Here, sustainable hiking is the order of the day.
Cenotes: mystical freshwater caves

3. NEUSEELAND
Ob sich die lange Reise nach Neuseeland lohnt? Definitiv!
Neuseeland hat einiges zu bieten: tolle Vulkane, raue Küsten, heiße Quellen, Dschungel, schneebedeckte Alpen, sagenhafte Kreaturen, traumhafte Strände und spektakuläre Fjorde auf der Nord- bzw. Südinsel.
Wo liegt Neuseeland?
Neuseeland liegt auf der Südhalbkugel ca 1600 km süd-östlich von Australien. Auf einer normalen Weltkarte ist Neuseeland ganz rechts unten zu finden.
Was ist die beste Reisezeit?
Das ist definitiv abhängig von den Vorlieben. Wer viel Sonnenschein genießen will, ist im neuseeländischen Sommer am Besten aufgehoben. Januar und Februar sind die wärmsten und trockensten Monate. Wer Schnee liebt und Gletscher-Ausflüge machen will, für den sind die Wintermonate die beste Reisezeit für Neuseeland.
Was ist besonders an Neuseeland?
Neuseeland ist nicht Australien!
Australien kennzeichnen riesige Sandwüsten, während Neuseeland eher für seine Fjorde, Gletscher und Geysire bekannt ist.
Auckland - polynesischer Nabel der Welt
Von den rund 4,8 Millionen Menschen in Neuseeland sind etwa 270.000 Polynesier oder haben polynesische Wurzeln.
Rugby - Definitiv mehr als nur ein Sport
Rugby ist für die Neuseeländer wie Fußball für uns. Beim Rugby kommen alle zusammen, fiebern und zittern mit und man regt sich gemeinsam auf.
Keine giftigen Tiere
Im Vergleich zu Australien ist beim Wandern in Neuseeland oder Ausflügen in die Natur keine größere Vorsicht gegenüber der heimischen Tierwelt geboten.
Vier Jahreszeiten an einem Tag
Das milde Klima mit viel Regen sorgt oftmals für vier Jahreszeiten an einem Tag.
