Good morning from Khao Sok National Park
Brazil 🇧🇷
Lensois-Maranensis National Park is one of the most mysterious places on the planet. The vast flat territory of the park is covered with huge sand dunes reaching up to 40 m in height.

Spillway at the world's largest hydroelectric power station "Three Gorges" on the Yangtze River
The amount of electricity generated is a record – under 100 billion kWh per year. This allowed China to essentially solve the energy problem.
Recently, they began to say that because of the work of this hydroelectric power station, the poles of the Earth shifted and the length of the day increased.
According to scientists, the dam holds about 45 trillion liters of water, and the water level in the river has become 100 meters higher. Allegedly, this was enough to cause a slowdown in the rotation of our planet.

Guyana is a small country in the north-east of South America with a population of about 730 thousand people.

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.

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

Tanzania 🇹🇿, Lake Natron
Lake Natron is one of the most amazing places in Tanzania, the water of the salt—alkaline reservoir is dangerous for living creatures. However, it is the nesting place of the small flamingo, which arranges its nests on the islands, decorating the pond with its presence and attracting tourists here.
During certain periods, as a result of the vital activity of microorganisms, the lake water turns red and pink, which adds to the attractiveness of the lake.
The water temperature in the lake can rise to +50 ° C, the pH of the alkalinity of the medium ranges from 9 to 10.5. Given this, you can not swim in the pond, even minor contact with water can cause severe burns.
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) 🤩

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.

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.

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.
