Man-made wonders of the planet
In 1911, an archaeologist from the United States, Hiram Bingham, while in Peru, accidentally discovered the ruins of a fortress city hidden in the Andes. Machu Picchu.
It is believed that the town was founded in the middle of the 15th century and for some time served as a residence for the ruler of the Inca Empire Pachacutec, and after his death it turned into a place where children of the nobility were taught. Tourists are attracted by the unique architecture of Machu Picchu.
Located at an altitude of more than 2 km above sea level, ancient city attracts travelers with unusual buildings built of polished rectangular stones. In total, about 200 buildings have been preserved in it, including several temples dedicated to the sun god Inti. Modern scientists were struck by the scale of the buildings, because in order to build them, it was necessary to have the broadest knowledge in the field of engineering, geology, astronomy and other sciences that mankind did not possess at that time. How the ancient Incas created the city remains a big mystery. Some researchers even seriously suggest that aliens took part in the construction of Machu Picchu.
Flower fields in Holland
The Netherlands is known in every corner of the world not only for the Red Light District or the Marijuana Museum, but also for the picturesque fields of tulips.
The fashion for growing these flowers dates back to the distant 16th century. It was then that the botanist Karl Clusius first planted several tulip bulbs in the Leiden Botanical Garden.
Outlandish flowers quickly fell in love with the local population, soon any noble Dutchman considered it an honor to grow them at home. Today, tulips of all varieties and the most incredible shades grow on endless plantations located on the coast of the North Sea, as well as near Amsterdam, The Hague, Leiden, Enkhuizen and Delft. You can admire the incredibly beautiful flower fields in the Netherlands from mid-April to the end of the first decade of May.
The most unusual gardens are in Japan. To be convinced of this, it is enough to visit the Hitachi National Park, which spreads over as much as 120 hectares in the city of Hitachinaka on the island of Honshu.
Previously, there was a US military base in its place, but since 1973, the Japanese authorities decided to sow the vast territories with luxurious flowers, shrubs and trees. For the whole 18 years, work was carried out to improve the park, and in 1991 it was first opened to the public. Cherry blossoms, kochia, tulips, lilies and other plants bloom at different times of the year, turning Hitachi into a place of indescribable beauty.
Unusual creations of nature
In the Chinese province of Gansu, not far from the city of Zhangye, there is a unique Danxia Geopark. He became famous throughout the world thanks to the unusual colored rocks.
It may seem to an inexperienced tourist that a person had a hand in their creation, but this is not so. Zhangye Danxia rocks are a natural object, they were formed over 24 million years from deposits of red sandstone and other mineral rocks. Their unusual shapes, colors and patterns are the result of numerous weather disasters.. Today, there is not a single landscape formation on the planet that even remotely resembles Danxia, so the geopark is very popular among lovers of unusual experiences.
Contrary to expectations, Moon Valley is not located on the natural satellite of the Earth, but in the northwestern part of Argentina. The Ischigualasto Provincial Park got its name because of its alien appearance.
There is practically no flora and fauna in the valley. Its attraction is unusual geological formations, similar to polished bowling balls with a diameter of up to 70 cm. Scientists today are unable to explain their origin. The area gained particular interest among tourists after NASA employees tested their rovers on it.
Located in the Hunan province of China, the Wulingyuan Mountains are 3,000 peaks and cliffs covered with greenery, some of which reach a height of up to 800 m.
Between them there are gorges with picturesque lakes, streams and waterfalls. Few people know, but it was the mountains of Wulingyuan that inspired the authors of the film "Avatar" to create fabulous landscapes that amaze the audience.
Underground road to hell
Listing unusual places in the world, it is worth mentioning the Gates of Hell, located in the Karakum desert (Turkmenistan). An attraction with such an impressive name is a gas crater, the depth of which reaches 20 m, and the diameter is 60 m.
It was formed in 1971 after an unsuccessful search for underground gas. While drilling a well, Soviet geologists stumbled upon a void filled with natural gas, into which the earth and equipment located on its surface fell through. To prevent the gas from escaping from the crater and poisoning people living in nearby settlements, it was decided to set fire to it.
