Amazing Places Of The World

1. Pamukkale, TurkeyPamukkale is consistently present in numerous ratings of the most beautiful places on Earth and it is absolutely deserved. This is a series of thermal springs that have fantastically carved “steps” in a snow-white limestone slope. Today, not only travelers who come to see the miracle of nature come here, but also those whose goal is to improve their health, and they are happy to immerse themselves in shallow travertines. Among the open for swimming, one of the most popular is the Cleopatra's Pool.

The attraction is located far from the tourist centers, therefore, going here from the nearest resort town, you need to be prepared for a long trip. By the way, the fragile walls of limestone travertines are sensitive to damage, and many of them are forbidden to walk. In order to go around the rest, you have to take off your shoes. Compliance with this rule is closely monitored by security.

2. Waitomo Caves, New Zealand Waitomo Caves in the New Zealand Waikato region are quite interesting in themselves: here you can observe the intricate limestone growths and bizarre passages created many centuries ago. But what makes them truly unique and worth seeing is the "inhabitants" of the Svetlyachkov Cave. These are thousands of mushroom mosquitoes, which, accumulating on its arches, create the effect of "starry sky".

3. Retba Lake, Senegal When leaving for Senegal, it is worth understanding that there are so many colorful sights that it is unlikely to be visited all at once. But what is definitely worth your attention is the mysterious “pink lake” - Retba - one of the most beautiful places on Earth. It looks exactly like a picture from a children's book - snow-white shores and pink water. For such an unusual color, the oldest cyanobacteria living in the salt lake are responsible.

Getting there is quite simple: the lake is located just 30 km from the local capital, Dakar. In the city you will probably be offered taxi services; trips to this attraction are incredibly popular.

4. Dragon Trees on Socotra Island, Yemen. If you are Indiana Jones, who likes unexplored lands, you have a direct route to one of the most unusual places in Yemen - Soctor Island. The reason for the fantasy trees growing here is the allocated juice of bright red color. Having made an incision in the bark, you can see how the Dragon Tree begins to “bleed”.

Before, there were quite a lot of such trees (sometimes millennials) on the Canary Islands, but due to the active collection of valuable red resin, their number decreased significantly. You can still see the small grove in Yemen.

5. Shondong Cave, Vietnam Located in the Vietnamese province of Quangbin, Shondong Cave is considered the largest in the world. Here you can see passages up to 200 meters high and up to 150 meters wide.

In addition, travelers are delighted with the underground river, as well as plants under the holes in the arches of the cave, because of which sunlight breaks in. To see the cave, head to the Fongnia Kebang National Park.

6. Solonchak Uyuni, Bolivia Listing the most unusual places in the world, one cannot but remember the Salar de Uyuni. The natural pearl of Bolivia, Uyuni is the salt marsh, that is, a dried-up salt lake. It becomes a real miracle of nature in the rainy season. Covered with a thin layer of water, the salty surface turns into the largest natural mirror in the world. On a fine day, this "mirror" reflects a clear Bolivian sky - the perfect backdrop for a photo.

Locals claim that February is the best time to visit the salt marsh, but in autumn and spring this unique place is also very beautiful.

7. Luminous water in the Maldives. The most amazing places in the world can be found in popular holiday destinations, the main thing is to know where and when to look. The Maldives is a paradise, but you probably did not know about one of its faces. In the Maldives, a unique "starry sky" appears straight in the ocean!
