Top 6 Most Unique and Wondeful Places in the World

Have you ever thought to visit strange and unique places in the world? For some of people, visiting the places may be a part of challenging and amazing journey. But what if that place is an unusual place visited by people? Do you even more challenged?.

Here, I will show you the top 5 places that probably most unique in the world that are may be your consideration. However, if you really determined to visit it in the end, plan and prepare your trip carefully, and of course safely.

1. The Door To Hell, Turkmenistan

 

This place in Uzbekistan is called by locals “The Door to Hell”. It is situated near the small town of Darvaz. The story of this place lasts already for 35 years. Once the geologists were drilling for gas. Then suddenly during the drilling they have found an underground cavern, it was so big that all the drilling site with all the equipment and camps got deep deep under the ground. None dared to go down there because the cavern was filled with gas. So they ignited it so that no poisonous gas could come out of the hole, and since then, it’s burning, already for 35 years without any pause. Nobody knows how many tons of excellent gas has been burned for all those years but it just seems to be infinite there.

2. The Great Dune of Pyla, France

 

Since Europe has no deserts, you’d think the title of “Europe’s largest sand dune” would go to something that wasn’t particularly impressive. But you’d be wrong. The Great Dune of Pyla is 3km long, 500m wide and 100m high, and for reasons some people will probably never understand, it seems to have formed in a forest. The dune is very steep on the side facing the forest and is famous for being a paragliding site. At the top it also provides spectacular views out to sea and over the forest (since the dune is far higher than any of the trees surrounding it).

3. Mount Roraima, Venezuela, Brazil and Guyan

 

Arthur Conan Doyle populated the tepui Roraima with dinosaurs, strange vegetation and animals in his book, The Lost World, based on the accounts of British explorers Everard IM Thum and Harry Perkins who were the first Europeans to ascend Mount Roraima in 1884. Mount Roraima lies on the Guiana Shield in the southeastern corner of Venezuela's 30000 km2 Canaima National Park forming the highest peak of Guyana's Highland Range. The tabletop mountains of the park are considered some of the oldest geological formations on Earth, dating back to some two billion years ago in the Precambrian.

4. Rotorua, New Zealand

 

Rotorua is a town on the southern shore of Lake Rotorua in the Bay of Plenty region of the North Island of New Zealand. Rotorua is well-known for geothermal activity. There are a number of geysers, notably the Pohutu geyser at Whakarewarewa, and hot mud pools located in the city, which owe their presence to the Rotorua caldera. Thermal activity is at the heart of much of Rotorua’s tourist appeal. Geysers and bubbling mud-pools, hot thermal springs and the Buried Village - so named after it was buried by the 1886 Mt. Tarawera eruption - are within easy reach of the city. Rotorua is nicknamed Sulphur City, because of the aforementioned thermal activity. The sulphur gives off an odor unique to Rotorua that adds to the visitor experience. In fact it’s funny because it is nearly unbearable to breathe without gasping for air as it smells like someone let off a stinkbomb throughout the city.

5. Socotra, Republic of Yemen

 

Socotra (an Island belonging to Yemen) derives its magic name from the Sanskrit “dvipa sukhadhara” (“Island of Bliss”). Dragon’s blood trees that look like flying saucers perched on trunks, trees that look like elephants’ legs with pink flowers on top, unique song birds such as Socotra’s Starling, Sunbird, and Grosbeak.

Socotra has been described as one of the most strange looking place on Earth. It is very remote with a harsh, dried out climate and hence 30% of its plant-life is found nowhere else, including the famous Dragon’s Blood Tree, a very abnormal looking umbrella-shaped tree which produces red sap. There are also a large number of birds, spiders and other flora and fauna. The coral reefs around have a large number of endemic and weird species too. Socotra is a World Heritage Site.

6. The Iguazu waterfalls, Brazil

Iguazu Falls is located where the Iguazu River tumbles over the edge of the Paraná Plateau, 23 kilometres (14 mi) upriver from the Iguazu's confluence with the Paraná River.Iguazu Falls was short-listed as a candidate to be one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature by the New Seven Wonders of the World Foundation.
