Exotic Travel Destinations
Madeira Island
This land at the "Edge of the World" is just a small island of volcanic origin. Huge rocks of black-brown basalt abruptly break off and go into the waters. Atlantic Ocean. The waters of the ocean are very deep, and sperm whales often “approach” the shores of the island.
Standing on the observation deck of Cabo Girao, the second highest cliff in the world, you can see how Madeira Island looks like Eden, or, as they say, the Earth at the end of the world. The area of the island is small, and on its coastline there are no beaches at all. But this lack is more than compensated by the fertile volcanic soil, spreading a colorful carpet of extraordinary beauty from a variety of flowering plants.
Together with polysander trees, orchids, geraniums and blueberry fields, the island is a botanical garden with a magnificent collection of flora representatives from all over the world. Tropical plants such as mangosteen, mangoes, avocados and bananas give very generous harvests here, and dizzying aromas of fennel and vanilla penetrate into the distant gorges and corners of the island.
Pico Island
This island is the pearl of the Azores archipelago and is included in the list of "Exotic Travel Destinations". To date, it is little known among tourists, and therefore is not spoiled by their attention. The peculiarity of this island is its unforgettable landscape and natural diversity.
In the vicinity of Pico Island lies the migratory path of whales, which makes this place unique. The coast of the island is densely planted with vineyards, from which wine is made, which is very popular in Europe.
And here is the symbol of the island - Pico volcano. From the top of this volcano, you can admire magnificent panoramic views, villages spread along the coast and huge rocks covered with flowering plants. The variety of plants, trees (including fruit trees) amaze even those who visit these places not for the first time.
Koh Chang Archipelago
Thailand is often associated with a fertile land, because this kingdom has a certain charm and gloss, no matter what you have in front of you - a snow-white beach or fertile rice fields, ancient architecture or modern cities. But in this kingdom there is a wonderful, unusually beautiful exotic place - the Koh Chang archipelago.
He with his creamy beaches, coral reefs, the diversity of the underwater world and the tropical jungle looks almost untouched against the background of the rest of Thailand. Koh Chang is one of the best unspoiled wilderness areas in Southeast Asia. Once the development of tourism in this archipelago was prevented by a government ban and insufficient drinking water, but there is no fuss and crowds of restless tourists.
Uruguay
South America has always been famous for its incendiary rhythms, bright colors and extreme places. And if you want to match relaxing holiday with amazing adventures, and visit exotic places, then sunny Uruguay is what you need.
This "modest" and "calm" South American country compares favorably with its neighbors - Brazil and Argentina with low crime rates. Here you will find magnificent beaches, beautiful nature reserves with untouched wildlife, colonial architecture, bullfighting and much, much more.
Taiwan
Taiwan is famous not only for its Asian flavor, but also for its stunning nature, which is why it is considered one of the most interesting exotic travel destinations. Previously, the island was called Formosa, which means “beautiful” in translation, and you will see for yourself if you go to this paradise place.
Here you will find a huge variety of amazing endemic plant species, mountains covered with dense tropical forests, beautiful rivers and hot springs. All these natural beauties have made the landscape of the island simply unique.
In addition, many amazing ancient monuments of architecture have been preserved in Taiwan. And one of the attractions of Taiwan is food, so many tourists go here on gastronomic tours.
This is where I would like to end my story, and if you “like” these exotic places, we will talk more about each of them on the pages of new articles. See you!

How to spend your next vacation? If the standard beach holiday is boring, the buffet is no longer amazing, and Turkey and Egypt seem not much more exotic than the resorts of the Black Sea coast, you can always take a chance and abandon the standard tourist routes. We carefully chose 5 truly unusual and impressive places. Some of them will not be so easy to get to, but believe me, the long road is worth it.
1. Valley of Geysers in Iceland
A trip to Iceland is no longer rare and exotic. But the real fountain of impressions, literally and figuratively, promises to give the unique Haukardalur Valley, also known as the Valley of Geysers.
