10 of the Most Beautiful Travel Adventures to Take Around the World

If you had to pick just one travel adventure, you'd be hard-pressed to find something more exciting than the wildebeest migration. Stay in a tent, lodge, or hotel in Kenya or another African country along the migration route, and watch the large herd cross the plain or battle hungry crocodiles during a river crossing.

The northern lights, or aurora borealis, is a beautiful phenomenon named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora. There are a number of countries where you can view these iridescent lights, including Alaska, Denmark, Greenland, Finland, and north of Canada.

The Iguazu Falls, which run from Brazil to Argentina, are known to be the most beautiful waterfall in the world. In fact, it is said that the United States' First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt said, "Poor Niagara!" when she first saw the Iguazu Falls.

One of the seven natural wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon is a geological landscape that's renowned for its natural beauty. It's most well known for its reddish formations.

A cruise to Antarctica will be unlike any other cruise you've taken before. Marvel at icebergs bigger than your ship and observe penguins in their natural habitat.

Yellowstone, located in Wyoming, is the first national park in the US and also one of the most famous. It's known for its large variety of wildlife as well as its geysers and hot springs.

The Amazon rainforest is the last green frontier on earth. It is estimated that 20 percent of the earth's oxygen is produced in the area. It encompasses 1.7 billion acres and runs across nine South American countries. It also holds the largest collection of living plant and animal species. Ride along the Amazon River on a ship, take a twilight hike to observe nocturnal animals, and just enjoy the wild, untamed forest life. It will be a travel adventure you'll never forget.
