If you're hesitant to travel abroad right now, read these reviews to see how happy travelers are who are.

1. Yellowstone National Park

In February, Yellowstone is a winter wonderland with few visitors. Take advantage of this excellent opportunity to see wildlife - moose, bison, even wolves - and to cross-country ski, snowshoe, and ride snowmobiles or heated snow coaches.

2. Saguaro National Park, Arizona

The two sections of this park – the Tucson Mountain District and the Rincon Mountain District – are located in the Sonoran Desert, west and east, respectively, of the city of Tucson. The weather is not as extreme in winter, when daytime temperatures range between 50 and 70 degrees (in summer they can reach triple digits). Explore its trails on foot or on horseback to see the largest cacti on the continent, which give the park its name.

3. Belize

Nonstop flights to Belize depart from several American cities that are just three hours away. Once there, you can explore world-class coral reefs, visit off-the-beaten-track Mayan ruins, learn to scuba dive (like Wendy's son did), fish for 70-pound tarpon (which kept her husband busy), and lounge around the sparkling waters of the Caribbean, or charter your own private yacht, enjoying fabulous snorkeling, sunbathing, kayaking, and staying away from everyone except the captain and first mate.

4. Mexico

Do you have the late winter blues? A getaway to Mexico could be the cure. In addition to the obligatory beach dose, a specialist in Mexico can include in his itinerary visits to Mayan ruins, walks through indigenous towns and excursions to the best places to practice diving.

5. Costa Rica

The month of February falls in the middle of the dry season in Costa Rica. Fill your days with jungle hikes, bird watching in the cloud forest, visits to small sugar cane and coffee plantations, and, of course, plenty of time relaxing on the country's historic coastlines.

6. Panama

January and February have the best weather, with less humidity and a cool breeze in the mornings and afternoons. The sun sets a little earlier, but the sunsets are incredible.

7. Nicaragua

In the first half of the month, the country is lush and green, it doesn't rain and the breezes keep temperatures in the 80s during the day.

8. Chile and Argentina

It's summer in the southern hemisphere: That means the weather is ideal in almost all of Chile and Argentina, from the Chilean lakes region to the wine region of Mendoza and Patagonia. (But be careful: temperatures in Buenos Aires can reach 90 degrees). If you're headed to the Atacama Desert, time your trip for the beginning of the month, when the lack of moonlight makes the night skies even more impressive than usual.

9. Iceland

February is one of the darkest months of the year in Iceland, increasing your chances of seeing the spectacular Northern Lights. It is also the time when the Winter Festival of Lights is celebrated, with beautiful art installations and cultural events throughout Reykjavík. Winters can be harsh and unpredictable, and some activities will be unavailable, but the spectacular snowy scenery - not to mention the extra time locals have available for visitors - can make this an especially satisfying time to visit and enjoy glacier tours, horseback riding, snowmobiling and heli-skiing, topped off with a dip in a natural hot spring (which you may have to yourself this time of year) to rest your weary muscles.

10. Antarctica Cruises

By February, the sea ice has melted, allowing longer trips and whale watching as humpbacks surface and feed. These shorter days of fall also allow you to see the Aurora Australis, or Southern Lights. Additionally, the icebergs have been beautifully sculpted by the summer winds - reflecting the sun's rays like giant crystal chandeliers - and there are often special offers for these end-of-season outings.

11. Thailand

February is usually one of the busiest months in Thailand. With the recent opening of the country's borders, that's not likely to happen in 2022. Go now, before the crowds return, and while you can experience the temples of Bangkok, the markets of Chiang Mai, and the southern beaches at large. part for you.

12. United Arab Emirates and Oman

February is one of the coolest months of the year in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Oman, with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s. It's an ideal time to camp in Oman's Empty Quarter, where the dunes seem endless; visit the Louvre in Abu Dhabi (a good part of which is outdoors); or stroll among the towering skyscrapers of Dubai.

13. Botswana

Prices are up to 40% cheaper in February than during the high season, and the vegetation is lush and green from the rains. The periodic thunderstorms that pass through the area often provide beautiful rainbows, which make a great backdrop for your photos. Additionally, many of the wild animals have young – zebras, wildebeests, antelopes – and predators tend to be more prolific with the greater availability of prey. It is also a time when migratory birds are in full breeding plumage, with exquisite colors.

14. Israel

In February, Israel is practically empty of tourists, so you will be able to access almost everything without having to wait in lines. If you're looking for the best rooms in the best hotels and the best tour guides - all at great prices - this is the time to go. Temperatures are mild, in the 50s and 60s, and even if it rains a little, the scenery makes it feel like spring in Vermont or Switzerland: green hills, colorful wildflowers, snow-capped peaks, and rushing streams and rivers.

15. Myanmar

February is the coolest month of the year in this tropical country, and also one of the driest, making it a delightful time to explore Myanmar. Enjoy the kaleidoscope of festivals held, such as the Mahamuni Pagoda Festival in Mandalay, the Pindaya Cave Festival in Pindaya (near Inle), the Kayik Khauk Pagoda Festival across the river from Yangon , and others in little-known corners of the country.
