Thanks for including our list. Very interesting post.

Always I question whether the author of those lists has actually hiked those trails. In many cases, they have not. Often the Inca Trail and Milford Track are included even though they are not the best options in Peru or New Zealand.

But I do like the Exodus list.

Happy holidays!
