So
my past post have been how-to’s but the other day I was on Pinterest and I came
across a photo of the Isle of Skye in Scotland. This place is the most
beautiful and magical place I have ever seen. Just picture a perfectly blue
river running through a canyon and all along the canyon there are purple
flowers everywhere! This gave me the idea to blog about places that everybody
should get the chance to visit at least once, some of the most magical places
in the world.
1.
The Montana Magica Lodge, this
lodge located on the Huilo-Huilo biological reserve in the heart of the
Patagonia rainforest (Chile). This magical place looks like it came right out
of Lord of the Rings. The lodge itself is actually a domant volcano covered in
plants with pure water running down over it. The lodge services include a
playroom for children, mini golf, reading room, a restaurant, bar, laundry
services, sauna, and tubs in ancient trunks with naturally heated water!
2.
Greece, Santorini is a beautiful
town with stark white buildings with blue accents right on the coast of Aegean Sea. Santorini is
all that is left after a volcanic eruption (Minoan eruption) that destroyed the
earliest settlements there, some 3600 years ago. WEBSITE: http://www.thira.gr/
3.
Plitvice Waterfalls located in
Plitvicka Jezera, Croatia is breathtakingly, beautiful natural display of water
and nature in harmony. This park is the oldest national park in Southeast
Europe and was added to the UNESCO World Heritage register in 1979. The
national park is most famous for its lakes, which are arranged in cascades. A
total of 16 lakes can be seen from the surface!

4.
The Redwoods National Park in
Northern California are some of the most majestic forests in the world. The
giant Sequoias, which are one of the subfamily of redwoods found in California,
hold the record for tallest and largest trees in the world! Prairie Creek State
Park is a great park to go to see some of these giants.

5.
The Giant’s Causeway located on
the northeast coast of Northern Ireland is an area containing about 40,000
interlocking basalt columns that are the result of an ancient volcanic
eruption. It was declared a World Heritage Site in 1986 and in 1987 the
Department of Environment for Northern Ireland declared it a National Nature
Reserve.

6.
Las Cavernas de Marmol (The
Marble Caverns) in Chile is definitely something to see. The caves are formed
of pure marble and reflect the blue waters of the General Carrera Lake. WEBSITE:
