This would be for a solo (semi) adventure. I would prefer not too cold/snowy, but some chilly air is fine. I just want to go someplace exceptionally beautiful.


Galapagos. It's the most impressive place I've been. That said, I don't know if it's beautiful per se - it's just awe inspiring.

If you just want gorgeous, banff comes to mind. Fiji is another such location.


Galapagos for 5k and for only one week? No way.


How much do you estimate it would cost?

No shit. OP did not indicate travel for two. You can get to Patagonia (Chile) under 5K.

The area around Santa Barbara. You could stay in nice places and eat well for 5K. Drive into the gorgeous countryside.

Bahamas. Bermuda. Puerto Rico. Stay closer, get there sooner and relax while seeing beautiful scenery.

+1 to Macchu Picchu--a week is about right to get yourself to Cuzco, see Macchu Picchu itself, and then see some of the surrounding sights.

Second Santorini. Maui is awesome too. Also, what about Fiji?

Is that the right season for the highlands?

If the year is 1747, any season will do.