Of course, something similar can be seen and in other regions of the world, including in Kamchatka. But after all, it was in honor of the famous Geysir, which throws out jets of water to a height of 60-70 meters several times a day, that absolutely all the geysers of the world were named.
There are smaller geysers in the Valley. For example, Strokkur works almost like a clock, shooting steam and hot water to a height of 20-30 meters every 10 minutes. Here, without going far, you can admire the sky-blue Blazi Lake and spend an unforgettable time at beautiful waterfall Gullfoss, translated into Russian - "golden waterfall".
How to get there
There are no direct flights to Iceland from Russia. It is most convenient to fly to Reykjavik with a change in Helsinki, Stockholm, Copenhagen or London. According to the service skyscanner, a ticket from Moscow will cost 24-30 thousand rubles.
Regular buses run from the capital of Iceland to the valley itself, you can also book an excursion or rent a car for a day or two. But the most interesting thing will be hitchhiking - in Iceland it is absolutely safe and a lot of fun.
2. Socotra Island - the pearl of Yemen
This fabulous island, located in the Northwest Indian Ocean, due to its unusual location and complete isolation from other lands, is distinguished by completely unique species of flora and fauna, many of which are not found anywhere else.
Surreal, one might say, alien landscapes will make even the most unflappable person turn into a crazy amateur photographer who takes pictures of every leaf, bush and tree.
Although it is very dry and warm here, nature is striking in its diversity: sprawling trees, the trunks of which bend at the most incredible angles, unusual flowers, fantastic shrubs, in which you can see the rarest birds and small animals. By the way, from Sanskrit, the name Socotra is translated as the Island of Happiness, and indeed, everyone traveler who came here, at least for a while, will feel absolutely happy.
How to get there
The flight from Moscow to Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, is carried out by a variety of carriers, including Turkish Airlines, Emirates and Qatar. The flight will cost about 18-30 thousand rubles with a transfer in Istanbul, Dubai, Doha or Sharjah. You can fly to the island itself using the services of Yemeni air carriers, a ticket will cost another $ 100-150.
3 Peyto Lake Canada
Peyto Lake is considered the most beautiful lake in Canada, and Canada is the “land of lakes”, tiny and great, flat and mountainous, there are countless of them.
The high-profile title is fully justified: such the purest water an incredible turquoise color, perhaps not found anywhere else in the world. The fact is that the glaciers that feed the lake contain the so-called "mountain glacial flour", which gives the water a bewitching blue tint.
The surrounding landscape will not disappoint either: the majestic Rocky Mountains admire the lake, and the luxurious evergreen forests of Banff National Park guard this natural treasure.
How to get there
The nearest international airport to the lake is located in Calgary, the capital of the Canadian province of Alberta. You can fly to Calgary from Russia only with transfers, and therefore there is a lot of room for planning: transfers can be done at Europe, USA or already in Canada itself. It is most convenient to choose the best route with the help of aggregate search engines for air tickets.
The municipality of Riomaggiore and the Ice Canyon in Greenland
4. Commune of Riomaggiore, Italy
This tiny Italian village of less than 2,000 people is world-famous for its postcard views, colorful cliffside houses and incredibly romantic atmosphere.
From the neighboring town of Manarola to Riomaggiore, the so-called Road of Love (Via dell'Amore) goes - a picturesque path laid in the rocks. Many lovers come here to hang a symbolic lock-amulet.
Despite the fact that there is generally nothing to do in Riomaggiore for a long time, there are no museums and historical monuments (this goodness is in abundance in other Italian cities), but it’s definitely worth coming here at least once: there are amazingly beautiful sunsets and sunrises, delicious homemade wine and a small cozy beach, which seems to be created for talking about love.
How to get there
Up to Riomaggiore, mountain paths and paths from neighboring villages, which are located in national park Cinque Terre in the province of La Spezia. The easiest way is to take the regional train line Genoa - Rome, which stops in many towns of the Cinque Terra.

Most big Island on Earth is rich in unique ice formations, the largest of which is the Ice Canyon, the depth of which reaches 45 meters.
Majestic snow-white blocks as high as a multi-storey building frame the purest blue river, along which large fragments of ice slowly float.
