Way and The Coastal Way – are the only UK destinations to make the prestigious magazine’s Best Trips list.
Describing the Wales Way as “far-reaching routes that get the blood pumping”, the judges said that they offer “the best of this legend-filled land”.
National Geographic editors divided the top 25 locations into four categories: culture, city, nature and adventure.
The Wales Way is listed in the adventure category, rivalled by the volcanic terrain of the Kamchatka Peninsula in eastern Russia, and the snowy paradise of Tohoku in northeastern Japan.
For cultural delights, Asturias on Spain’s northwest coast and the once isolated Guizhou province in southwest China are recommended. Among the
■■Parma, Italy ■ Puebla, Mexico
■■Magdalen Islands, Quebec, Canada ■ Kalahari Desert, Botswana ■■Bialowieza Forest, cities suggested are Philadelphia in Pennsylvania and Telc in the Czech Republic.
Nature lovers, meanwhile, are urged to head to Magdalen Islands in Quebec, Canada, where the spectacular sea ice is fast diminishing. The striking Kalahari Desert in Botswana, southern Africa, and the primaeval Bialowieza Forest in Belarus/Poland also make the list.
A National Geographic spokesman said: “Best Trips is our annual list of where to go, what to know and how to see the world in the year ahead.
“To build the list, we worked with National Geographic editors around the world as well as photographers, writers, explorers and, of course, passionate travellers to report on the essential sites to see and places to be in 2020.”

In a landmark US legal ruling, the late King Of Pop’s accusers have been given the green light to once again claim millions in compensation.
Wade Robson and James Safechuck, child companions of the troubled superstar,
BY JACK ANDREWS saw lawsuits relating to years of grooming and sexual abuse thrown out in 2017.
The pair hit the buffers twice over the technical issue that cases can only be considered eight years at the latest after the reported incident.
Now, Bill 218, approved by Governor Gavin Newsom, has extended

Their lawyer, Vince Finaldi, said: “All they’ve ever wanted is their day in court.”
The pair revealed their side of the story in HBO and Channel 4 documentary Leaving Neverland.
