My husband and I are avid travelers! We've traveled half the world in search of adventure! Now we are creating videos from our travels and presenting to you a video about the Most incredible places on earth! (according to our version).

Angel Falls is the tallest free-falling waterfall in the world. It is located in the mountainous area of ​​Guyana in Venezuela on the Carrao River, which is one of the tributaries of the Orinoco. The name of the waterfall is translated from Spanish as “Angel”.

Since ancient times, local Indian tribes called the waterfall Churun-Meru (“Waterfall of the deep place"), and the plateau from which it falls is Auyan Tepui, which translates as "devil's mountain", due to the constant thick fog with which it is shrouded.

The main attraction of Venezuela

In 1910, the waterfall was discovered by the Spanish explorer Ernesto Sanchos La Cruz, but gained worldwide fame thanks to the American pilot and gold miner James Crawford Angel.

In 1949, an expedition from the US National Geographic Society was sent to the waterfall, which determined the main parameters of Angel. And in 1993, UNESCO added the waterfall to the list of World Heritage of Humanity. Now Angel is in the territory national park Canaima is considered the main attraction of Venezuela.

The waterfall is surrounded tropical forests and there are no special roads to it. Therefore, tourists are taken to Angel by air on a light aircraft or by water in a canoe with a motor. The most desperate lovers thrills can jump off the edge of a plateau on a hang glider. The starting point for tours to the waterfall is the small village of Kanaimi. With the influx of tourists here, the town has been transformed, several hotel complexes, restaurants and souvenir shops.

Son Doong is a cave in Central Vietnam that currently holds the title of the largest cave in the world. It is located in the heart of Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in Quang Binh Province, not far from the Vietnam-Laos border. Its dimensions reach record levels - the height is 200 meters, the width is 150 meters, and the length is more than 5 kilometers. The total volume of the unique formation is 38.5 million m³.

The entrance to the cave, located deep in the jungle, was first found by a local resident named Ho Hanh in 1991, but the roaring water flow coming from there and the steep descent prevented him from exploring it from the inside. Only in 2009, a group of British scientists led by Howard Limbert managed to discover and successfully study Son Doong in Vietnam, after which they announced the official opening of the cave and confirmed that its dimensions allow it to be awarded the status of the largest on the planet.

“Hang Sơn Đoòng” translates to “cave” in Vietnamese mountain river"It actually has a fast-flowing underground river that floods parts of Son Doong during the rainy season. In addition, it has its own jungle, climate and even real clouds that form due to the large temperature difference. Two huge windows of a giant underground cavity allow light to penetrate many parts of it, resulting in a lush jungle with 3-meter trees growing inside.

Shondong is famous not only for its impressive size, but also for the best examples of cave formations on the entire planet. Here you can find interesting ancient fossils, stalactites and some of the tallest stalagmites in the world, up to 70 meters high. A particularly impressive formation is the Dog's Hand and a place called the Cactus Garden. Also in the cave there are examples of giant cave pearls that fill the limestone layers.

The flora and fauna of Shondong is a treasure trove for any scientist. Many rare plant species grow in the cave area, and recently a number of new animal species have even been discovered. Monkeys, hornbills and flying foxes all live in this unusual underground jungle.

The unique cave was formed as a result of a long process of washing away limestone water flow approximately 2-5 million years ago.

At the beginning of August 2013, the first tourist group went on an excursion to Shondong. To get inside the attraction, you need to use a rope to descend underground to a depth of 80 meters. Tourists crash there tent camp spending time in labyrinths underground cave or sitting comfortably by the fire. The cost of such entertainment is $3,000. From September to March, access to the cave is closed due to the rainy season, during which many areas are flooded. The 2015 tour schedule will be posted on the tour website later this year.

The world's largest cave, called Sơn Đoòng, has attracted a lot of attention from many film companies such as BBC, National Geographic, as well as famous Japanese and Brazilian teams. In 2011, she appeared on the pages of the popular National Geographic magazine.

Mount Roraima is the most famous and also the highest Venezuelan tepui (table mountain), reaching a height of 2810 meters. It is located at the junction of Brazil (Roraima state), Venezuela (Canaima National Park) and Guyana (the highest point of the country). The surface area of ​​the plateau of the “big blue-green mountain,” as it is also called, is 30 km².

Local Indians, in turn, call it the “navel of the earth” and believe that the goddess Queen, the ancestor of all people, lives at the very top of the mountain. Despite the fact that all tepuis are houses of the gods, it is Roraima that is considered a holy place. It is almost always surrounded by whitish clouds, giving it a mysterious quality that cannot but attract adventurers and admirers of beauty.

For a long time beautiful mountain South America remained inaccessible and unknown. Only the bravest Indians overcame the difficult path to the lands enchanted, according to their beliefs, through almost impassable swamps and forests.

