Spotted Lake has long been revered by the local Okanagan (Silox) people, and it’s easy to understand why they consider it sacred. In the summer, the water of the lake evaporates and leaves behind small mineral pools, each colored different in color from the other. The unique lake can be seen on Highway 3 northwest of the small town of Osois, although visitors are told not to trespass on tribal lands.
Since it’s not the easiest place to reach, Spotted Lake is a great example of how custom travel planning can help you go beyond the usual stops, adding lesser-known, culturally important sites to your itinerary without guessing.
One of the strangest places in the world is Cat Island in Japan. It is a short ferry ride from the east coast of Japan. There are about a hundred people on the island known as Tashirojima, but there are even more cats.
Cats were mainly welcomed because the island produced silk, and the rats, which were a threat to silkworms, were kept away by the cats. The fishermen also thought that cats bring good luck. There is even a cat temple and cat-shaped cabins for tourists. Dogs are not allowed to move.
Recently, Cat Island has become a popular place for tourists who love cats. People work to keep cats healthy, with volunteers and groups providing food and medical care.
The fly geyser looks like something from another planet. It is on private land near the Black Rock Desert in Nevada. It was accidentally created in 1964 when an energy company drilled in geothermal water. Now, the hot water shoots up to five feet high and minerals are formed, causing the cone to grow by a few inches each year.
Bright red and green colors come from special algae that loves heat. You can’t just walk up to the fly geyser; You’ll need to join a guided tour with the Friends of Black Rock-High Rock to see it.
