27 sights that will remind you how incredible Earth is
These amazing spectacles may not change
your life, but they should change your vacation plans
By Anthea Gerrie 13 April, 2013
Temples are fine, but they're truly
amazing when they tower out of a jungle cloaked in mist.
Spotting a lion is great, but even
greater are the millions of wildebeest trekking across the African plains on an
annual migration.
There are some things you can see
around the world that have the potential to give you photo-showing rights for
decades.
We haven't got them all -- in fact we
barely scratched the surface. But we have picked out a few of the scenes that,
if you're lucky enough to witness them, will invariably leave you spellbound.
Borobudur at sunrise, Java, Indonesia
Watching the sun rise over the hundreds of stupas and Buddhas before the public descends in droves to disturb the peace is one of the world’s most rarefied experiences.Guests staying within the village compound are allowed to enter this 9th century monument, hidden beneath volcanic ash for centuries, before opening time.
Black Tomato offers three nights bed and breakfast with private sunrise tour at lavish Amanjiwo, decorated with its own Buddhas and stupas, from US$1,195 per person.
This astronomical phenomenon is best seen in winter from northern Scandinavia -- but there are never any guarantees, which makes the magic moments when they do appear all the more special.
A great place to keep watch is from the sheltered coastal waters of western Norway, whose coves are free of artificial light.
Travel there on Hurtigruten, the country’s national coastal steamer, and enjoy inspirational fjord views by daylight.
. Torres del Paine Chile
In the heart of Patagonia, glaciers rise in the midst of mountainscapes and alpine meadows, close enough to hike right up to and touch. They make Torres del Paine one of the most special national parks in the world -- you’ll never forget your first sight of ice on the beach.Explora offers a four-night package including transfers from Punta Arenas, full board and excursions from US$2,780;
Santa Maria Salute Venice Italy
Because they’ve been the subject of so many Renaissance paintings, the iconic landmarks of Venice stop the heart when you see them for the first time.The Rialto, the Bridge of Sighs, the vast expanse of San Marco look much as they did 400 years ago, but nothing evokes the mystery of La Serenissima quite like Santa Maria Salute looming out of the mist at the entrance to the Grand Canal.
The perfect place to catch this view is from a vaporetto approaching Venice from the lagoon -- the most magical way to arrive from the airport.
