Online tools such as Google’s Street View Treks and You Visit’s panoramas are a wanderlust-inducing way to bring an atlas or globe to life for kids. From the sky, the vast Petra complex in Jordan blends seamlessly with the arid desert but dive down with Treks, and you’re soon “walking with the Nabataeans”. Over in Peru, You Visit’s 360-degree panorama of Machu Picchu reveals facts and folklore, just like English Heritage’s online tour of Stonehenge, which includes live cams from the lesser-visited middle.
