00:32 up this remote archipelago outnumbering humans.
00:36 Lawn-lined houses, rocky shorelines and lush waterfalls are part of the Scandinavian landscape
00:41 but it also has a fantastic food scene.
00:44 They're well worth a visit, no matter what time of year.

00:59 Ojos de Mar, Bolivia Six turquoise waterholes lie within the salty
01:07 plains of Ojos de Mar within the Tola Grande place of Bolivia.
01:11 Inhabited with the aid of using stromatolites, deposits shaped with the assistance of algae
01:16 and microorganisms, the water can alternate barely in color, relying on the sun's perspective
01:22 from brilliant blue to sea foam green.
01:25 There's significant scientific interest due to the stromatolites, which are some of the
01:29 oldest traces of life on earth and help give rise to the oxygen in our current atmosphere.
01:35 On top of everything, the salt flats bring people in from around the world, creating
01:39 a magical, crystalline mirror of the world around it unlike anywhere else in the world.

02:41 during the winter.
02:43 In the summertime it is also an equally stunning site, perfect for canoeing and fast swimming
02:47 in the crystal-clear glacial waters.
02:50 Emerald Lake is named in fame for its jade-colored waters, as legendary guide Tom Wilson found

03:50 Now mainly used as a museum, the monumental 15th-century Magara Fort dominates the old
03:56 town and network of box buildings, shops and markets, most notable for its distinctive
04:01 blue buildings which were colored to deter insects and keep the dwellings cool during
04:05 intense summers.
04:06 The ancient city is encircled by an imposing wall and can only be accessed through eight
04:11 magnificent gates.
04:13 19.

04:21 is this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
04:24 It was founded well before Captain Cook discovered land at Botany Bay with Dutch explorers touching
04:29 down in the 17th century.
04:31 It's a diverse area made up entirely of tiny white shells, stromalites on the Himalayan
04:36 Pool shore and the salt mine at Useless Loop.
04:40 It produces some of the purest grade salt in the world.
04:43 This is the perfect place to go on a road trip and many travelers will include it on
04:47 their list while traveling north along the west coast from Perth.
04:51 Take some time while you explore, it would be all too easy to lose yourself in Shark
04:55 Bay.
04:57 18.
04:59 Paracas, Peru In a small town in the Ica region of Peru,
05:05 Paracas is where the desert meets the sea.
05:07 A vacation in this area isn't complete without a stunning boat ride to iconic Isla Ballestas
05:13 with rocky islands off the Pacific coast uniquely known for diverse wildlife, including flocks
05:19 of sea lions and baby penguin crowds alike.
05:22 While it's fantastic to see so many birds and marine life coexist, you'll see parts
05:26 of the desert while touring that are unlike anywhere else.

05:35 everything from a tour of the Ballestas Islands, the National Reserve and plenty of time to
05:39 relax in the bay in between.
05:42 17.

05:50 Moorish villages that dot the southwestern region of Portugal have started moving crowds
05:55 away from the region's busier hotspots.

06:02 Mai in Lagos, making it a great winter sun option too.

06:12 nightlife, local food and rich history.
06:15 This is Europe's best-kept secret that you won't want to miss.
06:20 17.

06:27 best beaches in the Aegean without the buzz of tourists from Santorini or Mykonos.

07:11 It's a vast area of extremes, snowy peaks, scorching sands and wildflower meadows alike.
07:18 The national park encompasses a wide variety of varied landscapes.
07:22 One of the most popular spots is the multi-hued Artistes Palette, a series of eroded hills
07:28 whose coloring is due to the mountain's oxidation of natural metal deposits.
07:33 The park is also recognized as a prime spot for stargazing by the International Dark Sky
07:38 Association.
07:39 And the park has rugged beauty that keeps people returning to the desert as a magical
07:44 barren desert landscape would.
07:46 With a name like Death Valley, you can imagine many people would skip out on this level of
07:51 beauty without realizing what they're missing out on.

