In our cover story, we bring you our annual Cool List — 20 destinations that are making a name for themselves this year: from Panama to Pakistan and Cumbria to Cairo, we’ve scoured the globe for the most exciting destinations for 2020. Elsewhere, we go off -grid in the lush jungles of Guyana, discover the majesty of Sri Lanka’s elephants and spend a long weekend in Bergen. Other highlights include Madrid, Riga, São Paulo, Chiang Rai and San Diego. Our photo story, meanwhile, explores Ethiopia’s rock churches, tucked away in the dramatic Gheralta Mountains.