The first European explorer to explore this area in 1835 was the German scientist Robert Schomburgk. He was amazed by the majestic mountains with a unique ecosystem, but attempts to climb one of them were unsuccessful.

Half a century later, in 1884, this was accomplished by two British scientists Everard Im Thurn and Harry Perkins, who conquered the top of Mount Roraima and revealed to the world all the secrets of this mysterious area. Exactly along this route modern travelers rise to the plateau of the famous Venezuelan tepuya.

A report written by the discoverers about the wondrous wanderings in uncharted lands inspired the famous writer Arthur Conan Doyle to create the fantasy novel “The Lost World” about the discovery of a plateau inhabited by prehistoric species of plants and animals.

The constant cloudiness around the mountain is associated with the fact that the Amazon, Orinoco and Essequibo rivers originate at the foot of Roraima.

The surrounding landscapes are indeed very similar to a fantasy world with black rocks hung with threads of waterfalls, colorful ponds, strange vegetation and rare animals.

Almost the entire surface of the mountain plateau is black from the “desert tan” and microscopic algae inhabiting the upper layer of the stone. Only in those places where the sandstone is not exposed to the sun and rain or is regularly washed with water, its true color - bright pink - appears.

The different rates of destruction of sandstone layers contributed to the formation of a large number of bizarre rocks on the plateau. Here and there the stone is cut through by huge cracks into which several rivers flow, which later burst out of the rocks with noisy waterfalls. Water covers about a fifth of the plateau: peat bogs, bright pink puddles, crystal clear lakes, fast-flowing rivers, the beds of which are strewn with rock crystals for several hundred meters.

The most colorful corners of the plateau are the peat bogs - beautiful flowers grow there, strange insectivorous plants, and colorful carpets of mosses and mosses. The local trees, which resemble bonsai in appearance, are represented by a very small number of species.

The fauna of the Roraima plateau also cannot boast of rich diversity, but it surprises with its unique representatives, most of which are endemic. Many inhabitants of this area are colored black, even dragonflies and butterflies. Also found on the plateau are noses, capybaras (capybaras), mice, lizards, several species of birds, spiders, predatory leeches and scorpions.

The most amazing representatives The fauna of the plateau are miniature, about a centimeter in size, black toads that tend to whistle before the rain. Each large tepui has its own special type of these frogs.

Mount Roraima has another unusual feature: it attracts numerous lightning strikes, which almost every day strike the surface of its top and it is already very difficult to find a tree here that has not been damaged by thunderstorm activity. The unearthly landscapes of Venezuelan tepuis inspired not only the writing of science fiction novels, but also the creation of feature films, documentaries and even animated films.

In 1993, the valley at the foot of Mount Roraima served as the location for the filming of the famous science fiction film Jurassic Park, directed by Steven Spielberg.

In 2008, Griffin Productions released an educational documentary"Authentic Lost World", dedicated to Mount Roraima. It describes the fascinating adventures of a modern team of explorers who followed in the footsteps of the first conquerors of the summit, Ima Thurn and Harry Perkins.

The creators of the cartoons also paid attention to the famous Venezuelan mountain. In 2009, the Disney/Pixar film studio released the cartoon “Up,” in which the action takes place on Roraima. The film also includes a short film, "Adventures Out There," which follows the Pixar team's journey to Roraima in search of creative ideas and inspiration for the animated film "Up."

Today, several dozen people climb Mount Roraima every day. Climbing is usually done from the Venezuelan side, which owns three-quarters of the mountain, as this side has the gentlest slope. The Venezuelan town from which the path to Roraima begins is called Santa Elena de Uairen and lies near the Brazilian border.

To get there, you will first have to buy air tickets to Caracas (the capital of Venezuela) from Moscow with about an hour and a half transfers in Paris, Madrid or Rome. And from Caracas there are regular buses in the direction of Santa Elena de Uairen. Alternatively, this town can be reached by bus from Ciudad Bolivar.

Niagara Falls is lucky to be located on the border of the largest American states - the USA and Canada, which, naturally, has contributed to the transformation of Niagara into the most famous waterfall in the world, where crowds of tourists flock every year. Although in terms of its parameters, for example, in height, it is inferior to many other waterfalls, you cannot deny it popularity and publicity. It is also not the widest waterfall in the world, but Niagara Falls- the most powerful North America by the volume of water passing through it (about 5700 or more m3/s).

Niagara Falls, where the border of the two Great Lakes (Erie and Ontario) lies, consists of actually three separate waterfalls - American, Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls, which is often called Canadian Falls due to the fact that it is located in this country. The height of Niagara Falls in the American part is 51 meters, and the free fall height is only 20 meters due to the large number of rocks.

