9 of the World's Most Amazing Bucket-List Experiences
1. Swim at the world's best beach in Brazil
Crowned number one in TripAdvisor's annual Travellers' Choice awards, Brazil's Baia do Sancho is a picturesque and undisturbed stretch of sand, located on the small island of Fernando de Noronha off the coast of central Brazil. Consistently ranked among the world's best beaches, it's a quiet spot surrounded by rainforest and is only accessible via steep steps carved into the rockside that hugs it. |
2. Catch the Northern Lights
Iceland, Canada and Alaska are all among the best places for spotting the colorful shimmering of the aurora borealis; however, Norway's Lofoten Archipelago just might be the most beautiful. Characterized by dramatic scenery, traditional fishermen's houses and short Arctic winter days, it's the perfect setting for a wilder winter adventure spotting the Northern Lights. |
3. Marvel at Chichén Itzá, Mexico
Central to the ancient Mayan civilization, Chichén Itzá is an intricate complex of stepped pyramids, temples, columned arches and stone sculptures. One of the most popular destinations in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, it has also been named one of the new seven wonders of the world. The site is still shrouded in mystery and provides a fascinating insight into the country's ancient past. |
