Argentina: Devil's Throat

 

Devil’s Throat  also known as Iguazu Falls is an amazing set of waterfalls. There are 275 different sets of waterfalls throughout the Devil’s Throat. It is right on the Argentina and Brazil border. Most of the Iguazu river is on the Brazil side while the falls are on the Argentine side. The falls were discovered all the way back in 1541 by  Conquistador Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca. There are countless ways to access the falls through boat, hikes, cars and walking but no matter where you see the falls it is guaranteed to be a spectacular and a once in a lifetime sight.

Antigua: Devil's Bridge National Park

 Devil’s Bridge National Park is a National Park that was established in 2008. Devil’s Bridge National Park was formed because of wind surges. The wind surges occur because there is no land in between Devil’s Bridge and Europe. Devil’s Bridge National Park is known for the several natural blowholes that can be found all throughout Devil’s Bridge National Park. It is one of the most unique natural sites in the world with the numerous blowholes, nearby there are a lot of swimming spots that are sheltered by the Long Cove. It is one of the best places to take a photo within the country due to the unique angles and view that Devil’s Bridge offers. Antigua is an amazingly beautiful country with stunning beaches and views but Devil’s Bridge National Park topps them all in my opinion.

Andorra: The Nobility Of Time

 

The Nobility Of TIme is a sculpture created by Salvador Dali. It is a riverside monument made out of bronze. This sculpture is a perfect example of Dali’s work. It has a melted clock which is a classic in Dali’s work. There are also 2 different women on the bottom of the sculpture. The meaning of this particular sculpture is the metamorphosis of nature and time. Dali loved to express the concept of time in his works. The tree in the sculpture is to express that the tree is lifeless with no new leaves or roots to show a rebirth. I think that this sculpture being in Andorra is important because this Andorra is known for there mountains and nature but in the Andorra city there is a sculpture expressing that over time nature is going to become lifeless.

Albania: The Cave Of Pëllumbas

 

The Cave Of Pëllumbas is one of the great natural wonders of Albania. The cave is in central Albania in the Skorana Gorge. This cave is open to the public. This cave is very important in history and to paleontologists because human remains from around 10,000 to 400,000 years ago the paleontologists believe that humans were a part of the paleolithic time period. There were also remains of the now-extinct cave bear. Even though this cave is small only 10 to 15 m in width and 45 m vertical the importance it had on history and to science is huge.

Afghanistan: Minaret Of Jam

 

The Minaret Of Jam was built around the year 1190, it is made of completely baked bricks with a height of 65 meters. Due to the age of the structure, it has been under a real sense of danger due to the fact of the possibility of collapsing. It is believed to be built in the capital of the Ghurid Dynasty called Firozkoh. The Minaret Of Jam purpose was to show people where the capital city was located to travelers. The Minaret Of Jam is located in a remote location of the Shahrak District, Ghor Providence. If you are up for the challenge of finding The Minaret Of Jam just like the travelers back in the 12th century then I highly recommend The Minaret Of Jam.
