Venezuela 🇻🇪
An unforgettable sight of the world's highest Angel waterfall
Surprisingly, if you ask many people about a high and powerful waterfall, the famous Niagara Falls will involuntarily come to mind. Angel is almost 20 times taller than Niagara!
During the rainy season (it usually falls during the period from May to November), the amount of water that the waterfall passes through itself is absolutely titanic — every second (!) it is about 300,000 liters of water.
Israel 🇮🇱
An amazing path of salt islands on the Ein Bokek beach in the Dead Sea.
The water level in the Dead Sea is 430 meters below sea level. Its coast is the lowest piece of land on Earth. The density of water in the Dead Sea is so high that you can lie on its surface like on an air mattress.
Jordan🇯🇴, "French Fortress" in Wadi Rum
Just the perfect decoration for any beautiful movie. No wonder scenes from famous films such as "Dune", "The Martian", "Prometheus", "Lawrence of Arabia" and many others were filmed in Wadi Rum.
A very beautiful castle in the desert, but in fact it is not a "French fortress", as it is usually written about without going into details.
This structure was created relatively recently (the foundation was laid in 1998) for the new location of Fort Boyard (the famous French TV show).

Turkey 🇹🇷
Hagia Sophia is a place of pilgrimage for all guests of Istanbul without exception. And this is not surprising. The ancient temple, which seems to have survived all possible trials over its centuries-old history, has retained its incredible attractiveness and energy.
The Hagia Sophia in Constantinople was the epicenter of Christian life in a huge region until 1453. When these lands came under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, the cathedral was turned into a mosque.
For a long time, the cathedral was more of a museum than a functioning temple, but on July 10, 2020, Hagia Sophia regained the status of a mosque.
Thailand 🇹🇭
Wake up with a view of Wat Arun (Temple of the Dawn) 🤩
The Temple of the Dawn (Wat Arun), built in the Khmer style, is the dominant architectural development of the historical part of Bangkok. In Vedic and Hindu mythology, Arun is the deity of dawn, who controls the celestial chariot of the Sun god.
The architectural masterpiece has become a popular tourist attraction and a recognizable symbol of Bangkok, imprinted on postcards and other souvenirs.
Indonesia 🇮🇩
There is a place in Indonesia where even the most avid travelers have not been yet.
A place where mass tourism, deforestation, industrial fishing and the Internet have not yet reached.
A place where there are only small uninhabited islands with white sand, crabs scurrying everywhere and colorful hermit crabs, small villages and crimson sunsets, which are not found in Bali, Thailand, or the Maldives. Only here.
This place is the Raja Ampat Archipelago (translated as "Four Kings"), located in the eastern part of Indonesia, in the province of West Papua.
China 🇨🇳
Fog cannon leaves behind a rainbow in Chengdu city.
The purpose of fog guns is to reduce the level of harmful particles and dust. They moisten the air and compact solid particles so that they settle to the ground.
Jordan🇯🇴, Jerash
Jerash (ancient name — Gerasa) is one of the three great Roman cities (along with Petra and Palmyra, located in the Syrian desert). Its colonnaded streets, exquisite oval forum, three theaters, two temples and 15 Early Byzantine churches make such a stunning impression that the city is called Eastern Pompeii.
Many well-preserved monuments make Jerash unique, but it remains inaccessible and poorly located.
Mexico 🇲🇽
The town of Valle de Bravo is one of the most popular places for paragliding in the world.
There are two places to start, which differ in difficulty, the strength of the winds and the surface for landing. So beginners in this sport can feel comfortable here.
20-30 minutes of paragliding with an instructor and shooting your impressions on an action camera cost $ 100-150.
Canada 🇨🇦
Gorgeous view directly from the room to the beautiful Niagara Falls.
China 🇨🇳
The "Heavenly Road of the Pamir Plateau" or "Ancient Panlong Road" ("Panlong" is a water dragon from Chinese mythology), this winding road passing through the Kunlun Mountains in Xinjiang is one of the most visually impressive in the world.
When viewed from above, it looks like a giant gray dragon gliding through the Kashgar region of the Uighur Autonomous Region of China.
Mexico 🇲🇽
The Vasconcelos Garden Library, also called the Megabiblioteca, is located in the center of Mexico City (Buenavista district, Cuauhtemoc). It is named after Jose Vasconcelos, philosopher, politician, former president of the National Library of Mexico.
Vasconcelos is a cyclopean structure made of steel, concrete and glass, surrounded by greenery and water, in the center of which is suspended the skeleton of a gray whale. Glass walls, asymmetrical floors, an intricate network of balconies and paths between endless bookshelves allow visitors to literally get lost in book worlds.
Slovakia 🇸🇰
Dawn at the top of Velki Mountain.
One of the most beautiful panoramas in the country opens from the top of Velka Khoch. From here you can see the mountains of all northern Slovakia. For the sake of these stunning views, numerous tourists go to the Forks of the River, sparing no effort and health.
Maldives 🇲🇻
Why is the Maldives such a clear and blue sea?
Firstly, it is the purity of the water, because here it really is. The advantage of the Maldives is that they are located far enough away from trade routes, and therefore the water here remains clean and not poisoned. No oil fields, no heavy trucks.
Secondly, it is white sand because of the large amount of coral crumbs in it. Coral, as you understand, is also white. The rays of the sun, falling on the white bottom, are beaten off and create additional illumination of the water from below.

