Let\u2019s explore!<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Killarney National Park <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With over 25,000 acres of lush woodlands, sparkling lakes, and high mountain peaks, Killarney National Park is one of Ireland\u2019s most breathtaking treasures. It is home to the only red deer herd on mainland Ireland and a variety of other diverse species, some of which are very rare. It\u2019s because of the vast, delicate nature of Killarney National Park that is was designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in the early 80s. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carrauntoohil Mountain <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The highest peak in Ireland, Carrauntoohil is 3,406 feet high and serves as the central peak of the Macgillycuddy\u2019s Reeks range. The hike to the summit isn\u2019t for the faint of heart, but it offers some of the most spectacular views of the Irish countryside. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Dingle Peninsula<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To truly understand Ireland\u2019s charm, drive or bike the entirety of the Dingle Peninsula. Home to local bed and breakfasts, delicious restaurants, and picturesque beaches, one could easily spend the entire day (or weekend) exploring the charming town of Dingle. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Kerry Way <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Kerry Way is one of the largest walking trails in Ireland. It can take anywhere from eight to ten days, but the journey offers some of the best views in the country. Weaving through the Southern Irish wilderness, The Kerry Way showcases small, often overlooked towns like Glenbeigh and Kenmare. If you don\u2019t have more than a week to spare, you can explore certain parts of the trail! <\/span><\/p>\n<h1><b>Experience Ireland With AESU<\/b><\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/res.aesu.com\/stw\/stwdirectory.aspx?theme=aesu&amp;groupid=aesu-main\"><b>AESU <\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">offers unique, thrilling travel programs for college students and young professionals at affordable rates.
