Bulgaria: Prohodna

 











Prohodna is located in the north central part of Bulgaria in Iskar Gorge close to the village of Karlukovo. Prohodna is a Karst cave this means that it was formed through the dissolution of soluble rock. The cave is distant because of the two eye shaped holes in the top portion of the cave. The cave is 860 feet or 262 meters long making it the longest cave in Bulgaria. The cave has a small entrance and a big entrance. The two holes in the ceiling of the cave is a great place for bungee jumping adventurous but if you are not as thrill seeking the 2 entrances are the best ways to access the cave to see inside.

Brunei: Tea Pot Roundabout

 











TeaPot Roundabout is a very interesting sight in the country of Brunei. I think that this is one of the most unique attractions that  I have written about so far due to it literally being a one of a kind sight. It is just a roundabout in the country of Brunei that has a sculpture of a Teapot. This roundabout is located in Jalan Pandan Lima Kuala Belait Brunei if you want to visit and see this amazing sight and even drive around the roundabout. The tea pot is most known around Brunei as a landmark throughout Burundi.

Brazil: Cachoeira da Fumaça

 











Cachoeira da Fumaça also referred to as smoke falls or glass falls is one of the most undiscovered and beautiful waterfalls in the amazing country of Brazil. It is the second tallest waterfall in the Atlantic Rainforest with a total of 340 meters. The tallest waterfall on the Atlantic Rainforest is the Cachoeira do Araca which is only 13 meters taller than the Cachoeira da Fumaça. I choose to write about Cachoeira da Fumaça instead of the tallest waterfall on the Atlantic because of its remarkable beauty and resemblance of smoke instead of water due to the mist from the waterfall. You can find Cachoeira da Fumaça in the Chapada Diamantina region of Brazil which is most commonly associated with adventure and thrill. If you are visiting that area of Brazil and want to take a minute from the adventure to witness an incredible waterfall than I highly recommend Cachoeira da Fumaça.

Most of the paintings illustrate mammals but the mammals only have 2 legs. Some of the other paintings depict plants or completely abstract sketches. Experts think that the paintings were created by witch doctors as part of their religious activities. Rock paintings are very rare in the country of Botswana so The Manyana Rock Paintings are a very important research site for archaeologists and historians of Botswana culture.
