Nowadays, the architectural monument has been completely restored. The bright walls of the Chenonceau Castle are a real decoration of the river valley and look very picturesque, and the wing of the building, thrown over the Cher, gives the impression that the castle is floating on water. An excursion to the historical estate allows you to see the atmosphere of the private chambers of the French queens and favorites.

Namibia🇳🇦, Namib Desert, Sossusflei dunes
Almost in the very center of the famous Namib desert there are beautiful sand dunes, which are called Sossusvlei or Sossusvlei (in the original Sossusvlei).
The dunes here are among the highest in the world. Many reach 200 meters in height. The record holder in the Sossusflei Valley is a dune named Big Daddy Kane with a height of about 325 meters.
The color of the sand in the Sossusflei valley is certainly not blood-red, but rather pink-orange, and is due to the high content of iron oxides. But sometimes, under certain circumstances and positions of the sun, the dunes seem almost red.

Spain 🇪🇸, Barcelona, Camp Nou Stadium
Camp Nou is the largest stadium in Catalonia, the home stadium of FC Barcelona since its foundation (1957).
Camp Nou is considered the most spacious not only in Spain, but also in Europe, and the second largest sports facility in the world. It accommodates about 100,000 people.
The construction of Camp Nou began on March 28, 1954, as Barcelona's previous stadium, Camp de Les Courts, could not be expanded. In addition, Barcelona's arch-enemy Real Madrid played at the large and comfortable Santiago Bernabeu stadium, which was an additional incentive for the grandiose construction.
Camp Nou means "New Field" and until 2000 it was not the official, but the popular name of the stadium. For 46 years, the stadium was called Estadi del FC Barcelona.

Brazil 🇧🇷, Lencois-Maranensis
Right on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean is the most beautiful Brazilian National Park Lençóis Maranhenses (translated from Portuguese Lençóis Maranhenses - "sheets of Maranhenses"). Without a doubt, it should be attributed to the most mysterious places on our planet. The territory is occupied by snow-white sand dunes up to 40 meters high, between which small lakes with turquoise water can be seen here and there.
But Lens is not a desert at all, because it rains regularly here. Rainwater accumulates between the embankments, gradually becoming blue, green and turquoise and forming lagoons, in which, by the way, you can even swim.

Australia 🇦🇺, Lord Howe Island
Lord Howe is a unique volcanic island in the Tasman Sea, shaped like a boomerang, stretched from north to south for 10 km and having a width of about 2 km.
Lord Howe impresses with its pure, untouched beauty. There are no overhead power lines, no high-rise buildings, only fresh air is filled with birdsong and mountains tend to the sky from all sides. Most of the territory is occupied by a luxurious marine reserve and subtropical forest. Lord Howe Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
There are restrictions on the use of cars on the island. There is also no mobile connection. An ideal place for those who want to experience unity with nature.
Mexico 🇲🇽, Isla Mujeres (Island of Women)
Isla Mujeres is a popular resort island in Mexico. You can get here quickly by ferry from Cancun; but the atmosphere here is like on another planet. Francisco Hernandez de Cordova, the first European to visit Yucatan, gave the island a name meaning "Island of Women" (from Spanish mujer — woman) — he went ashore in 1517 and found clay statues of half-dressed women on the island.
Today tourists have come here more often, and yet the resort on the island of Mujeres has largely preserved the unique atmosphere of a sleepy fishing village, and prices here are lower than in Cancun. The island is only 8 km long and 2 km wide, but exotic animals are found here. The climate of the island is tropical, the sea is turquoise—blue and warm all year round.