Greece 🇬🇷
Melissani is an incredibly picturesque cave lake located on one of the Ionian Islands. It is considered one of the most beautiful among the natural attractions of Greece.
Looking at the photo, it's hard not to agree with this.
A transparent azure lake, a cave with grottos and bizarre stalactite formations, ancient myths – these are the main reasons why thousands of tourists seek to see this place.

Peru 🇵🇪
Huacachina is a small village built around a desert oasis in Peru. The oasis is surrounded by beautiful sand dunes and palm trees.
In its center there is a lagoon measuring approximately 200 by 110 meters. And the overall dimensions of this unique place are about 480 by 340 meters.
In the 1940s, the oasis became a popular resort for wealthy Peruvians. It was believed that the waters of the lagoon have healing properties and are able to overcome arthritis, rheumatism, asthma and bronchitis.
Australia, Lucky Bay Beach
Lucky Bay is the same beach in Australia where most of the photos with kangaroos are taken. In addition, it is believed that here is the whitest sand in the World. And although there are no tropical beauties of Queensland, this is certainly one of the best beaches in Australia.
The sandy coating on Lucky Bay Beach consists of the smallest grains of quartz without impurities - hence its milky color. It is not surprising that bonfires are not allowed on this beach.
Sheltered from the winds, Lucky Bay is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, fishing, surfing, launching small boats, as well as whale watching.
Albania 🇦🇱
Albania is a small state located in the western part of the Balkan Peninsula. It is one of the few traditional Muslim countries in Europe.
Albania is a fascinating country with picturesque nature and rich history, where beautiful beaches lie next to breathtaking mountain ranges and sparkling lakes.
Most of Albania's territory consists of mountains and hills covered with forests. Lynxes, bears, gray wolves, wild cats, foxes, vultures and golden eagles live in the forests of Albania.
Italy 🇮🇹, the city of Naples
Naples (from the ancient Greek Νέα Πόλις — "new city", in Italian Napoli, in Neapolitan Napule) is the capital of the Italian region of Campania, the largest city in southern Italy, the third largest metropolis of the country — after Rome and Milan. The population of Naples is 970,185 people (as of 2016).
Not far from the city is the famous volcano Vesuvius, which is the only active volcano in mainland Europe. The city has a large bay with a picturesque view of the islands of Capri and Ischia.
South Africa 🇿🇦
Boulders Beach is the famous penguin beach in South Africa, at a distance of about 40 km from Cape Town by road.
African penguins have been living on the warm coast since 1982. It all started with two breeding pairs, and over the years this colony has managed to increase to almost 3,000 individuals.
Favorable conditions for exotic birds were created when commercial trawling of fish in False Bay stopped: the number of sardines and anchovies, which form part of the penguins' diet, gradually increased in the waters.
UAE 🇦🇪, Dubai
Dubai Miracle Garden opened its doors to visitors on February 14, 2013.
The garden is unique primarily in that all this floral riot grows in a completely dead desert. To grow flowers in such difficult conditions, the park needs 757,000 liters of water daily!
Technologies allow to use for this purpose the water from city drains which has passed cleaning.
China 🇨🇳, Huangtengxia Tianmen Sky Walk Glass Bridge
This bridge is a real engineering miracle. It rises above the gorge at an altitude of 500 meters, which is easy to compare with a building of 166 floors. The edge of the bridge and the rock into which it is built are separated by 358 meters. The structure resembles a tennis racket, which is spread over a cliff.
When tourists walk across the glass bridge, they hear the sudden sound of broken glass. A split second, which may seem like a real nightmare, and cracks appear on the glass! However, this is just a sound and visual effect that will cause an adrenaline rush, and the colors of the world around will definitely become brighter.
Spain 🇪🇸
Such a diverse and beautiful Spain 🤩
