The world’s largest salt flat transforms into the biggest natural mirror on Earth
after it rains. The sky reflects so perfectly that it becomes almost impossible to tell
where the ground ends and the sky begins.

SOCOTRA ISLAND

This island is home to plants found almost nowhere else on Earth. Its famous Dragon’s Blood Trees look like giant upside-down umbrellas, making the landscape resemble an alien planet.

LAKE HILLIER

Egypt takes you to a time of pharaohs and
pyramids. Gaze at the Sphinx, sail on the Nile
River, and explore temples in Luxor. It’s like a
history lesson you can touch!

TURKMENISTAN

Italy is all about history, art, and yummy food.
Walk through old places in Rome, ride in boats
through Venice’s watery streets, and eat lots of
gelato. Don’t forget to see famous statues and
eat pasta like a pro.

WAITOMO GLOWWORM CAVES

Thousands of tiny glowworms light up the cave ceiling, making it look like a sky
full of stars. Visitors travel through the caves by boat beneath this magical blue
glow.

ZHANGJIAJIE

Massive sandstone pillars rise high into the clouds. These incredible rock formations inspired the floating mountains in the movie Avatar!

Dennnis-Doyle-Fly-Geyser-6-High-Res

This colourful geyser wasn’t created by nature alone. It formed after a well was accidentally drilled, and over time, colourful minerals created a rainbow-like landscape.

Marble-Caves-Northern-Patagonia-Chile1

These caves have smooth blue marble walls carved by water over thousands of
years. The colour changes depending on the sunlight and the season.
