DESTINATION FALKLAND ISLANDS
(Click to view map)  

In an age of global access, it's nice to know there are still a few travel destinations where you can go your whole visit without bumping into a tourist. At the southernmost reaches of the South Atlantic Ocean, the Falkland Islands are just that kind of place. Though their nearest neighbors are Argentina and Antarctica, the Falklands are British through and through, with peat fires burning in every hearth and teatimes to set your clock by. Still, with only about 4000 inhabitants at any given time (half of whom are British military personnel), most visitors don't come for the company.
