Yes, the title may have been somewhat "sinister": 11 places to visit before you die, But it's true! We cannot overlook these magnificent sites that at least and as little deserve a visit in life. Have you visited them? Did you like them? Did they disappoint you? Do you plan to visit them?
Venice, in Italy
I recently saw a news story stating that Venice little by little it lost its charm. Reasons, some of these: cars swarming through its streets despite being totally prohibited, scenes of public sex between tourists who visit it, garbage through its streets, etc. And yes, this may well counteract the charm of romantic Venice, but who doesn't have this city on their list of chosen places to visit?
Sentinels of the Arctic in Finland
If you want to see these sentinels, who are nothing more than gigantic trees covered in ice and snow, you must go in winter to Finland. There the temperatures oscillate between -40 and -15 degrees, which makes pictures like these possible. Of course, as a recommendation, take a good coat, or two ...
Great Wall of China in Beijing
It is the most recognizable symbol of China, and it was even joked that it could be seen from space. Countless excursions are made from Beijing City to walk through some of the best-preserved stretches. You will be amazed at its length, his work and the landscape that can be seen from it.
Antelope Canyon, Arizona
This cannon was formed millions of years ago, thanks to the water that passed through there forging a deep, very narrow crevice. The walls seem to be of different colors, due to the different angles of light entry. Its pink, purple and orange tones that we can contemplate are precious. Not suitable for people with claustrophobia!
The Alhambra, in Granada
In Spain we are lucky to have this beautiful Arab palace. This place is very visited by touristsIn it, both series and movie scenes have been shot and its gardens make it even more splendid if possible. The best time to see it is when night falls in spring or autumn (when the heat is not pressing).
Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco
Few modern structures have inspired so many film scripts like this large reddish-orange steel construction that crosses the san francisco bay. Place of both cinema and literature. During the day, at night and, as almost always, in fog, this feat of engineering that links this great city with Mari County in California, is also the most photographed. How many different movies come to mind watching this spectacular and wonderful bridge?
Sea of stars in Vaadhoo Island, The Maldives
If you want to see a unique beach, this is undoubtedly the well-known "Sea of Stars". The glitter in the water comes from marine microbes called phytoplankton. The galaxy that is drawn in the sand is impressive, but yes, you will have to wait for the night to be able to contemplate it. Imagine it: stars both in the sky and in the sea itself. A place without a doubt, to visit at the hand of that loved one.
Christ the Redeemer statue, in Rio de Janeiro
I do not even want to imagine how it must impress to be at the feet of this majestic statue. Not because of its religious symbolism, which too, but because of its dimensions. Another scene also very seen in the occasional American movie.
Tunnel of Love in Klevan, Ukraine
This tunnel was formed over many years thanks to trains that made the same journey three times in one day and shaped the surrounding trees. Now it is abandoned and is a romantic place for an afternoon outing with your partner. I imagine how many photos have been taken with that enveloping vegetation in the background.
Milan Cathedral
Milan Cathedral is the largest gothic cathedral in the world, at the highest point of which stands the emblematic sculpture of The Madonnina, to contemplate the panorama. In its surroundings there are many of the best monuments in the historic center.
Milan is all a historical city to visit yes or yes, but the Cathedral is one of its most important sites.
Caño Cristales, in Colombia
This river may be one of the most colorful in the world. The reason for so much color is because of its great variety of flora and fauna. Yellow, green, blue, black and red are some of the most seen colors in its waters. The rocks are around 1,2 billion years old and everyone who visits it falls in love with the place.
In my personal list of "future trips" I have had to add a few from this list, such as the Caño Cristales river in Colombia or the "Sea of Stars" in the Maldives. When else will I be able to see a river with so much variety in its colors or a sea with stars in its waters?
They are truly amazing!
