On vacation to one of the exotic places in the world - choose, TOP 10.
10. Sicily
An island in the Mediterranean. One of the most interesting and pristine beautiful islands. Quaint cliffs, countless bays and coves, majestic mountain landscapes, velvety sandy beaches, immersed in the green of the valley's orange and olive groves. This is all Sicily. And also - the highest of the volcanoes in Europe, which is currently active - the mysterious Etna.
9. Iceland
The world's largest volcanic island. The land of ice and fire. The climate is cold, maritime and humid. Volcanic activity is widespread and intense. Glaciation is global. The Vatnajökull glacier is the largest in Europe, with a length of 8 km². Directly under it are several "sleeping" and "dormant" volcanoes. For example, the Grimsvotn volcano, which "woke up" quite recently in 2011. Then the smoke rose 15 kilometers and the "sky" over the country had to be "closed" for flights.
And at the foot of the second largest Icelandic glacier - Lungjökull - the Haukadalur geyser valley is "hidden", striking the imagination.
8. Mauritania
The edge of the Sahara. There is a geological formation here, stunning in its beauty and "cosmic" origin. Guell-Er-Rishat - "Eye of the Sahara". 50 kilometers in diameter. It remains only to speculate about its nature. A huge meteorite? Dormant volcano? Or, after all, alien guests?
7. Denmark
Speaking about the most exotic places in the world, one cannot fail to mention one more "alien" landscape. Real "Martian Chronicles" of the Danish city of Skagen. Picturesque. Fantastic. Soothing. A bit creepy. And it does not at all fit into the pictures of one of the richest and most developed modern countries that are familiar to European perception. Sand dunes. Deserted shores. Mysterious mystery and a halo of something unearthly.
6. Bolivia
The most famous and largest salt lake on the planet is the Uyuni Salt Flats. Southwest Bolivia looks, thanks to him, like a distant uninhabited planet. Salty desert. Surrounded by gigantic cacti, volcanoes of marvelous texture and falling geysers. It seems that these are hand-made works of fantastic creatures, created specifically for our shock.
5. Turkmenistan
Unexpectedly for this former Soviet republic, the "Door to the Underworld" (or, if you prefer, the "Gates of Hell") is located here. Darvaz is a huge gas crater - one of the most exotic places in Turkmenistan. Diameter - 60 meters. The depth is 20 meters. The gas with which the crater is filled has been burning since geologists set it on fire (in order to eliminate the accumulation of harmful substances in this way). It was in 1971. And this exotic place is hand-made, thanks to unlucky Soviet geologists, more than others. But that makes it no less exotic.
4. USA
Arizona-Utah border. Between the two states - another "Martian corner" - unearthly red canyons - framing. About 700 of natural canyons flooded here when creating the Powell reservoir - the second largest in the United States (30 m³ of water). The water is always calm. The canyons are majestic. The feeling is eerie and absolutely unearthly.
In the same place, the Colorado Plateau, between Arizona and Utah. And its main gritty formation is the "Arizona Wave". Interestingly, these sand "waves" were formed in the Jurassic period from the Navajo sandstone, that is, "only" 190 million years ago.
The landscape has been shaped by the erosion of sandstone by wind and rain. It looks impressive.
3. Mexico
Another unique place on earth is the Crystal Cave. It is full of crystals, among which the largest in the world are 11 meters in size. These giants have formed over millennia as a result of unique micro climatic conditions caves. The "climate" of the cave is rather hot - the air temperature here is + 58 ° С all year round.

Fresh lava of active volcanoes flows directly into the Pacific Ocean. Kauai Island is an exuberant exotic landscape with lush tropical vegetation and a reputation as a "garden island". Wonderful sunset on Waikiki beach. Life here takes on a different, new meaning. And what he saw is never forgotten.
Why is it called "The Island of the Gods"? It is more like any other place in the world ... no, not like another planet, but like Paradise. Relaxing in paradise - why not exotic? Paradise beaches with white sand, slender mountains and dormant volcanoes, with their tops reaching into the sky, sacred caves of mysterious depth.

Extreme vacation - exotic vacation spots
Got a fill of primitive fast food like Greece, Bulgaria or Tunisia? Fortunately, Turkey and Egypt were banned, so they are out of the question. The time of tourist primitivism is passing - the souls of travelers crave fresh air, icebergs and bears. And you will receive them in this section of the site.
We will tell you about extreme tours to the North Pole and trips to Spitsbergen. You will find out how you can entertain yourself in wild hot Africa. And, of course, find out which part of the world is considered the most extreme and inhospitable for uninvited guests. Pack your suitcases, prepare high fur boots and corned beef - we go where there are no beaches, cozy cafes and always smiling waiters.
The most exotic places for a tourist trip
Now travel agencies can take you anywhere - from Afghanistan and Chernobyl to Death Trail in China. Some places repulse with a grim reputation, others with lurking dangers. But there are corners on the planet where survival is, in principle, problematic because of the harsh climatic conditions. These exotic countries and countries cannot be called. Take the same North Pole, it does not belong to anyone at all. In this section you will find:
- Tours to the Arctic and the North Pole.
- Travel to Spitsbergen.
- Cruise to Antarctica.
The places in question are the most difficult to access on the planet. In some places you can go on a specially equipped yacht, in other cases you will need an icebreaker or a helicopter. Go.
Spitsbergen is not Turkey
The tourist business has even touched Svalbard, the Norwegian archipelago located far beyond the Arctic Circle. True, tourist movements in Svalbard are tightly controlled - to leave the zero zone, you will need a special document.
