In the middle of the Atacama Desert in Chile, 46 miles south of Antofagasta, you will find a very peculiar sculpture. ‘The Hand in the Desert’ by Chilean sculptor Mario Irarazabal.
Known for its art about human suffering, this massive sculpture makes you feel lonely, especially in its empty and isolated space. It is a popular place for tourists, but visitors are asked to respect it and not vandalize it, as the problem of graffiti has arisen recently.
On the island of Bohol in the Philippines, there are about 1,700 cone-shaped mountains. They look so perfect that you might think they were made by humans. However, UNESCO says they are created by coral deposition and rainwater erosion.
They get the name ‘chocolate’ when the green leaves turn brown during the dry season. In recent times, efforts have been made to promote sustainable tourism to keep the Chocolate Hills beautiful. These places are one of the strangest places in the world, offering unique and unforgettable experiences for those who visit them.
The island of Socotra is a place that is unlike any other place. Isolated from the African mainland six million years ago, it feels like a scene from a sci-fi movie. The island is home to incredible and unique plants and trees that you won’t find anywhere else. Two of the most unusual are the Ancient Dragon’s Blood Tree and the Bulbs Bottle Tree. It is definitely one of the most unique places in the world!
Even though Yemen is facing conflict, people are still working hard to protect Socotra’s special environment. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008. However, it is still difficult to travel there due to the political problems in the area.