The mineral seekers expected that it would go out in a few days, but they were greatly mistaken. More than 40 years have passed since the formation of the crater, and the natural gas in it burns without ceasing. From the outside, this spectacle has a mystical appearance.
Forgotten corners of the world
The most beautiful abandoned places in the world have always attracted the attention of travelers. Once in Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina), tourists should go to the long-forgotten bobsleigh track.
A modern, world-class track was built on the eve of the 1984 Winter Olympics, its length was more than 1.5 km. The track was used after the end of the Olympics until the start of the civil war in Yugoslavia in 1991. The hostilities in this Balkan country have long ended, but the interest in bobsledding among the local population has subsided. The track, where the best athletes of the planet fought for prizes, has been in an abandoned state for more than two decades and is of interest only to travelers.
The small town of Pripyat in the north of Ukraine can be called without exaggeration the most interesting settlement in the post-Soviet space. Founded in 1970 as a city of nuclear scientists, after 16 years it ceased to exist. The reason for this was the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant located 3 km from it. After the explosion at the power unit, the entire population of Pripyat was evacuated. The city turned into an exclusion zone, and the people began to call it a ghost.
Today in Pripyat everything looks the same as at the time of the tragedy. Once in the city, as if transported back 3 decades. The walls of buildings are decorated with communist slogans, schools and kindergartens are waiting for pupils, and apartments are waiting for their owners. But the city differs from other settlements in that no one is going to return to it. Its streets are filled with a piercing silence, and only tourists and guides meet among the people.
Travelers looking for the most beautiful abandoned places in the world should head to Australia. On this distant mainland in Homebush Bay, the remains of the steamship Airfield have been resting for many years.
The British ship was launched in 1911 and carried ammunition and coal during World War II. Now Airfield is considered the most famous abandoned ship on the planet. Real thickets of mango trees grew on its deck, which is why it was popularly called the "Floating Forest". The ship looks especially spectacular in the rays of sunset.
We were lucky to be born on the most beautiful of the planets, the nature of which delights with the brightness of colors, the severity of forms, breathtaking views, and the diversity of landscapes. In different corners, you can see unusual places on the planet, as well as yourself - the real one, without embellishment, and believe that we were created by one Creator. Be sure to visit some of the most beautiful corners, and the impressions will never be erased from memory.
Table Mountain Roraima
The real spirit of freedom can be felt by flying on a rented plane over the tepui, which is located in South America on the border of Brazil, Venezuela and Havana. In the morning hours, it seems that the stone plateau seems to be floating in the clouds. This is the highest mountain in the region (area 30 km²), in the beliefs of the natives, it is considered the "navel of the earth" and the habitat of the Indian goddess.
A giant wrapped in clouds, covered with impenetrable forests and swamps, as if trying to hide his secret.

Unusual animals and amazing vegetation found shelter on the mountain.
martian style
The famous pink lake is located in Senegal, located 30 km from the capital - Dakar. The area of the reservoir is 3 square meters. kilometers, depth - more than 3 meters. But he did not always have such a color, but acquired relatively recently - during a drought in the 70s, when he became very shallow. It turned out that ancient cyanobacteria live in the lake, but no one else was found there. The concentration of salt here is higher than in the Dead Sea, which allows the locals to establish salt production.
Men and women work in manual production on the shore from dawn to night. Interestingly, at different times of the day, the reservoir acquires different colors, they depend on many external factors that affect the activity of cyanobacteria. Unfortunately, every year the lake becomes shallower and runs the risk of completely disappearing from the face of the planet. But while Retba is still here, she will delight people with unearthly landscapes.
Curse of Kelimutu
In the national park of Indonesia, on the top of one volcano, there are three completely different lakes. They have an amazing ability to change color, which, according to ancient beliefs, means the variability of souls. They could not be thoroughly studied, although the main cause is considered to be the action of gases escaping from the bottom. Surprisingly, the bodies of water change shades - from sky blue to rich green or blood red. Climbing to the top, it is impossible to predict the view that will open up to the traveler on a particular day.
