5. River Rafting
Fitness doesn’t stop when you have the kids (far from it), so when vacation time comes around and you’re looking for something to entertain your whole family, consider a river rafting expedition. Day trips are fun, but how about you push it for an extended adventure? Red River Adventure has a 5-day expedition through Desolation Canyon (which isn’t nearly as grim as it sounds). More than 50 rapids, several sandy beaches, and a trip through a 5000 foot deep canyon are all part of a challenging trip your family won’t soon forget.

6. Cross the Andes on Horseback
Equestrian adventurers will be hard pressed to find a more satisfying expedition than crossing the Andes on horseback. Equestrian vacations offers this incredible 8-night trek that mimics the historic ride of a revolutionary army led by José de San Martín. Even if you’re not a history buff, the robust scenery and native wildlife are thrills you can’t find anywhere else in the world. Sure, the horses do most of the work, but you’ll be exhausted (in a good way) at the end of this.
