You can go through Seletiero Azzurro at any time of the year, but we would recommend autumn or, as a last resort, spring is a minimum of tourists and not so hot as in the summer.
Tip: The most difficult segment of the route is at Monterosso, therefore it makes sense to plunge the strength at the end of the path for the "final throw". And you can also break the campaign for two stages and arrange a breather in Cornille, which is just in the middle of the route.

Let's figure it out where the concentration of beauty will be "overwhelming" and make their own list of top 10 classic trekking routes of the world.

A complex but most beautiful route in the mountains of the central part of the island of Corsica. The track is distinguished by the multi-faceted landscapes, there is all: noisy waterfalls, rocky mountains, alpine meadows, shady forests, purest rivers, crystal lakes. Very steep rocky peaks and ridges are considered a feature, and the trails often pass along the edge of the steepness itself. Tourists who passed it from beginning to end can be proud of themselves. For European trackcakers, this kind of Must Have to "Collections" (it turned out, for our instructors, too :). He heads the list not so much because of beauty (beautiful all), but thanks to technicality. If we talk about trekking, then the GR-20 is the most "clean" representative of this type of outdoor activities. Our trekking in Corsica.

2. Chokekirao Track, Peru
Alternative to Inca Trail (Inka Trail). We recommend this way to Machu Picchu for several reasons. BUT) Tourists are much less. B) On the way there is a lost city of Chokekirao, which historians and archaeologists consider it technically much more difficult than Machu Picchu. It is believed that it is built not in the ink, and some very developed unknown civilization. IN) From the trails, you can go to Pass Salbantai from one of the two most sacred and revered vertices in Peru (second - Ausangat).
You can talk a lot about the route, but still fail to convey the sensations that you are waiting. After all, in addition to the wonderful mountain panoramas, the main attractions are the ancient buildings of the Inca. Mysterious ruins are immersed in the atmosphere of full mysteries ancient civilization. The highlight will be overnight stay on the terraces in the middle of the jungle overlooking the Andes. Our trips to Peru.

4. Rutburn Track, New Zealand
Top without New Zealand - not top at all. But further - worse. The following local routes are regularly competed by the title of the most beautiful regular routes: Rutburn, Milford, Tongariro and Abel-Tasman :). We allocated Rutburn, because he is the most "trekking". There's really very cool: Panoramic highlands in the middle of the isochikh alps (yes, in the NZ, too, the Alps), the placer of the crystal lakes, at the beginning - stunning jungle, the waterfall of the veil of the bride and a lot of mountain air filled with aromas of the dispersion.
Milford. - It is almost fabulous jungle with giant ferns, Liana and Mkhami. The mountains and deep canyon begin on, and at the end you go to the beautiful fjord. The track has its own story. Once, Maui wore jade to the sea along this path. Coastal is laid through a wild forest with a bunch of interesting plants and animals.

And what else do you need to become the best route for trekking? :)
9. West Crow Treil, Canada
Trail along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean was originally planned by rescuers for the catch of the shipwreck.

About this track definitely impossible to forget)))
The audience of audience sympathy conquers the route that opens Turkey from a completely new side. The millennial buildings of Lycian civilization, Greek amphitherators and colonnades of ancient temples, notched coves, orange groves, transparent rivers, forest thickets and rocky mountains in one hike. Something new happens daily: bathing, canyoning, paragliding, climbing, frying kebabs in the lights of chimeras, excursions, snorkeling with marine turtles, yachting. Guess where it is? Lycian trail!
It and even for children from 12 years old. Raisin - wild beaches on the shore of a completely azure Mediterranean. Another plus that is becoming popularity, it is the relative ease of recacking with all its saturation of events. But the main thing is what the crap is bribed, it is fruit. Oranges and grenades you will not eat for another six months;). We give her a place in the top, because for many years already hiking on it always like all our tourists and instructors. And this, believe me, rarity rarity :). It is perfect for those who do not know what he wants, but to be cool. Our hiking on the Lycian trail
