Travellers to South America can visit one of the most spectacular waterfalls on earth, Iguazu Falls. Located on the border of Argentina and Brazil, in The Iguazu national park, it's a UNESCO world heritage site. Typically people who want to visit here arrive in Buenos Aires and then take a flight to Iguazu. The main area of the waterfall is called the devil's throat Canyon, and it's 300 feet wide and 260 feet deep. There is also a walkway around the waterfall.

Arabian Desert

Our next destination is the Arabian Desert, where we can find Petra, Jordan. This historical site was once home to the ancient Nabataeans and is currently inhabited by the Bedouin people. Located 150 miles away from both Jerusalem and Amman, it offers accessibility from either direction. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Petra was once expanded by the Romans in 106 A.D. It takes a full day to fully explore this archaeological wonder, offering the opportunity for exploration both during the day and at night.

Cappadocia

Cappadocia, located in Turkey, is a renowned city known for its unique rock formations that were carved into caves. Today, it stands as a significant historical heritage site.

We are now travelling to Southeast Asia, specifically Cambodia. Here we find Angkor Wat, situated in Siem Reap, nestled deep within the rainforest. This ancient temple complex was once part of the Khmer empire, ruled by King Suryavaman. At its peak, Angkor Wat covered over 400 acres, making it one of the largest religious sites on Earth.
