It’s too easy to kick the can down the road when planning dream trips: Push it to next month, next year, after the new kitchen is done, or never.

To help banish the endless procrastination, National Geographic’s 2027 list of 25 must-visit destinations for the year ahead is one of its most timely and experience-driven recommendations yet.

There are new openings, such as the Cape Froward National Park in Chile, and landmark anniversaries, like a Beethoven festival in Leipzig, Germany, to mark the 200th anniversary of the composer’s death.

There are cultural celebrations, including an arts festival in Japan’s “Snow Country,” and once-remote locations with improved accessibility, such as Mexico’s Maya Ka’an, now linked to Cancún and Tulum by train.

National Geographic’s editor-in-chief, Nathan Lump, talked to CNN about some of the destinations he’s most excited about.

California’s Pacific Coast Highway is “probably the most iconic road trip you could take in America, outside of Route 66,” says Lump, and with the beloved Big Sur section now open again after a three-year closure, it’s possible for travelers to enjoy it in its entirety.

Lump recommends people explore the thriving creative communities in the towns en route, such as Mendocino and Laguna Beach. California has for a long time attracted “artists inspired by the landscape, by the ocean, and so you really can see that and experience that on display as you make this drive.”

America’s first commercial railroad opened in Baltimore, Maryland, 200 years ago in 1827. To celebrate, the city’s National Museum of Railroad History & Innovation has undergone a $38 million upgrade, culminating in the opening of its future-minded Innovation Hall early next year.

“Baltimore is often thought of as a maritime city”, says Lump, but there’s a lot more to Charm City than people often realize. It’s “dynamic and thriving” and “continues to undergo revitalization and change in really positive ways.”

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime performance put Puerto Rico in the international spotlight and, says Lump, “people got a bit more of a taste of its culture.”

Much more than just a beach destination, the island’s music, dance and culinary traditions reflect its distinct “blend of African and Indigenous and, of course, Spanish Influences.”

Puerto Rico’s Indigenous heritage can be traced along the Taíno Route with its historic settlements, sacred caves and centuries-old rock carvings.

The new year marks the 150th anniversary of Spicemas, the annual August carnival in Grenada, which is known as the Spice Island due to its cultivation of nutmeg, cloves and other scented delights.

“It’s a beautiful island, lush and green,” says Lump, and Spicemas is “a great time to go: music, parades, street parties, super fun.”

Grenada also offers a wealth of wellness activities, such as volcanic mud bathing at River Sallee and guided yoga sessions at Royal Mount Carmel Falls, one of the island’s tallest waterfalls.

Two world-class art museums are debuting in Santander, on Spain’s northern coast, bringing fresh international attention to this ancient port city.

Faro Santander opened last month to display the extensive art collection of Banco Santander, including works by Titian, Velázquez, and Goya. Next year, Madrid’s prestigious Museo Reina Sofía will open an outpost in the city, with a collection of 138,000 paintings, sculptures and manuscripts. “And then they’ve got this great archaeology museum,” says Lump, Santander’s Museum of Prehistory and Archaeology, which is moving to a brand-new, $56 million home designed by prize-winning Barcelona-based architects Mendoza Partida.

“You’d definitely be the first of your friends to go there if you went,” says Lump of Kuélap, an ancient citadel in northern Peru built by the Chachapoya people around 500 C.E.

A new trail set to open in June reaches part of the Malcapampa ruins, a formerly inaccessible archaeological site.

Visitors “can observe a live archaeological site as well, and the archeologists that work there, which I think is quite fun and different,” says Lump.

Venture beyond Kuélap and hikers can reach sites where one can spot the Chachapoya people’s “human-shaped sarcophagi that contain mummies that are perched on the cliff side,” he says. “It’s very weird and cool.”

Luxor, in southern Egypt, will enjoy the longest duration of totality during the solar eclipse that will blot out the sun in parts of Europe, the Middle East and Africa on August 2.

“The sun was such an important part of cosmology to the ancient Egyptians” and “of all the places you can go in Egypt and experience” the ancient world, says Lump, Luxor “has probably the densest collection of riches.”

The historic Winter Palace hotel, where Howard Carter announced the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922, is due to reopen in July as the Mandarin Oriental Winter Palace.

Nile cruises, such as the legendary Steam Ship Sudan which inspired Agatha Christie’s “Death on the Nile,” are a “wonderful” way to see the region, but in 2027 travelers will also have the option of riding on Egypt’s first luxury tourist sleeper train, the Guardian of the Nile.

It will link Cairo and Aswan with a stop in Luxor.

