In our world there are many amazing places that almost no one knows, where there are no tourists and it is difficult to get to. Islands with crystal clear water, fields of flowers and waterfalls. Doesn’t it look like a fairy tale?

O awesome.club shows 15 secret places on our planet, whose existence is very little known.

Blagaj is a small town at the foot of a steep mountain, between impressive waterfalls and crystal clear waters, with a monastery and picturesque white houses. It is a sacred place for the dervishes and the Sufis, who built the city in this paradise.

Huacachina is an oasis city in the middle of a vast desert. To reach the place, follow a road south of the capital of Peru, Lima, for about 5 hours. The population is only 200 inhabitants. Once there, you will feel completely isolated from the world. In addition, you can practice sandboarding on the sandy hills.

Just imagine: white sand surrounded by eucalyptus forests, next to the pinkest lagoon in the world. Lake Hillier is located in southwestern Australia, on Middle Island, and was discovered in 1802. It is known for its curious color, which does not change throughout the year. It was assumed that the origin of the tone was algae and some particular microorganisms, but later studies have not been able to confirm this. So, so far, no one knows the reason for this pigmentation. The only way to get there is by air.

“Hidden beach”, worth the redundancy, is a secret beach with crystal clear waters and a wide variety of birds. This secret paradise can only be reached by water. After swimming for a few minutes through the labyrinths of the underwater caves, you will find a wonderful view of a beach lost in the bowels of the island.

The Silfra fissure is in Iceland, in the Thingvellir National Park. This incredible place is a favorite of divers and adventurers. Swimming here it’s easy to lose the sense of depth, as the pure, cold drinking water is so transparent that visibility can reach 300 meters.

There is no doubt that the Italian island of Isola Bella, in Lago Maggiore, is one of the most beautiful in the world. Most of this small piece of land is occupied by the magnificent Borromeo Palace and a multi-level flower garden, adorned with caves, terraces and fountains. A harmonious complement to all this splendor are the white peacocks that roam the place.

Popeye’s Village is made up of wooden houses, originally built for the filming of the musical of the same name in the 1980s. It is now a tourist destination with an amusement park, cruises along the bay and breathtaking views.

The Red Land of Dongchuan is a mountain valley southwest of Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province. Due to the lack of infrastructure, the place discovered in the mid-1990s is not on China’s tourist map. The undulating, patchwork-like landscapes feature reddish brown tones thanks to the high mineral content.

Isla de Flores is on the UNESCO list because it has a national park with unique flora and fauna. It is located at the westernmost point of the Azores, off the coast of Portugal. In Portuguese, its name means “cable of flowers”, because almost its entire territory is dotted with plants of a wide variety of colors and types. In addition, there are natural hot springs and ponds, rice fields, unique villages, lakes and also world-famous volcanoes.

Darvaza is a gigantic fiery crater about 60 meters in diameter and 20 meters deep, called “the gates of hell” by the inhabitants. Geologists accidentally found a cave with huge reserves of natural gas, which was intentionally burned to avoid harmful effects to people and livestock. But the fire that was supposed to go out after a few days has been burning for 45 years. It is a unique and fascinating spectacle.

The Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, on the coast of Maranhão, is one of these wonders. During the rainy season, it is simply unforgettable. Every year during this period, thousands of turquoise water lagoons and different sea creatures form between the sand dunes. It remains a mystery how fish and crabs get there after the drought, but the scale of a spectacle of this magnitude is surprising. The best time to visit is from July to September, when the pools are at their maximum volume.

Eight centuries ago, on a rocky mountain in southern Spain, there is a town called Setenil de las Bodegas, also known as “The city in the rock”. The walls, and even the roofs of the houses, are part of the huge basalt stones and protect the inhabitants from the scorching sun and wind. Being there, among the massive mountain landscapes, makes us feel infinitely small.

This place was discovered in 1836 by a French hunter. The Saint-Marcel-d’Ardèche cave is located in the Rhône-Alpes region of France. It is a large network of caves with crystal clear water and rocks of different colors.

The marble caves are on a peninsula near General Carrera Lake in Chile. This impressive network of caves has been patiently and carefully carved by water for thousands of years, forming swirls of incredible beauty on the walls.

The Sanctuary of Las Lajas is located in a canyon on the border between Colombia and Ecuador. The incredible neo-Gothic architecture and interiors are truly fascinating, mainly because the building itself rises above the river at 45 meters high, between rocks and waterfalls.
