Everything about the UXUA Casa Hotel & Spa in Trancoso, Brazil is picturesque. To say this 5-star resort is Instagram-worthy is an understatement and your teens will agree. Head to the Cultural Center, or Casa de Cultura, and watch local students practice the art of capoeira, a traditional Bahia sport, or join in. Capoeira blends martial arts, acrobatics and dance — add in some natural athleticism, and your kids may find their new favorite sport.
Available on select Ponant cruises from Rome to Athens, the Treasures of the Mediterranean World tour boasts the best of all things Greek and Italian mythology. Learn about the Roman and Greek gods and goddesses and see where the original Olympics competition took place — perfect for your budding history buffs, mythology fans and culture seekers.
All Ages

Pedal along the coast on bike tours with the family and take in the sweeping views of the Napa Valley Vine Trail. Hike along miles of trails and cool off with a dip in one of the many swimming holes of Bothe Napa Valley State Park.
