Vassi Koutsaftis, a legendary guide who has been leading GeoEx tours for 29 years, was just named one of the best guides in the world by Outside magazine. The publication chose him as Best Cultural Guide in its 2014 Travel Awards, announced in the April issue. To celebrate, we asked Vassi to tell us his five favorite cultural destinations. We’re presenting one each day, illustrated with one of his extraordinary photographs. 

Afghanistan

I love the Wakhan corridor! What a place with wonderful villages, colorful, warm people and a wild scenery that wakes up your sense of adventure and makes you feel like a true explorer.