But it is quite wide - 330 meters. However, this cannot be compared with the most impressive Horseshoe Falls, whose width reaches 790 meters due to its beautiful bend. The height of Niagara Falls in the Canadian part is 49 meters. Canadian and American Falls are separated by Goat Island. observation decks, alleys, souvenir shops and a monument to Nikola Tesla.

The third and smallest waterfall is Veil Falls. It is quite narrow and separated from the American Island by a small island called Silver Island. The beautiful Rainbow Bridge, built in 1941 and connecting Canada and the USA, spans the gorge through which the waters of Niagara flow.

An interesting event occurred in 1911, when, due to unprecedented frosts, Niagara Falls completely froze and turned into huge block ice, onto which numerous tourists who came to see this amazing phenomenon tried to climb.

The name Niagara comes from the old Iroquoian word "Onguiaahra", which is commonly believed to mean "Thunder of Water". The Western world learned about the existence of the waterfall thanks to the explorer Father Louis Hennepin, who described it in 1677 during one of his travels. And after a couple of centuries, due to the emerging fashion for tourism, Niagara Falls began to be actively visited, which led to the development of this area.

In particular, thanks to the efforts of the great Nikola Tesla, a power plant was built. Today, Niagara continues to attract crowds of tourists. The majority of visitors on the American side are Indians. IN recent years there was a massive influx of immigrants from India to the city of Niagara Falls, which today is filled with Indian food restaurants, souvenir shops, etc.

The world's largest dry salt lake. It glitters and shimmers so much in the sun that it hurts your eyes, so you can't do without sunglasses.

During the rainy season, from November to March, salt lake Uyuni turns into a huge mirror: the salt honeycomb is covered with a thin layer of transparent water, in which the sky is reflected, and it becomes completely unclear where the horizon actually is.

Later, the salt crust dries out, and the water from below bursts out - thanks to this “salt eruption”, small cone-shaped volcanoes are formed.

Sudden temperature changes are common in the Salar de Uyuni. In the morning it can be below zero, and during the day the desert heats up to +70 C.

Cutting through the desert in a jeep, it’s worth getting to Fisherman’s Island (Isla de Pescadores), where giant cacti grow from 8 meters high and up to 1200 years old.

Another attraction of the Uyuni salt marsh is the Forest of Stones. This is an unusual landscape with stone statues and sculptures created not by man, but by wind and water. Postcards with the caption “Uyuni Salt Flat – Bolivia” will delight all your friends and relatives who at heart consider themselves archaeologists, speleologists and general artists.

On a trip to the Salar de Uyuni, you can spend the night in “salt” hotels, where even the beds and tables are made of sodium chloride.

After a 3-4-day journey through the salt marsh and the Altiplano plateau (in less time it is impossible to have time to look at all this beauty), you can look into the nearby town of Uyuni, famous for its steam locomotive cemetery. Slowly (due to the dryness of the local climate) rusting carriages lie near railway from Antofagasta to Bolivia since they were "retired" in the 50s. XX century: mineral extraction in these parts fell sharply, and steam locomotives were out of work.

A unique National Park called Lençois Maranhenses(Lencois Maranhenses) is located in the northeast of Brazil, in the state of Maranhão, known primarily for its Alcantara spaceport.

What is unique about this reserve? It would seem like an ordinary desert. Let's start with this impression. In fact, what you see in front of you is not a desert. The precipitation here is hundreds of times greater than in most deserts.

All precipitation forms fresh lakes between dunes of snow-white sand. When the rainy season comes, the “desert” comes to life and birds fly here. Naturally, living organisms (fish, shellfish, amphibians, etc.) appear in lakes. But the main attraction of Lencois Maranhenses is, of course, the magical combination of snow-white sand and turquoise-blue clear water.

Geyser Fly (Fly Geyser), which means Soaring Geyser, is an amazing geothermal geyser located approximately 30 kilometers from the city of Gerlach, Nevada, USA. The geyser is located at an altitude of 1230 meters above sea level, the amount of precipitation in the region is only 300 mm per year. The height of the geyser is about 1.5 m.

The Valley of Geysers is a canyon (gorge) up to 4 km wide, 400 m deep and 8 km long, through which the Geysernaya River flows. There are dozens of similar canyons in Kamchatka, but here, over 6 km from the mouth of the river, more than 40 geysers and many thermal springs are concentrated, which are conventionally divided into 9 sections.

Excursion ecological trail V at the moment passes through the central part of the Valley of Geysers, these are the so-called 5, 6, 7 thermal areas. Here you can observe all known modern forms of hydrothermal activity, including constantly operating and pulsating boiling springs, hot lakes, geysers, mud pots, mud volcanoes, steam jets, heated areas, compactly adjacent in a small space.

The Valley of Geysers cannot be perceived, assessed, or explored without connection with the complex and unique ecological system that has developed around the hydrotherms. The communities of local thermal bacteria, algae, lichens, mosses, and higher plants are unique.

