ON THE RIGHT FOOT

Thrill-seekers, look here—Airbnb has moved beyond its one-day Experiences to launch Airbnb Adventures ( airbnb.com), a growing collection of more than 200 curated trips led by local hosts around the world. Whether you fancy trekking the desert landscapes of Jordan between the Dana Biosphere Reserve and the fabled ruins of Petra (pictured here), tracking lions in the wilderness with Kenya’s Sabache warriors, or embarking on a culinary exploration of the Galápagos, the choices are as varied as they are enticing. More extreme options range from cliffside camping in Colorado to a nine-day romp through the heart of the Amazon rain forest—where guests may spot native birds and nocturnal tapirs, paddle a canoe through stretches inhabited by the omnivorous (and oft-misunderstood) piranha, and meet members of the indigenous Patawa tribe. Each adventure can be booked by up to 12 guests, and are either exclusive to Airbnb or run by small, independent operators without a presence on other major booking platforms.
