Description
Combining thoughtful text and beautiful hand-drawn illustrations created exclusively for this book, The Inspired Traveller's Guide: Spiritual Places takes readers closer to these sacred sites than ever before by evoking the very spirit of each place. In Spiritual Places (The Inspired Traveller's Guide), travel journalist Sarah Baxter has carefully curated a selection of the most spiritual destinations from around the world. From breathtaking scenery to religious capitals, her enlightening text will reveal the full spiritual story of each site, combined with tales of previous visitors that will both delight and inspire. Accompanied by beautiful hand-drawn illustrations that convey the unique tranquillity of each place, Inspired Traveller's Guide: Spiritual Places takes readers closer to these sacred locations than ever before by evoking the very spirit of each place. From the manmade splendour of the Easter Island Statues in Chile, to the medieval pilgrimage of Camino de Santiago that stretches to Spain, travellers are increasingly seeking the peace and serenity of spiritual sites as sanctuaries from a politically fractious and unstable world. Whether they are places of natural beauty inscribed with religious significance or sites constructed for worship, these locations are essential destinations on treks and adventures.
