Barre, VT – April 21,2010. For Immediate Release. Each year National Geographic Traveler, the number one magazine for global travel, culture and nature, features 50 trips that deserve the award of “Tour of a Lifetime”. These carefully designed trips offer much more than classical or emerging destinations.  They are carefully crafted and operated with superb dedication to service and attention to detail. All of them offer unique experiences, which no discerning traveler should miss.

Cultural Crossroads is winning this prestigious label for second year in a row, in addition being featured four times in Conde Nast Magazine with its “50 Trips of a Lifetime” and  “40 Trips of a Lifetime”.

This year the featured tour is “The Wonders of Jordan - A Cultural Experience,” an 11 day tour. The tour is a cultural adventure from Petra and Amman to the beautiful quietness of the Dead Sea. Cultural Crossroads travelers will enjoy private Bedouin-guided off-road tour, an exclusive visit to the Royal Stables outside of Amman, and will be charmed by a shaman in Petra. The travelers will have the chance to explore their creativity in a weaving lesson and learn how to do cattail-reed-and-banana-leaf baskets: a millennia old tradition still perfected to an art by the local women in Wadi Rayyan.
