1. Turkey – Cappadocia
Cappadocia is located on the Anatolian Plateau in central Turkey. Thousands of years ago, volcanic eruptions covered the area with lava, which has been eroded by wind and rain over time to form these uniquely shaped landscapes. The region is scattered with volcanic rock caves, underground cavities, and valley crevices. Nature’s astonishing craftsmanship earned it a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage List. To get a comprehensive view of this city full of bizarre mountains and rocks, taking a hot air balloon ride is the best way.

The Uyuni Salt Flats is the largest salt flat in the world, located in Bolivia. Its nearly 4,000 square kilometers of white expanse make it feel like stepping into a fairyland. The entire lake surface acts like a mirror, earning it the nickname “Mirror of the Sky,” making it hard to tell whether you’re walking on the sky or on water.

In the Quechua language, Machu Picchu means “old mountain peak.” The ancient Incan citadel is situated on a beautiful high mountain over 100 kilometers northwest of Cusco, the former capital of the Inca Empire, surrounded by tropical jungles. The ancient city sits at an altitude of 2,400 meters on a cliff, with the roaring Urubamba River flowing below. Due to Machu Picchu’s sacred, mysterious, and isolated atmosphere, it was designated as a UNESCO dual World Cultural and Natural Heritage site in 1983.
