The world has become a too familiar place. Pleasure-seekers who once jetted to London or
Paris now think nothing of flying on to Kuala Lumpur; as global tourism flourishes, the little-trod
paths have become superhighways. Where can we escape the crush? Where can we still find some sense
of wonder or mystery? TIME's correspondents and contributors, whose work has taken them into some of
the world's most intriguing nooks and crannies, herewith offer a sampling of favorite hideaways --
places not found on the orthodox travel map. Some are close at hand, others at the ends of the earth.
Under the right circumstances, they all deserve a detour.
