Top 10 Must-Visit Natural Wonders
Once Covid-19 is a thing of the past, we will once again be allowed to travel unencumbered, to exotic far-off places. (This is the ongoing hope, at least.) On this list are just some of the most unusual, challenging, and awe-inspiring natural wonders of the world that are truly a must-visit for those who love exploring new and strange places.
Monte Fitz Roy lies in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field and stretches 3375 metres above sea level. In 1877, Francisco Morena named the mountain Fitz Roy in honor of the captain of the HMS Beagle, Robert Fitz Roy. This majestic mountain is also called Cerro Chaltén, with Cerro meaning ‘hill’ and Chaltén meaning smoking mountain. The smoking mountain moniker comes from the belief that the mountain was a volcano as its peak is mostly covered by clouds. At sunrise Fitz Roy takes on the color of pink roses.

The 3-mile-long Kaanapali Beach on Maui’s West Shore fronts a variety of big resorts, including four points options: the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa, Marriott’s Maui Ocean Club, The Westin Maui Resort & Spa and the Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa. It’s easy to swim and snorkel from this long, walkable beach with views of Lanai and Molokai. It’s common to encounter sea turtles, and even to see humpback whales breaching the water in the distance (season dependent).
