With a size of 979m the autumns of angel holds largest on this sphere. This support record deserves this spot on the list, not because of its incredible size (there is abundance of the large water falls outside there) but because in the large way of which it cascades to the bottom, a dynamic posting of water in fall.

Set in the middle of the same Chilean landscape the Incas used to call home, Hotel de Larache in San Pedro de Atacama is the perfect isolated retreat to stop at in the desert if you’re not up for staying at the type of rundown motels usually seen in slasher flicks. Quite possibly the driest place on Earth, ensuring no cities, towns or other dwellings are remotely interested in forming close by, San Pedro de Atacama is the ideal site for this long-forgotten gem.

Sydney has Bondi, LA has Venice, Rio de Janeiro has Copacabana and Ipanema - Beaches in the city, world and a microcosm of their own city. If you lived in Salvador, Brazil’s oldest cities, for several years and Porto da Barra here, I want the morning bath or beer in the evening. The situation is impressive, at the entrance to the beautiful Bahia de Santos Everything from a small, white colonial sharp on one end and white church sitting on a hill to another.
There is always something going on here: small fishing boats unloading their catch, young men dive in the sea off the old stone walls of the port, eyeing children, older girls, beach volleyball, soccer and tennis. On the beach in the bay water is calm and even (as it directly into the heart of Brazil’s third largest city) incredibly clean and clear, making it ideal for swimming. And in a country with more than 7000 km east of the coast, Porto is one of the few in the West, so you can see some fabulous sunsets.
