Our Top 10 natural wonders - CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION
Fish River Canyon, Namibia - Desert landscape of Windhoek at sunrise with rocks and quiver tree - Trek through the towering Fish River Canyon – the second largest canyon in the world. The Fish River flows south through the Namaqualand plateau, cutting through the spectacular gorge which reaches up to 700 metres deep. You can visit this unknown natural wonder during our Namibian Odyssey tour.
Spectacular waterfalls at Santa Cruz - A dazzling white expanse stretching across the landscape, broken only by a bright blue sky, this is a natural wonder you have to see. Salar de Uyuni has the world's largest salt flat and, during our Peru & Bolivia Explorer tour, you can travel across this vast white desert by 4x4 and see how the salt is processed. You'll also stay at Luna Salada Hotel, made from salt.
Blue Grotto, Italy - Glide away from the tiny chic island of Capri and sink lower into the rowing boat as it squeezes through a narrow cave into the Blue Grotto. Here you'll find a spectacular sight – illuminated water glowing with an intense turquoise hue and creating an unforgettable blue sensation.
Iguazu Falls, Brazil-Argentina border - These waterfalls are simply incredible. There are 275 falls along a 1.67 mile stretch of the Iguazu River, with some falls tumbling from 82 metres high. The falls are shaped like a horseshoe and are almost three times wider than Niagara Falls. Spot the magical rainbows created as the spray rises into the air. You can visit the Iguazu Falls during our Buenos Aires & Iguazu & Rio tour.
Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania - The Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania is the largest volcanic caldera in the world – a magnificent crater formed when a volcano erupted and collapsed on itself. A World Heritage Site, the 12-mile wide crater is home to over 30,000 animals, including rare black rhinos. During our Ngorongoro Safari, you'll experience a game drive in search of lions, elephants, leopards and buffalos.
Crystal Caves, Bermuda - Discover a beautifully-clear underground lake and gaze into the water, sinking to a depth of over 16 metres. Standing in the cave, gaze around at the glimmering soda straws and sparkling white stalactites, and look into the crystal clear lake to view the formations at the bottom.
Guilin Mountains, China - Sail down the River Li and gaze up at the misty limestone karsts dominating the landscape. This natural beauty is incredible and best seen on a cruise, floating peacefully down the river. Look out for the seven peaks that make up the Seven Star Park
Perito Moreno Glacier, Argentina - Stand in awe, gazing up at the dazzling white peaks of Argentina's Perito Moreno Glacier. Set in Los Glaciares National Park, the glacier is three miles wide, 19 miles long and around 60 metres tall – and is actually growing over time. The ice field has the world's third largest reserve of fresh water and the deepest parts stretch a whopping 700 metres thick. During our Essential Argentina tour, you can visit the glacier – if you hear a cracking sound, you might catch the unbelievable sight of ice crashing into the freezing waters below.
Pantanal region, Brazil - Search for huge anacondas and incredible wildlife in Brazil's Pantanal region, the world's largest wetland and a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. Spot the hyacinth macaw, giant river otters, cute capybaras and giant anteaters during our Rio, Iguacu & Amazon River Cruise
Sossusvlei sand dunes, Namibia - The sand dunes in Sossusvlei are the highest sand dunes in the world and a spectacular sight in Namibia. Head to the Sossusvlei Desert Reserve at sunrise when the colours and shadows constantly change and capture that perfect photo. One of the best way to see the sand dunes is from above during our Namibia by Air tour.
