Witnessing nature’s sheer beauty and scale is an unforgettable experience that is sure to make you appreciate our amazing world. The 7 Natural Wonders of the World are all worthy entries to the bucket-list and are the perfect destinations for a retreat from city life.
Grand Canyon, Arizona
Some are located close to major cities, such as the Grand Canyon in Arizona or the Harbour of Rio de Janeiro. The more adventurous may consider travelling to Zimbabwe for the fierce Victoria Falls, or Iceland to be entranced by Aurora Borealis.
Aurora Borealis
Aurora Borealis (more commonly known as the Northern Lights), is a natural phenomenon that occurs in the sky over the Arctic circle. It is the result of energised particles emitted from the sun interacting with the Earth’s magnetic poles, creating a tapestry of majestic waves of light across the heavens.
Mount Everest
But for the bravest souls who scoff at peril and crave excitement, Mount Everest awaits, giving those who venture that far the chance to observe the world from the highest point possible. With a base camp at 5,364 metres above sea level, you can still get a taste of the world’s highest mountain without the risk of becoming a popsicle.
