On the northern shore of remote Etigran Island, 82 kilometers from the coast of Alaska, there is a strange tourist spot. The jawbone, ribs and spine of the giant whale get stuck to the ground, creating a haunted path.
People think that the site dates back to the 14th or 15th century, but no one is sure if it was a sacred meeting place for local tribes or just a place for mass whale hunting. What we do know is that it is one of the strangest places in the world.
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.
Koiba National Park is a protected marine reserve located on the Pacific coast and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sometimes called the Galapagos of Central America, the park consists of Coiba Island and dozens of small islands surrounded by coral reefs. It is one of the top places in the country for diving and snorkeling, where whale sharks, manta rays, sea turtles, and dolphins are frequently seen. On land, local bird species such as the howler monkey and the koiba spine add to the appeal.
The island was once a barbed wire colony, which helped keep it isolated and underdeveloped. Now, this is part of the success story of marine conservation. Tours typically depart from Santa Catalina and include guided snorkeling tours or scuba dives, depending on your level of experience. There is an abundance of wildlife above and below the waterline, and the setting itself is spectacular. There is no better place for marine biodiversity in Panama.
