Victoria Falls Zambia/Zimbabwe
Most travelers rarely consider an African nation an interesting international vacation spot unless on a hunting expedition for exotic game. Nothing could be further from the truth. One trip to see the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls in Zambia/Zimbabwe will be all it takes to make a believer out of you.
Victoria Falls happens to be one of the world’s Seven Natural Wonders, and here are a few statistics that make it so. Rising a stunning three hundred and fifty-five feet from the ground, Victoria Falls spans a width of a mile wide.
In addition to being one of the world’s largest waterfalls, Victoria Falls water moves faster than any other waterfall. The falling water of Victoria Falls rushes over the edge of the at a mind-numbing speed of over one million eight hundred and four thousand cubic feet per minute.
Travel to Victoria Falls to be amazed but stay to enjoy other delights Victoria Falls has to offer. The constant shroud of mist that blankets the falls is noticeable from over thirty miles away, and you’ll likely get the opportunity to spot the dazzling colors of an almost constant arching rainbow.
Petra/Jordan
Probably the best international vacation spot for amateur archaeologists, Petra holds its place on the list with various mystic structures carved from solid stone.
Reportedly, this ancient city appeared during the fifth BCE and has temples, prayer-alters and tombs, and various structures that hold within them mystical presences from ages past, waiting for you to experience them firsthand.
What makes Petra so mystical and mysterious is also the location. The structures of Petra sit between two bodies of water, the Red Sea and the Dead Sea, two of the saltiest bodies of water on Earth.
As awe-inspiring as it is mysterious, Petra needs to have its place on your international travel list.
Amalfi Coast/Italy
You may have decided to travel to Italy simply because you’ve got a hankering for authentic Italian cuisines such as Tomato, Basil, and Cucumber Panzanella. Still, there’s much more to enjoy when you make your destination, the Amalfi Coast.
The Amalfi Coastline is precisely that, a coastline with approximately thirteen rustic villages side by side. A day’s hiking trip will bring you into and out of towns where you experience a sense of warm solidarity of purpose from the villagers.
If hiking around the bluffs of Amalfi Coast isn’t to your liking, try lounging around on the beach.
The beaches have miles of white sand warmed by the sun. So, whether you choose to stretch out with a favorite book and enjoy the draughts of sea breeze or jump in a boat and catch your dinner for the night, the Amalfi Coast provides the traveler a most interesting take on international vacation spots.
Cappadocia/Turkey
If you’re looking for the most interesting international vacation spot to travel to, you may want to consider Cappadocia, Turkey. You’ll want to take a balloon trip once you get there.
Yes, you can find plenty of local places to go ballooning in the States, but nothing compares to a balloon ride over the “fairy chimneys” in Cappadocia. Known for possessing some of the most bizarre natural stone formations, Cappadocia has these geological formations of ash-formed cones scattered all around the outskirts of the city.
Another exciting and little-known fact is that the ancestors of the people living in Cappadocia built structures to store food and even houses below the city’s surface that housed an entire population back in the fourth century.
If you’re an art connoisseur, you can even spot Byzantine art hanging on the walls of the local monastery. For the money, a trip to Cappadocia will not only delight you but will be one of the most unique and exciting international vacations you will do in a decade.
Marble Caves, Argentina/Chile
Although last on the list of the most interesting international vacations, you may want to start with the Marble Caves on the borders of Argentina and Chile if you’re into spelunking.
The Marble Caves demonstrate some of the most unreal and breathtaking subterranean views you would have thought never to exist. The caves are called marble for a reason. Formed near the General Carrera Lake, the tunnels and caverns of Marble Caves display some of the world’s most beautiful natural marble deposits.
What’s even more fascinating is how the tide and change of seasons affect the marble’s appearance beneath crystal clear water. If you want something genuinely awe-inspiring, there is nothing to beat seeing these caves up close and personal.
The list of exciting and intriguing places to visit on your international vacations is extensive. If you put all these places on your bucket list, one thing is for sure. By the time it’s all over, you’ll probably want to purchase some new luggage for your next adventure.
