Which is correct, Routes to circumnavigate or Routes circumnavigating?

(1) These were the spice routes to circumnavigate the globe.


(2) These were the spice routes circumnavigating the globe.


Which of the two is correct? I think sentence (2) is correct. Could you help me clarify it? Thank you always.
