This map is useful to situate in the world where we can find the spectaculars places which we are going to talk about below:

The Great Blue Hole

• The Great Blue Hole is a large underwater hole located in the Caribbean Sea specifically in the coast of Belize.

• The diameter of the circular reef area stretches for about 1,000 feet and provides an ideal habitat for corals to attach and flourish. The dark blue color comes because of the depth of the hole, inside this hole the water is 145m deep. 

• This place is ideal for divers who want to explore an unknown place full of rare animals and plants. In this video you will see the various and spectacular species it has:

Pamukkale (Turkey)

• If you are looking for somewhere different to what you have seen and extremely natural, Pamukkale is ideal for you. Pamukkale, is a natural site in Denizli Providence in the south-western of Turkey. The city contains hot springs and travertines, terraces of carbonate minerals left by the flowing water.

• This place was created by natural phenomenon’s, thousands of years ago earthquakes, which are common in Turkey, created fractures that allowed powerful hot springs to bring water rich in calcium carbonate to the surface. As the water evaporated the chalky material condensed and formed layers which slowly built up walls like the stalactites formed in a cave. 

• Nowadays Pamukkae is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the pools where tourists used to went to, have been closed to save them from the damage.

The Eye of Africa

• If you are the type of person who likes natures in her obscure and the bizarre form, then the ‘Eye of Africa’ is what you should be checking out. 

• From space this mysterious depression with a diameter of fifty kilometers is located in the Sahara Desert of Mauritania and it really does look like a human eye.

• It is said that this place was formed by the movement of the plates tectonics or could also have been fomed with a meteor impact. 

Machu Picchu

• Machu Picchu is one of the greatest symbols of the architecture Inca. It is located 100kmnear the city of Cuzco in Peru and 2320 m above the sea. It is considered one of the newSeven Wonders of the World. One of the peculiarities of this place is that it was abandoned when it was discovered and until S. XX it wasn’t rediscovered.

 

• The surprising perfection and beauty of Machu Picchu’s walls, built by joining stone to stone without any cement or adhesive, have led to many myths about its construction.

• But beyond the myths, the real charm of Machu Picchu is in its squares, its aqueducts and watchtowers, its observatories... Everything gives us the sensation of being abducted by that culture.

Fly Geyser

• Fly Geyser is located about two hours north of Reno, on the edge of the Black Rock Desert. This place is composed by two geysers but one of them is inactive.  The other, was accidentally formed by water well and continuously sprays hot water. Unluckily people aren’t allowed to visit this place because it's a private property.
