The desire to travel ? Take your backpack, we take care of finding you incredible places.
It's almost summer, your banker is mouthing, and your ELP has been cracking for a long time. But nobody will deprive you of holidays. We did not say, anyone. And if you want to avoid the classic places, here are ten fabulous places that will make you want to take a plane ticket, to make your bag and go around the world.
1.Maunsell Forts, Kent, England
From the name of their designer, Guy Maunsell, these fortification towers erected on the Thames and Mersey Estuary are still standing memories of the Second World War. Now abandoned, we can see them in clear weather from the ground but you will need a boat to get there. In the 1960s and 1970s, Maunsell Forts were used as a haven for pirate radio stations, and similar construction is also home to Sealand's non-independent micro-nation.
2.The Fly Ranch Geyser, Nevada, USA
Even if one could believe in a natural wonder, technically it is not. This kind of man-made geyser was formed when an oil well was poorly sealed, leaving mineral deposits on the surface and eventually erecting the geyser. It is small (about 1,5m height) but grows each year. Its psychedelic color is due to the thermophilic algae present in the water.
3.The Cave of Roseau Flute, Guangxi, China
Deeply buried in the south-east of China, the Cave of the Roseau Flute owes its name to the reeds that surround it and with which one can make flutes. Until then, it makes sense. The cave has been a tourist attraction since time immemorial, it has indeed found inscriptions dating back over a millennium. As for its incredible light, it is artificial.
4.Mount Katmai Crater Lake, Alaska
At the top of Mount Katmai, at 2047 meters above sea level, there is no summit but a hole. A caldera 800 meters deep, formed during an eruption in 1912, and which is bathed by a crater lake estimated to be 300 meters deep. Do B.A.S.E. jump could be a good idea, but then you should wear a wingsuit. Or a diving suit of a reasonable thickness. We are in Alaska anyway.
5.The wreck of the USS Kittiwake, Cayman Islands
The USS Kittiwake was built in 1945 and served in the US Navy for almost half a century as a submarine escort. Now the ship is a submarine itself, an artificial reef lying on the ocean floor in the Cayman Islands. This is one of the wrecks most sought after by diving enthusiasts, who appreciate the wealth of its visit, all 76 meters long.
6.Island of Vila Franca do Campo, Azores Archipelago
In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the Azores are formed of volcanic rock and were once connected to the myth of Atlantis. Among this series of islands, the islet of Vila Franca do Campo encloses a natural swimming pool of almost perfect circular shape, only connected to the sea by a narrow passage. This configuration drastically reduces maritime agitation and therefore offers a placid and clear water. A dream playground for Orlando Duque and for a stage of Red Bull Cliff Diving, from where divers jump from a height of 28 meters. Note that the block previously contained a winery and a military base before being classified as a nature reserve.
7.The Cenote Ditznup, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico
A cenote is a sinkhole filled totally or partially with fresh water. The Yucatan Peninsula is full and the Ditznup is one of the most famous of them. There are about 3000 Yucatan cenotes, most of them poorly documented, as well as an underground river of 160 km. You can visit the cave and its stalactites, the premises granting it the role of the municipal pool.
8.The Treasury of Petra, Jordan
You've probably seen some pictures of Petra's famous treasure in Jordan, but it's worth a second look. The candles illuminate the foreground, just in front of buildings millennia and carved in the rock. Do you want to see it for yourself? You will first have to walk for half an hour in a long rocky corridor, the Sîq.
9.Shilin Karst, China
The legends on Shilin Karst abound, but there is at least one that is false, it is that they are petrified trees. It is limestone and this heritage of humanity is accessible to visitors. The park covers an area of 350 km². It is composed of large rocks coming out of the ground in the manner of stalagmites, which gave the area the name of the stone forest.
10.The Rio Tulija, Mexico
The Rio Tulija, located in the Agua Azul area of southern Mexico, is world famous for its blue and crystalline waters. It's an aquatic paradise for professional kayakers, like Rafa Ortiz, who brought with him a crew of pals, who will not forget this trip anytime soon.