Each has its own name and is surrounded by legends. According to legend, the Lake of the Elderly is the place where worthy souls go after death, usually it takes on shades of blue or white. The other two - Young Women, characterized by all shades of green, and the Enchanted Lake, guilty people fall into it, take on colors from deep black to red and sometimes release steam. A breathtaking sight, exhilarating legends - these are amazing places.
stone forest
He bristled with peaks in the Chinese province of Shilin. Crystal lakes, bamboo groves, flower meadows and stone pillar trees of different sizes, created by lava and polished by rains, winds and time, give rise to amazing images of animals and give free rein to fantasy.

Breathtaking views, touching legends, like a veil, envelop the forest with a mystical mystery that a person can no longer unravel. It remains only to enjoy the unique atmosphere and get lost in the labyrinth of stone formations, beliefs, sensations. The most interesting places in the world are also in this forest.
Mendenhall Glacier
Ice is just frozen water. But not in Alaska. Not far from the city of Juneau, under the eternal radiance of the sun, cave systems formed in the glaciers, leaving for kilometers deep into the dark kingdom. The rays, getting inside, creating narrow channels, illuminate the ice blocks, thereby continuing to move and cutting through the deep darkness. The process never stops, each time new caves and passages appear in them. The structure of the transitions is unstable due to thawing, so the most daring, ready to take risks in the name of bewitching beauty, will be able to see the delightful union of ice and fire.
tulip fields
Every year, in the spring, as if by magic, the multi-kilometer plains of Holland begin to bloom. Not hundreds or even thousands, but millions of colors create incredible patterns and bizarre paintings on the canvas of nature. No wonder this country is considered the world's flower supplier. Ideal conditions for growth and modern high-tech methods of collection and sowing are created here.
In April, the most famous flower park on the planet, Keukenhof, opens its doors for only eight weeks. Large and small neat flower beds, meadows, lakes, 7 million tulips, a sea of other amazing flowers - eye candy and culture shock are guaranteed. And what aromas the park is filled with is even hard to imagine.
Sandy ocean, or sea desert
One of the most controversial places on the planet is located in the northern part of Brazil. The unique Lencois Maranhensis National Park is a natural wonder located near the bay of São José. In normal times, it is a desert stretching for 1.5 thousand km², with dazzling snow-white dunes reaching 50 km in length, but during the rainy season the area is transformed beyond recognition. Between the dunes, lagoons with azure blue water appear. But this is not the only thing that surprises. The most striking thing is that crabs, turtles, fish and other inhabitants appear in temporary freshwater reservoirs!
crow cave
The underground world has been little studied due to its inaccessibility. But people learned some information about real life in the bowels of the earth after expeditions to the Crow Cave - the deepest in the world. She goes into the depths of 2196 meters. There is a miracle of speleology in Abkhazia, in the Arabica mountain range. The formation was discovered as early as 1960 and continues to be studied. In a grand dungeon, kilometers of passages are intertwined, behind which halls with stalactites, stalagmites and underground lakes open. Life has adapted even to conditions of pitch darkness. Researchers are discovering new organisms that have proven to be inventive in the depths of the earth. Their features include:
- the ability to emit and perceive ultrasonic vibrations (especially pronounced in bats);
- blindness, but at the same time increased sensitivity of the organs - touch and smell;
- insects have developed "cave gigantism", that is, they act together as a single organism;
- mixture of land and water animals.
horse tail
In Yosemite National Park, California, there is an incredible natural wonder - a waterfall called Horsetail. For most of the year it is just a falling stream, beautiful, spectacular, about 480 meters high, consisting of two falling arms. But for a few days in February, it changes color to golden red, and it feels like not water, but hot lava flows flow down the mountain. The effect is due to a certain angle of the sun's rays, refracting, they create such a feeling. It looks extremely fabulous, and to call the phenomenon an optical illusion simply does not turn the tongue, nature has so skillfully transformed this area.
The story of miracles is just the tip of the iceberg. There are no limits to knowledge. Open your soul to something new, then interesting places in the world will beckon to you. Discoveries will not keep you waiting, because we live on the most incredible planet.