计划梦想之旅时，很容易把事情往后拖：推迟到下个月、明年、等新厨房装修好了再去，或者干脆永远不去。

为了帮助人们摆脱无休止的拖延，国家地理杂志发布的 2027 年 25 个必游目的地名单是其迄今为止最及时、最注重体验的推荐之一。

还有一些新的景点开放，例如智利的弗罗沃德角国家公园；还有一些具有里程碑意义的纪念活动，例如在德国莱比锡举办的贝多芬音乐节，以纪念这位作曲家逝世 200 周年。

这里有文化庆典，包括日本“雪之国”的艺术节，以及曾经偏远但交通便利的地区，例如墨西哥的玛雅卡安，现在可以通过火车与坎昆和图卢姆相连。

《国家地理》杂志主编内森·伦普接受 CNN 采访时谈到了他最期待的一些旅行目的地。

Lump 表示，加州太平洋海岸公路“可能是美国除了 66 号公路之外最具标志性的公路旅行路线”，而且备受喜爱的 Big Sur 路段在关闭三年后重新开放，旅行者可以尽情享受这条公路的全部路程。

朗普建议人们探索沿途城镇蓬勃发展的创意社区，例如门多西诺和拉古纳海滩。加州长期以来吸引着“受风景和海洋启发的艺术家，因此，当你驾车行驶在这条路上时，你真的可以看到并体验到这一点。”

美国第一条商业铁路于 200 年前的 1827 年在马里兰州巴尔的摩开通。为了庆祝这一历史时刻，该市的国家铁路历史与创新博物馆进行了 3800 万美元的升级改造，其面向未来的创新大厅将于明年初开放。

“人们通常认为巴尔的摩是一座海滨城市，”伦普说道，“但这座魅力之城远比人们通常意识到的要丰富得多。它充满活力，欣欣向荣，并且“正以非常积极的方式不断经历着复兴和变革”。

Bad Bunny 在第 60 届超级碗中场秀上的表演让波多黎各成为国际焦点，Lump 说，“人们对它的文化有了更深入的了解。”

这座岛屿不仅仅是一个海滩度假胜地，其音乐、舞蹈和烹饪传统也反映了其独特的“非洲、土著以及西班牙影响的融合”。

沿着泰诺之路，可以追溯波多黎各的土著文化遗产，那里有历史悠久的定居点、神圣的洞穴和几个世纪前的岩画。

为什么这个加勒比海群岛是下一个理想的旅游目的地？

新年伊始，格林纳达迎来了香料节（Spicemas）150周年纪念。香料节是格林纳达每年八月举行的狂欢节，格林纳达因盛产肉豆蔻、丁香和其他香料而被称为“香料岛”。

“这是一个美丽的岛屿，郁郁葱葱，”Lump 说，“香料节是去那里的好时机：有音乐、游行、街头派对，超级好玩。”

格林纳达还提供丰富的健康活动，例如在萨利河体验火山泥浴，以及在皇家卡梅尔山瀑布（岛上最高的瀑布之一）参加瑜伽指导课程。

两座世界级艺术博物馆在西班牙北部海岸的桑坦德落成，为这座古老的港口城市带来了新的国际关注。

桑坦德灯塔（Faro Santander）上个月开幕，展出桑坦德银行丰富的艺术收藏，其中包括提香、委拉斯凯兹和戈雅的作品。明年，马德里著名的索菲亚王后国家艺术中心博物馆（Museo Reina Sofía）将在桑坦德开设分馆，展出其13.8万件绘画、雕塑和手稿藏品。“此外，他们还有一座很棒的考古博物馆，”桑坦德史前与考古博物馆馆长卢普（Lump）说道。该博物馆即将迁入一座由屡获殊荣的巴塞罗那建筑事务所门多萨·帕蒂达（Mendoza Partida）设计的全新馆舍，这座新馆耗资5600万美元。

“如果你去那里，你肯定会是你朋友中第一个去的，”伦普说道。库埃拉普是秘鲁北部一座古老的城堡，由查查波亚人于公元500年左右建造。

一条将于六月开放的新步道将通往马尔卡潘帕遗址的一部分，该遗址以前是无法进入的考古遗址。

朗普说：“游客还可以参观一个真实的考古遗址，并见到在那里工作的考古学家，我认为这很有趣，也很特别。”

他说：“如果徒步者离开库埃拉普，就能到达一些地方，在那里可以看到查查波亚人的‘人形石棺，里面装着木乃伊，就矗立在悬崖边’。这非常奇特，也很酷。”

8月2日，日全食将遮蔽欧洲、中东和非洲部分地区的太阳，而埃及南部的卢克索将享受到最长的日全食持续时间。

“太阳在古埃及人的宇宙观中扮演着非常重要的角色”，而且“在埃及所有可以体验古代世界的地方中”，卢克索“可能拥有最丰富的财富收藏”。

历史悠久的冬宫酒店（霍华德·卡特于 1922 年在此宣布发现图坦卡蒙陵墓）将于 7 月重新开业，更名为文华东方冬宫酒店。

尼罗河游轮，例如启发了阿加莎·克里斯蒂创作《尼罗河上的惨案》的传奇蒸汽船苏丹号，是游览该地区的“绝妙”方式，但到 2027 年，游客还可以选择乘坐埃及第一列豪华旅游卧铺列车——尼罗河守护者号。

它将连接开罗和阿斯旺，并在卢克索停留。
