The 10 Best National Parks in the World

"This park is absolutely beyond compare and is a must for national park enthusiasts. As one of the most protected national parks in the world, [this group of islands] are full of incredible wildlife that are not afraid of humans and will come in closer contact with you than is possible in most other natural places in the world. "You can experience a variety of landscapes in a small space, from lush highlands full of tortoises to moon-like volcanic rock covered in piles of iguanas. And the marine life is sure to excite even the most well-traveled guests when they have the opportunity to snorkel with penguins, sharks, and playful sea lions, all while blue-footed boobies dive for food in the distance." — Erin Correia, Adventure Life" - Elizabeth Cantrell Elizabeth Cantrell Elizabeth Cantrell is a senior editor at Travel + Leisure.
