Have you ever thought about visiting the 7 best places in the world? This is what this guide will cover. We will go over the most fantastic places for you to visit on your next trip.
THE GREAT BARRIER REEF, AUSTRALIA
Selected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, the Great Barrier Reef is a place that deserves to be on your travel list. The site is facing a severe risk of coral “bleaching” due to rising ocean temperatures.
Experts say that whoever wants to visit this wonder must not wait much longer since it is about to undergo a natural transformation.
The Great Australian Barrier Reef is an immense strip of coral composed of about 2,900 reefs, 600 continental islands, and 300 coral atolls. Located between the beaches of northeastern Australia and Papua New Guinea, which is 2,200 kilometres long, with a width ranging from 30 km to 740 km.
It can be seen from space and is the largest structure in the world made solely by living organisms. The reef structures are made up of billions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps. It supported great biodiversity and was elected one of the world heritage sites of Humanity in 1981 and was also elected by the American TV channel CNN as one of the seven natural wonders of the world.
A Tourist favourite and must activity to do in the Great Barrier Reef is to dive.
BORA BORA, FRENCH POLYNESIA
It is a small island in the South Pacific, northwest of Tahiti, in French Polynesia. Surrounded by islets and a turquoise lagoon protected by a coral reef, it is known as a diving destination. The island is also home to luxury resorts, with some overwater bungalows, supported by stilts. In the centre of the island, Mount Otemanu is a dormant volcano 727 meters high.
Known as a popular destination and is widely visited by couples on their honeymoon.
A complete infrastructure is offered to tourists with all-inclusive resorts, luxurious hotels, bungalows, and restaurants. In the region, everyone is enchanted by the romantic atmosphere and, of course, the dozens of options of white sandy beaches with that incomparable blue sea, such as Matira Beach, one of the most famous.
MACHU PICCHU, PERU
It is an Inca citadel that sits high in the Andes in Peru, above the Urubamba River valley. Built-in the 15th century and later abandoned, it is known for its sophisticated continuous stone walls. The immense blocks were joined without the use of mortar, the intriguing constructions take into account the alignment of the stars and the panoramic views. The ancient utility of these constructions still remains a mystery.
Machu Picchu is simply Peru's number one attraction. Its complex and mysterious encased architecture, set in dramatic mountain scenery, has been attracting tourists from all over the world.
This popularity led the city to be one of the seven wonders of the world. Many tourists disembark non-stop in this ancient stone Inca city, either by the classic Inca Trail or by trains from Cusco.
MAUI, HAWAII, USA
It is an island in the Central Pacific part of the Hawaiian archipelago. The great Haleakala National Park encompasses the island's highest peak, Haleakala, as well as the pools and waterfalls of Ohe'o Gulch, which can be accessed by the beautiful and winding Hana Highway. One of the beaches on the 30-mile stretch of the island is the golden Kapalua, shaped like a crescent moon, protected from strong currents by headlands of volcanic rocks.
This is the place where dreams come true, whether to sit on a beautiful beach watching the waves, play golf on one of the most beautiful courses in the world, explore the underwater world, discover charming small towns or drive down winding roads with incredible postcard-worthy vegetation and waterfalls.
CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA

Trams slowly ascend to the flat top of the mountain, which boasts panoramic views of the city, the bustling port and the boats en route to Robben Island, the famous prison where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated, which is now a museum.
Filled with beautiful trails, parks and trendy beaches (like Clifton and Camps Bay), it has good museums, beautiful churches, castles, and a cosmopolitan atmosphere that is revealed in bars, restaurants, stores, and designed hotels.
Its neighbourhoods help to tell part of its history. Bo-Kaap, with its colourful houses, is the Muslim stronghold, created in the 18th century with the construction of the country's first mosque. In addition to all this spectacular scenery, Cape Town is still surrounded by beautiful grounds for short getaways: Boulders Beach, the famous penguin beach; the award-winning vineyards in the Stellenbosch region; and Cabo da Boa Esperança, which is a beautiful natural park by the sea.