The combination of “normal” and intrazonal areas of vegetation with the significant participation of thermal cenoses also affects the local fauna. In this regard, not only the photogenic nature of the Valley, but also the rare bio-ecological features of natural communities have led to increased interest in the Valley of Geysers among biologists of various specialties.

Hitachi National Seaside Park(Hitachi Seaside Park), located in Hitachinaka City (Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan).

The rich imagination of Mother Nature

What place on our planet can be called the most beautiful? Of course, there is no definite answer and cannot be.

The very concept of beauty is very subjective, and it is not clear what criterion to focus on when compiling the “Top 10 most beautiful places on the planet” rating?

The most beautiful places on the planet are places where the heart beats faster in amazement. Looking at the grottoes carved by water in the thickness of the rocks, dotted with patterns reminiscent of marble, you want to scream with delight.

A true natural masterpiece, the galleries and shafts of which were formed after the limestone rock was washed away by water, is not inferior in beauty to the works of the greatest architects.

Guests entering the grottoes, shimmering with all shades, understand how rich is the imagination of nature, which created a majestic temple, the beauty of which man had no hand in creating. The smooth cone-shaped teeth of the cave combined with the crystal clear water will make everyone believe that heaven really exists on Earth.

Crystal Cave in Iceland

We will never stop admiring the amazing creations of nature. The best architect in the world, who creates masterpieces that are beyond the power of man, once again shows his skills. And one of these works is the caves in Iceland, which were formed due to the movement of air and water through small crevices in the Vatnajökull glacier.

The crystal dungeon, where sunlight penetrates, looks simply fantastic from the inside. For millions of years, melt water flowed down, solidifying and taking on the most unusual forms. The color of the crystal caves can change depending on the lighting, and the rich azure hue turns into bright orange and even purple when ice grottoes the fire is burning.

Unfortunately, the most beautiful places on planet Earth may disappear over time. The vault of the cave, which is safe to be in only in winter, when it freezes completely, will someday collapse due to the constant movement of the glacier, and the natural object, reminiscent of the Snow Queen’s castle with frozen galleries and bizarre labyrinths, will disappear forever.

Canyon that did not become a national park

The magical corner is not protected by the state, despite its amazing beauty. Antelope Canyon, whose tawny walls resemble the skin of a graceful animal, belongs to the Indians, who charge an entrance fee to enter the territory with very unusual landscapes.

Over the course of many centuries, gigantic cracks have formed in the rocks, resembling stripes with bizarre patterns.

Rainbow colored geothermal spring

The amazing, most beautiful places on the planet are not only ancient forests, mysterious caves and fabulous looking canyons. They also include the prismatic geyser of Yellowstone National Park (USA). Having unique colors that constantly change, it appeared at the site of the eruption giant volcano more than 600 thousand years ago. The thermal spring created a rainbow lake that looked like an eye with long eyelashes.

Due to the high temperature, the water in the pool, which is called "prism", is always transparent, and its color depends on the bacteria living on the surface. This is the most spectacular geothermal source in the world, ranked among the top most beautiful places on the planet. The bright orange shores of the geyser and the rainbow tints formed by microorganisms attract tourists traveling around America. Natural miracle about 50 meters deep, amazing a riot of colors, recognized as a symbol of the national park.

Deadly beauty

However, we can take a virtual tour and admire the unearthly landscapes of an uninhabited place, which in ancient manuscripts was called the “hellish abyss”. Standing apart from the rest of the wonders of the world, it is the most impressive geological formation, the colored rocks of which perfectly illustrate the millions of years of evolution of the solid shell of our Earth.

Buddhist shrine on the edge of a precipice

The most beautiful places on planet Earth are not limited to natural masterpieces, and the Chaittiyo Pagoda in Myanmar, located on a huge boulder that hangs over an abyss, is proof of this. The Buddhist shrine sits on top of a tall stone covered in gold leaf. The powerful structure seems to be balancing on the edge of a cliff, and guests who see this miracle for the first time feel as if the boulder is about to fall down.

The monks allow several tourists to rock the local landmark, but for two and a half thousand years no one has yet been able to roll a stone found at the bottom of the sea off a cliff. Although there is an ancient legend that says that only a woman can do this, therefore representatives of the fair sex are not allowed closer than 10 meters to the pagoda.

Breaking the laws of gravity

The Buddhist temple hanging over the abyss was first mentioned in chronicles in the 16th century, and believers believe that hair donated by Buddha and stored in the pagoda protects it from falling. Many skeptics believe that the stone and the rock are a single monolith, but in fact the boulder, which violates all the laws of gravity, is a separate formation. People often come here in the evening to enjoy the amazing views, but foreigners are not allowed to spend the night near the pagoda.
