By , About.com Guide

Adventure travelers will find a fascinating choice of adrenalin-raising adventures in the new Lonely Planet book: Best in Travel 2011. The book is split into sections, including "Top 10 Countries", "Top 10 Regions", "Top 10 Cities", and "Top Travel Lists". Throughout, you'll find Lonely Planet's choices for trends, destinations, journeys and experiences for the upcoming year.

Browse through the book and you'll see adventures around the world mixed into the main sections but especially in the Top Travel Lists. In one list, you'll find great scuba diving options, ranging from cenote diving in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula to diving with great white sharks in South Africa. In the climbing list, you'll see ascending the steps of an ancient Mayan temple in Tikal Guatemala, to a canopy walk in trees high above a jungle floor.
