1. Semuc Champey, Guatemala

Nowhere on earth showcases the sheer power of Mother Nature quite like Semuc Champey. Located in the Guatemalan jungle, the sight consists of a number of natural rock pools that flow down, one into the next, in a series of waterfalls. Water, lush jungle, secret look out points and eerie caves. What more could you want? Be sure to check out the swing that flies out over the water for an adrenaline rush while you’re there.

2. Temples of Angkor Wat, Cambodia

A 3am wake up call is usually the last thing you want while you’re on holiday, but if it means you get to see the sun come up over the most incredible temples on the planet, it’s really not so bad. The temple complex at Angkor Wat is an astounding feat of architecture from a time when it seemed inconceivable that such incredible structures could have been built.

3. Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

Who would have thought a huge piece of salt would be such a tourist attraction. Well, the salt flats of Uyuni are the biggest on earth and well worth the travel time it takes to get to this remote part of the world. Jeep tours take intrepid travellers far out on to the salt flat, where they can take photos and walk around. The serenity that accompanies this isolated stretch of white salt is unparalleled and the photo opportunities are spectacular.

4. Sigiriya, Sri Lanka

Sigiriya is an ancient rock fortress in the heart of Sri Lanka. It is quite striking to behold as it looks like a colossal boulder that has just been placed in the middle of this beautiful island. However, the first sight is just the beginning. Once up close, travellers will be able to climb the rock to the top. Here, they are treated to spectacular views of the lush plains that spread out to the horizon. Make sure you go to Sigiriya early so you don’t end up hiking in the midday heat.

5. Chefchaouen, Morocco

The city of Chefchaouen is a little piece of calm in the chaos of Morocco. The walls of the buildings that line the streets of Chefchaouen have been completely painted blue, giving the whole city a completely magical feel. The number one activity here is taking a leisurely stroll in the permanent sunshine that bathes the city. Snap some photos, sample some local delicacies and lap up the magnificent beauty of this incredible place.
