To restrict an enumeration of just some of the most beautiful places in the world would be a crime, simply because there is so much that have yet to be discovered by the human race. While we have a whole lifetime to figure out these missing pieces, for now we can remain grateful for the natural wonders we have the privilege of enjoying during our existence.
Do yourselves a favor and list these places down in your travel bucketlist to complete the experience of what it means to be a true inhabitant of the beautiful planet Earth.
Pyramids of Giza (El Giza, Egypt)
How these marvelous architectural wonders were built, we may never know. Aliens? Mutants? The theories pile up as the years progress. However, what we do know is that they are beautiful, and we’re glad they’re here.
Namib Desert (Namibia)
This vast land of red sand dunes and eerily skeletal trees will make you feel like a true dessert goddess. Fun fact: The Namibia Desert was the filming place for the blockbuster hit Mad Max: Fury Road.
Salar de Uyuni (Daniel Campos, Bolivia)
The world’s largest salt mine is also the world’s biggest mirror, where one can look straight into his or her own soul. Here, the thin line between land and sky is blurred.
Keukenhof Park, Holland (The Netherlands)
A feast for the eyes, Holland’s multicolored tulips truly are a sight to behold. It is here that you will see that there are so much more colors to appreciate in the world.
Vatnajökull (Iceland)
Considered as the largest glacier in Iceland, Vatnajökull is also an ice world of its own. Beneath lay an expanse of breathtaking volcanoes, caves, and canyons.
Ashikaga Flower Park (Ashikaga, Japan)
Transport yourself into a pastel pink wonderland as you visit Ashikaga Flower Park, home to some of the world’s longest rows of bountiful wisteria trees.
The Great Blue Hole: Belize
Imagine a 1,000-foot-wide sinkhole, home to a vast number of mysterious creatures that lay underneath—this is The Great Blue Hole located in the middle of Belize’s Lighthouse Reef. Scuba divers have discovered massive limestone stalactites and stalagmites underneath as well, all said to have formed during the last glacial period.
Lavender fields (Provence, France)
Book your tickets to the Lavender fields of Provence—the best-smelling place in France.
Machu Picchu (Peru)
Clothed in mystery, the majestic stone walls of Machu Picchu also give a fantastic view of Peru’s lush greenery.
Glowworm Caves (Waitomo, New Zealand)
What may seem like tiny little fireflies are actually bioluminescent larvae that mimic the glow of the cosmos. While entering a cave full of worms isn’t actually appealing to hear, seeing it in person is a sight to behold.
