Families looking to add more adventure to their winter travels can explore destinations around the world with Backroads, which currently has space available on several holiday and winter family trips.

In Costa Rica, families can spot monkeys and sloths, raft the Savegre River and learn to surf, while Argentina's Patagonia Lake District combines kayaking, hiking and biking with experiences such as meeting gauchos and making empanadas.

Other options include snorkeling and exploring volcanic landscapes on Hawaii's Big Island, glacier walks and ice caves beneath Iceland's winter skies, and hiking, biking and rock climbing in the desert scenery of Joshua Tree.