The advantages of a tour to Svalbard include the absence of a visa regime, the disadvantages are the harsh polar climate and the dominance of polar bears, from which you may have to shoot back.
The Svalbard authorities keep an eye on the environment, so no one will save you by helicopter.
In the corresponding article, we will talk about how to get to Svalbard on your own, what to take with you and what to fear. Offers:
- information about the zero zone;
- description of walking tours;
- leisure features;
- list of attractions;
- travel cost calculation.
Arctic and North Pole - time to ride an icebreaker
There are places more remote from civilization than Spitsbergen. As a child, many of us read about polar explorers, but did not think that their routes could really be repeated for money. Domestic operators offer a tour to the Arctic - an unforgettable adventure that unfolds in the vastness of Spitsbergen, the polar archipelagos and Greenland.Some tours have an end goal, others don't. For example, you can go skiing in Komi or stay in an Icelandic hotel, or you can go on an exciting icebreaker cruise. Offers:
- rare representatives of the fauna;
- incredible landscapes;
- icy seas;
- undeveloped space;
- northern attractions.
The North Pole is a mysterious and inaccessible place for mere mortals. Fortunately, mankind has invented icebreakers, and travel agencies have guessed to sell tours to the North Pole. Departure point - Murmansk. Further, ice and hummocks extend, and you should not go out on deck in shorts. By the way, despite the harshness of the route, the cabin will be warm, the food will be tasty, and the program will be rich. In a separate article, we intend to highlight the following points:
- description of the icebreaker "Captain Dranitsyn";
- excursion on the ship "Professor Khromov";
- a trip on the icebreakers Yamal and 50 Years of Victory;
- interesting polar facts;
- calculation of the cost of the trip.
Cruise to Antarctica - Original Southern Trip
Some people like the warm southern seas, while others like ice hummocks and penguins. You can get to Antarctica by sky or sea, but it is much more interesting to travel on a cruise ship, yacht or icebreaker. You can go to the "white continent" from the following countries:- Chile;
- Argentina;
- Russia;
- New Zealand.
IN last years the popularity of sea cruises to Antarctica is growing, and the level of comfort will depend on the class of the ship you choose. We will try to tell you about expedition ships of large and small sizes, to shed light on their specifications and services provided on board. Description is waiting for you cruise liners, icebreakers and even sailing yachts (and there are at least a dozen of them in Antarctica).
Extreme tours - lions and dog sleds
Extreme tours are not always associated with survival in the polar zones. For many years, travel agencies have been offering travelers high-risk safaris and hunting expeditions. However, you can combine a passion for the cold with outdoor activities - for this there are dog sledding safaris. You can buy a dog sled tour in Karelia and Finland, Iceland and Greenland, Kamchatka and Spitsbergen.
Dog sledding tours are often associated with downshifting and have an educational ethnographic bias.
"Dogs" safaris allow not only to feel the hardships of the life of the drivers, but also to feel the romantic spirit of the polar landscapes. Most of the time you will spend in the tundra - on a dog sled or in a chum. If you can't fly to Iceland, you can concentrate on domestic realities. Within Russia, safaris are practiced:
- in Karelia;
- in Kamchatka;
- in the vicinity of Lake Baikal.
Detailed tour descriptions, cost estimates and helpful survival tips await you. Special attention will be paid to Finland.
Tired of vegetating in the snowy tundra? Do you want warmth and new adventures? Then it is worth changing the location and moving to the African savannah - to the place where the trumpet roar of an elephant and the terrible roar of a lion are heard. African safaris are always associated with hunting adventures - this is the trail of real men. The top of the pyramid is a lion hunt. Note that African hunting tours are expensive. This entertainment is associated with many days of danger, life in extreme conditions, rental and purchase of serious "toys".
Hunting African tours are expensive.
In our article, you will learn about the animals of the Big Five and find out in which countries lions are found. We will tell you about the hunting season, compile a list of the necessary equipment and calculate the cost of the tour. There are many new things to learn, such as why a hunter needs a dog. For those who want to feel the hot African spirit, a video of the safari "Lion Hunt" has been prepared. Not to look nervous!
Where to look for the most extreme vacation?
We looked into the polar regions, drove huskies across Karelia and drove a couple of lions with the help of a jeep and a crowd of aborigines. What to do next? What to strive for? And where is the most violent place on Earth? The most extreme and exotic vacation (if you can call it a vacation) is a tour to the South Pole. It would seem that this is the world of polar explorers, inaccessible to a mere mortal. Reality will surprise you: you will be greeted, fed, given a drink and a certificate of conquering the pole will be issued.You cannot get to the southern roof of the world without transfers. You will have a flight to South Africa or Chile, and from there - a trip to the polar station. Little known fact: there are even divers in Antarctica. We have prepared an article with a ton of useful information:
- routes;
- equipment;
- a list of companies providing a similar service;
- calculating the cost of travel;
- interesting facts, myths and legends of the polar zone.
There are even divers in Antarctica.
Adventure tourism is a test of your endurance, determination and wallet strength. Do not even hope to save money or find a "hot offer". The extreme tour market is a territory of exclusive offers. Crowds of tourists do not go to the Arctic on icebreakers, this is the road of the elite. So temper yourself in the hole, save money and learn to shoot. You will discover unknown distances, about which you will not be ashamed to tell your grandchildren in old age.
