BEST PLACES TO TRAVEL IN APRIL

USA

USA

Spring has sprung and nature is blooming across the USA. This month is all about being outdoors, so it’s a great time to poke around the country’s rugged corners – from hiking through wildflower-speckled valleys to canyoning in deep chasms, there’s plenty to keep you entertained. Beaches aren’t too crowded either, where you can spot salty-haired surfers riding the waves or join an impromptu beach party with a group of laid-back locals. In New York, ties are being loosened and sleeves rolled up in gorgeously green Central Park, while down south, the Jazz Festival in New Orleans is in full swing.

Seychelles

Seychelles

The Seychelles have a knack for always looking good. Turquoise seas ripple onto flour-soft sand, huge boulders dazzle in the hazy heat, travellers doze under palms and snorkellers float among colourful marine life. As luck would have it, the islands enjoy sunny days all year round, but if you visit in April, you’ll catch the Seychelles before the trade winds begin to whip up from May to September.

Japan

Japan

There’s no better time to visit Japan than in April. As dry, clear climes sweep across the archipelago, the spring sunshine sparks the sprouting of cherry blossom season - reason enough to visit the country. So revered are these pastel-pink trees that the art of viewing them has inspired its own verb – hanami, meaning ‘flower viewing’ - which usually involves a picnic under the boughs of the cherry blossom.

Peru

Few countries pack in diversity like Peru. Sunbathers and surfers flock to its crinkly coastline, while cool seekers try to bag tables at Lima’s cult restaurants. Among the peaks, climbers trace the flanks of the Andes and Machu Pichu retains its crown as one of Peru’s top sights. Meanwhile, the fringes of the Amazon lure travellers with its wild, untamed majesty. Time it all right with a trip in April, when the weather’s perfect for adventures into the Andes and the jungle’s humidity is at an all-time low as the dry season begins.
