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.
Known for its myths and mysteries, the Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, covers nearly 500,000 square miles between Bermuda, Florida, and Puerto Rico.
The U.S. Coast Guard says the area doesn’t exist, but many conspiracy theories focus on strange magnetic readings and stories of ships, planes, and people disappearing without a trace. Recently, researchers have suggested that natural factors such as methane hydrates or rogue waves may explain some of the disappearances, but the mystery is still a popular topic for speculation.
Located in the northwest of China’s Hunan Province, these amazing limestone peaks are covered in green and often shrouded in fog. A cable car takes visitors to Huangxi Village, where there are many trails to enjoy the stunning views of Tianzi (‘Son of Heaven’).
These mountains inspired the floating mountains in the movie ‘Avatar’. In 2022, a new visitor center was opened, which provides interactive exhibitions about the geology and cultural importance of the region.
