Allow Disney+ to satisfy your wanderlust from your sofa, with a guided tour of three stunning countries – and no need for awkward neck cushions or terrible airline food.

Prepare for a breath-taking journey to the world’s most glorious hidden beauty spots, as an incredible new National Geographic Wild series showcases rugged landscapes in all their natural splendour. And you won’t be alone – you’ll also meet some fabulous animals, thriving in their habitats, as you see these countries in a whole new light.

Here are the three hand-picked hotspots you have a first-class ticket to.

Chile

That slither down the side of South America is home to the most spectacular and unique wildlife. In fact, did you know that a third of Chilean mammals can’t be found anywhere else on Earth? So this is an opportunity to meet species you’ve never seen before and discover how Chile’s unique shape makes it the perfect place for all sorts of different animals to live. You’ll also encounter one-of-a-kind coastal landscapes that support amazing plant life – it’s a feast for the eyes.

Japan

When you think of Japan, it’s easy to picture the neon lights, sushi bars and jostling zebra crossings of bustling Tokyo. But beyond the city, have you ever seen the incredible snowy mountains that offer a completely different experience? Far away from the bullet trains and buzz, we meet the monkeys living in the Japanese Alps, including a charismatic chap called Hiro – a natural in front of the camera, he becomes our cheeky tour guide, introducing us to a brand-new Japan.

Sri Lanka

The teardrop of India boasts more than amazing cups of tea. The beauty of the island is fast making it a popular honeymoon choice, but beyond the romance of the tourist trail there’s so much more to see. Watch this stunning show to meet the most gorgeous animals living in varied landscapes, from elephants roaming free to sea turtle hatchlings taking their first steps on a dark night.
