Combined with splotches of yellow and green sand, and the crystal clear blue water, this place turns into this magical and magnificent “Liquid Rainbow.” Rainbow Mountain Between July and November, a species of riverweed/algae called “Macarenia Clavigera” forms an underwater blanket of bright red. This color eruption is caused by a unique biological phenomenon of the aquatic plants in the river. For a brief period every year, the river blossoms into vibrant and vivid shades of colors. The Caño Cristales (or “River of Five Colors”) in the Colombian national reserve of Serrania de la Macarena is indistinguishable from any other river in the world.
Unfortunately, nobody can predict when and where the event will occur – nature does as nature pleases! Crystal Channel This effect is caused by a natural chemical reaction known as bioluminescence, which occurs when a microorganism (like “Dinoflagellates,” as a kind of Phytoplankton here) in the water is disturbed by oxygen. The small, inhabited and remote island of “Vaadhoo” deep in the Maldives, is quite famous for a rare and magical natural phenomenon – the “Sea of Stars.” Glowing blue waves, as if the night sky turned liquid, lapping the sandy shore. Due to the porous tectonic rock beneath the water’s surface, the water gets constantly filtered, which makes it incredibly clear and safe to drink. This beautiful freshwater rift is a popular spot for divers and snorkelers, who want to dive towards the center of the Earth. Silfra is a natural fissure in Iceland between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Depending on the season, these small mountains change in color, varying from green to chocolate brown and hence giving them their name “Chocolate Hills.” Up until this day, no one knows how exactly those hills were formed. 50 square kilometer there are at least ~1270 hills, but it’s estimated that there are much more, in fact around ~1780. In the central Visayas region of the Philippines, you can find an unusual geological formation: the so-called “Chocolate Hills”.
Even though there are nearly no roads at all on this island, it owns a collection of shipwrecks and caves.

One of those rare and extraordinary plants/trees is the ancient “Dragon’s Blood Tree” which grows so well on this isolated island that there are actually forests full of these trees. Around a third (!) of its plant life can’t be found anywhere else on the entire planet. “Socotra Island” (named after the archipelago itself) is probably the most alien-looking place on Earth. Socotra is an archipelago (a cluster of islands and their surrounding seas) in the Indian Ocean and is also a part of Yemen. So it’s no wonder that this scenic spot is also known as ‘the Monarch of the Peak Forest.’ Socotra Island The sight resembles skyscrapers of a city landscape, with the main peak of the mountain range achieving an incredible 4,142 feet above sea level. What makes these mountains so unique, is their unusual variety of mountain formations – a product of millions of years of sedimentary rock erosion. Tianzi Mountainsĭeep in the Hunan Province in China, you can find a mountain range that covers an area of around 21 square miles and a length of about 25 miles. But you’ll get the full experience only when nearby lakes overflow because the thin layer of water transforms the flats into the biggest and most beautiful mirror the world has seen. Salar de Uyuni is a remnant of prehistoric lakes that evaporated centuries ago. It stretches more than 4,050 square miles (~10.600 square kilometers), and its altitude varies between 11,800 feet (3.600 meters) and 16,400 feet (5.000 meters), thus making it a hard-to-reach destination for unacclimatized travelers. Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is the world’s largest salt flat and is considered one of the most extreme and remarkable sights in all of South America.
