VERTICAL NATURE: BRIDGES & CLIFFS
CHINA
ZHANGJIAJIE GLASS 
BRIDGE, ZHANGJIAJIE
Surrounded by massive quartz-
sandstone pillars that rise 
dramatically from the dense 
treetops of the Zhangjiajie 
Grand Canyon, the Zhangjiajie 
Glass Bridge is among the 
longest and highest glass-
bottom bridges in the world. 
Walking across its glass panels, 
with views of an otherworldly 
landscape below, is slightly 
nerve-wracking but thoroughly 
thrilling.
MOROCCO
HIGH ATLAS MOUNTAINS HIKE AND TRADITIONAL LUNCH WITH 
BERBER FAMILY, IMLIL
Hike through the High Atlas Mountains near Imlil, where the journey is as much 
about people as it is about the landscape. Trek past terracotta-hued stone villages, 
walnut groves, apple orchards, and mountain streams, pausing to take in the beauty 
of seasonally snow-dusted peaks, raw ridges, and deep valleys. Your reward is a 
slow-cooked tagine, shared with an Amazigh family on a terrace, served with a side 
of sweeping mountain views.
Hayes & Jarvis guest  
Susan Merritt says: 
My second, excellent and 
seamlessly organised 
bucket list trip with Hayes 
& Jarvis was just as good, 
if not better than the first. 
I cannot recommend this 
company enough.
