What I find (mine are now 17 and 14) is that a little passive sightseeing
goes a long way. Going somewhere to actively do something (even if it's
eating or shopping) works better. Is she used to an ocean, to mountains,
to TALL trees? If not, then sightseeing that includes those are good but
maybe just one day. I think the suggestion about mudbaths is really cool
but you should call, ahead, for example to Dr. Wilkinson's (one of the
oldest with great warm mineral swimming pools)

to see if 12 year olds are an ok age for the heat of a mud bath.
