Space travel is so “in” right now, but before you don your space suit in search of interstellar beauty, you’re gunna want to knock these unbelievable destinations off your bucket list. Not only are many of them in countries which make for amazing trips, they are unlike anywhere else you’ll ever see. Here are ten real life places places that will blow your mind, and win on Instagram…
Lake Natron, Tanzania
You’re not insane, this naturally hot spring in Africa is so “hot” it turned the water red.
Vatnajökull, Iceland
How about a city sized cave, made of pure glacier blue ice to spice up your winter travel?
Bromo Volcano, Java, Indonesia
Mars takes years to reach. In less than a days flight you can see terrain just like it in Java…
Grand Prismatic Spring, Yellowstone, Wyoming USA
Yep, those colors are totally real. Why? You can thank the pigmented Archaea.
Waitomo Glowworm Caves, New Zealand
Ultimate adventure? A boat ride in luminescent cave with light from tiny micro creatures…
Hang Son Doong Caves, Vietnam
In what looks like the set of a Star Wars film, these Vietnamese caves literally look unreal.
Lencois Maranhenses Park, Brazil
If you think you’re seeing an endless sea of unique sand bars and water, you’re not wrong.
Namib Naukluft Park, Namibia
Why travel to Mars and risk getting stuck like Matt Damon when you could just go here?
Wulinyuang Vista, China
Though I wouldn’t try building an airport here, the views are breathtaking…
Farafra White Desert, Egypt
Sure, we’ve seen desert, but white desert, with crazy rock wonders?
To me, I really dream of seeing the Iceland view! It is an easy flight and often cheap but I have not yet made that journey. I even live in a city with two airlines that fly nonstop… Oh well. Have you been there?