If you're lucky, you can see white bears, polar wolves and reindeer here, and seals and walruses chilling in the water. Those who dare to descend into the very heart of the winter kingdom will be rewarded with a view of bewitching ice caves, in which the sky is replaced by bizarre "clouds" of dark blue ice.
How to get there
Journey will not be fast and cheap. First you need to get to Copenhagen, which will cost in the range from 7 to 25 thousand rubles. Already from the Danish capital airline Air Greenland operates regular flights to Kangerlassuaq and Narsarsuaq. To the northernmost canyon in the world, you will need to ride a dog sled, which in itself is an amazing adventure.

10. Sicily
Island in the Mediterranean. One of the most interesting and pristinely beautiful islands. Fanciful cliffs, countless bays and bays, majestic mountain landscapes, velvety sandy beaches, immersed in the greenery of orange and olive groves of the valley. 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. 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 below it are several “sleeping” and “dormant” volcanoes. For example, the Grimsvotn volcano, which “waked up” quite recently in 2011. Then the smoke rose to 15 kilometers and the "sky" over the country had to be "closed" for flights.
And at the foot of the second largest Icelandic glacier - Langjökull - "hidden" the valley of geysers Haukadalur, amazing.
8. Mauritania
Edge of the Sahara. Here is a geological formation, stunning in its beauty and "cosmic" origin. Guell Er Richat - "Eye of the Sahara". 50 kilometers in diameter. It remains only to speculate about its nature. Huge meteorite? Dormant volcano? Or, after all, alien guests?
7. Denmark
Speaking of the most exotic places in the world, one cannot fail to mention another "alien" landscape. The real "Martian Chronicles" of the Danish city of Skagen. Picturesque. Fantastic. Soothing. A little creepy. And it does not fit at all into the usual European perception of the picture of one of the richest and most developed modern countries. Sand dunes. Desert shores. Mysterious mystery and a halo of something unearthly.
6. Bolivia
The most famous and largest salt lake on the planet is Uyuni Salt Flats. Southwestern Bolivia looks, thanks to him, like a distant uninhabited planet. Salty desert. Surrounded by giant cacti, marvelous texture volcanoes and rushing geysers. It seems that these are man-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 like, the "Gates of Hell") - is located here. Darvaz - a huge gas crater - one of the most exotic places in Turkmenistan. Diameter - 60 meters. Depth - 20 meters. The gas that fills the crater has been burning ever 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 man-made, thanks to unlucky Soviet geologists, more than anyone else. But that doesn't make it any less exotic.
4. USA
Arizona-Utah border. Between the two states - another "Martian corner" - unearthly red canyons - a frame. About 700 of the natural canyons were flooded here during the creation of 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.
Ibid, Colorado Plateau, between Arizona and Utah. And its main sand 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 was shaped by the erosion of sandstone under the influence of winds and rains. Looks impressive.
3. Mexico
One more the most unique place on the ground - Cave of crystals. It is full of crystals, among which the largest in the world - 11 meters in size. These giants have been formed over millennia as a result of unique micro climatic conditions caves. The "climate" of the cave is quite hot - all year round Here the air temperature is +58°С.

Here the mountains "grow" directly from the ocean. There are hundreds of waterfalls in the mountains. It is surrounded by tropical forests. And fresh lava active volcanoes flows directly into the Pacific Ocean. Kauai is a lush exotic landscape with lush tropical vegetation and a reputation as a "garden island". Amazing sunset on Waikiki beach. Life here takes on a different, new meaning. And what you see is never forgotten.
Why is it called the "Island of the Gods"? It looks like more than all other places in the world… no, not like another planet, but like Paradise. Relax in paradise - why not exotic? Paradise beaches with white sand, slender mountains and dormant volcanoes, resting their tops on the sky, sacred caves of mysterious depths.

Extreme vacation - exotic vacation spots
Fed up of primitive fast food like Greece, Bulgaria or Tunisia? Fortunately, Turkey and Egypt were banned, so there is no question of them. The time of tourist primitivism is passing - the souls of travelers crave fresh air, icebergs and bears. And you will get them in this section of the site.
