22 Unbelievable Places that are Hard to Believe Really Exist

 

Our world is so full of wonders that new and amazing places are discovered every day, be that by professional photographers or amateurs. Different geographical locations, climatic conditions and even seasons offer the widest variety of natural wonders: pink lakes, stunning lavender or tulip fields, breath-taking canyons and mountains, and other places you can hardly believe actually exist!

Some of the pictures in this collection will be of all natural sights you can find while traveling around the world, while the others have experienced human interference – but even in these cases, the result of such collaboration is spectacular. The Japanese learned how to tame thousands of orchids and form a romantic tunnel out of them; another one was formed all the way in Ukraine by a passing train; and what eventually ends up as hot tea in our mugs, first grows in stunning tree fields in Asia.

No wonder that traveling in one of the best forms of recreation – even looking at these pictures takes your mind to far away places… And yes, all those of those places are real!

I've been up the Roraima a few times from the Venezuelan side. It was 3 days up and 3 days down. I've heard that the Guyana side is almost inaccessible. On the summit there is a plaque marking the triple point where Guyana, Venezuela and Brazil meets.

Did you go as a tourist or otherwise?

I used to go up with a German friend who was into mountaineering and paragliding. I didn't mind the mountaineering but was scared of the paragliding. I have a few photos of Roraima i will post them if I find them.