08:12 14.
08:14 Mashuram, India
08:18 Famed for being the wettest place in India, it's a popular hill station among Indian
08:22 tourist spots.
08:23 And there are no mountains in Bangladesh.
08:26 The rain-bearing clouds deposit most of their moisture and rain in the hills, and in the
08:30 winters they receive the northeast monsoon showers.
08:34 The region receives an annual rainfall of nearly 12 meters.
08:37 For all its rain, it's blessed with incredible flora and fauna.
08:41 While visiting, make sure to check out Sarampoonchara, most famous for the giant stalagmite formations,
08:47 which resemble the shape of shiveling.

09:16 with its share of gifted artists.

09:23 easily be explored by bicycle or car on the network of available country roads and highways.
09:30 12.
09:31 Bayun, Cambodia
09:35 Built in honor of one of Cambodia's most famous kings, Javavarman VII, Bayun is a 12th-century
09:41 state temple with unique architectural wonder in the heart of Angkor Thom.
09:46 The discovery was vital as it allowed people to better understand the Khmer Empire's beliefs,
09:51 values and power.
09:52 Angkor Thom translates to "Great City," which signifies its cultural connection with
09:57 heaven and earth.
09:59 Fifty-four gothic towers carved with 216 gargantuan smiling faces of Avvakalashnabara fill the
10:06 temple.
10:07 The designs showcase the shift from Hinduism to Mayan Buddhism.
10:11 It's off the beaten track not far from the wondrous Angkor Wat, but still a close second
10:17 in popularity.
10:19 11.
10:20 Grand Teton National Park, Jackson Hole, Wyoming
10:25 The three peaks of the national park are among Wyoming's most recognizable sights.

10:54 acre landscape or floating down Snake River as solid options as well.

11:05 The world's highest waterfall with 3,212 feet cascades, it's located in the UNESCO-protected
11:12 Canamea National Park.
11:14 This location is the actual inspiration for the Disney film Up, and it's every bit as
11:19 wonderful as the animation suggests.
11:22 Though the site is only accessible by boat or plane, it's absolutely worth the trip
11:26 out.
11:27 Tourism is an excellent way for the locals of Angel Falls to make a profit, as lots of
11:32 natives take up jobs like tour guides, campground officials or even boat chauffeurs.
11:38 It's the highest uninterrupted waterfall globally, and three times as tall as the Eiffel
11:42 Tower.
11:43 This stunning site takes an incredible turn during the warmer, drier seasons as the water
11:48 is known to evaporate before it ever touches the ground, forming a mist instead of the
11:53 usual plume.

12:44 palaces.

13:37 of other national parks, making it a hidden gem that gives you the space and quiet to
13:43 soak up the magic of the bush.
13:46 7.
13:48 Lake Eyre, Australia
13:52 The Salt Lake constitutes the lowest point on the continent and has a vibrant pink color
13:57 due to its salinity.
13:59 Unfortunately, the extreme salt levels won't make much for a swimming experience, but there's
14:04 plenty to see, even if you can't bear the touch of the painfully salty waters.
14:09 It's normally dry due to evaporated water, but fills completely just twice every 100
14:14 years on average.
14:16 Now the natural beauty comes when the water level is low, as the glittering crystallized
14:20 surface stretches just about as far as the eye can see, though it's spectacular to see
14:25 the water birds descend in the thousands and fish converge in channels as it floods.
14:31 We only have 5 left on the list.

15:47 and seaside parks, the Seven Sisters.

15:56 unparalleled views of the English Channel, it was most famous as it was a well-known
16:01 landmark connecting Totem to Camden Town in 1840, only to be cemented in 1872 with the

16:48 the inner rooms during the intense summer weather.

17:28 You can find endangered crown cranes and black-feet gulls there, earning the famous beach its
17:33 name, home of the cranes.