We will tell you about extreme tours to the North Pole and trips to Svalbard. 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 bags, prepare high fur boots and corned beef - we are going to a place where there are no beaches, cozy cafes and ever-smiling waiters.
The most exotic places for a tourist trip
Now travel agencies can drop you anywhere - from Afghanistan and Chernobyl to the Death Trail in China. Some places repel with a gloomy reputation, others with dangers lurking. But there are corners on the planet in which it is, in principle, problematic to survive due to harsh climatic conditions. These exotic countries cannot even be called countries. Take the same North Pole, it does not belong to anyone at all. In this section you are waiting for:
- Tours to the Arctic and the North Pole.
- Journey to Svalbard.
- Cruise to Antarctica.
The places that will be discussed are the most inaccessible 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.
Svalbard is not Turkey for you
The tourism business has even touched Svalbard - the Norwegian archipelago, located far beyond the Arctic Circle. True, tourist movements in Svalbard are tightly controlled - in order to leave the zero zone, you will need a special document.
The advantages of the 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 monitor the environment, so no one will rescue 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 be afraid of. Offers:
- information about the zero zone;
- description of walking tours;
- rest features;
- list of attractions;
- travel cost calculation.
The Arctic and the North Pole - it's time to ride on an icebreaker
There are places more remote from civilization than Svalbard. In childhood, many of us read about polar explorers, but did not think that it was really possible to repeat their routes for money. Domestic operators offer a tour to the Arctic - an unforgettable adventure that unfolds in the vastness of Svalbard, 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 a hotel in Iceland, but you can also go on an exciting icebreaker cruise. Offers:
- rare representatives of the fauna;
- incredible landscapes;
- ice seas;
- undeveloped spaces;
- northern sights.
The North Pole is a mysterious and inaccessible place for mere mortals. Fortunately, mankind invented icebreakers, and travel agencies guessed to sell tours to the North Pole. Departure point - Murmansk. Ice and hummocks stretch further, and you should not go out on deck in shorts. By the way, despite the severity of the route, the cabin will be warm, the food will be delicious, and the program will be rich. In a separate article, we intend to highlight the following points:
- description of the icebreaker "Kapitan Dranitsyn";
- excursion on the ship "Professor Khromov";
- travel on the icebreakers "Yamal" and "50 Years of Victory";
- interesting polar facts;
- travel cost calculation.
Cruise to Antarctica - the original southern trip
Someone likes the warm southern seas, and someone likes ice hummocks and penguins. You can get to Antarctica by sky or by 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 recent years, the popularity of sea cruises to Antarctica has been growing, while the level of comfort will depend on the class of the ship you choose. We will try to talk about expedition ships of large and small sizes, shed light on their specifications and services provided on board. Description awaits 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 subpolar zones. For many years, travel agencies have been offering travelers high-risk safaris and hunting expeditions. However, it is possible to combine a passion for the cold with outdoor activities - for this there are dog sled safaris. You can buy a dog sled tour in Karelia and Finland, Iceland and Greenland, Kamchatka and Svalbard.
Often dog sledding tours are associated with downshifting and have an educational ethnographic bias.
"Dog" safaris allow not only to feel the hardships of the life of drivers, but also to feel the romantic spirit of the polar landscapes. Most of the time you will spend in the tundra - on dog sleds or in the 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 Baikal.
You will find a detailed description of tours, costing and useful tips for survival. Particular attention will be paid to Finland.
Tired of vegetating in the snowy tundra? Looking for warmth and new adventures? Then it is worth changing the location and moving to the African savannah - where the trumpet roar of an elephant and the menacing growl of a lion are heard. African safaris are invariably associated with hunting adventures - this is the trail of real men. The top of the pyramid is the 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".
African hunting tours are expensive.
From 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, make a list of the necessary equipment and start calculating the cost of the tour. You have to learn a lot of new things - for example, why a hunter needs a dog. For those who want to feel the hot African spirit, a video of the safari "Hunting for lions" has been prepared. Not to look nervous!
