Machu Picchu
This World Heritage site is easily the most famous spot in Peru, and for good reason. The ancient terraced city’s astounding architecture and sweeping views of the surrounding mountains will leave you breathless (as might the nearly 8,000 foot elevation.)

GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK, JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING
The famous three peaks of the National Park are among Wyoming’s most recognisable sights, the Grand forming the highest point of the range. It’s a hike on many pro adventurers' list, but for newbies looking for an outdoors excursion floating down the Snake River or mountain-biking through the 310,000-acre landscape are viable options, too. Top it off with supper at Snake River Grill in Jackson’s town centre and an overnight stay at the cliff-side Amangani.

Boulders Beach, South Africa
Located on the False Bay Coastline, about 17 miles south of Table Mountain, Boulders Beach shows off the famously beautiful landscapes of Cape Town (one of the most beautiful cities in the world)—bright blue water, granite boulders, and even penguins. Many people swim here just a few feet away from the adorable African penguin community, but feel free to just sit back and admire the beautiful coastline as well.

Boracay, Philippines
With its gentle coastlines and transporting sunsets, it's easy to see why Boracay was voted one of the best islands in the world by our readers. Unfortunately, it's become overtouristed—the island closed for "rehabilitation" several years ago to compensate for overcrowding and unregulated development; it's since reopened to a limited number of visitors per day.

ATACAMA DESERT, SOUTH AMERICA
On a route made famous by revolutionary Che Guevara who kicked off his motorcycle journey in Buenos Aires, head down to Chile through the Atacama Desert into the Peruvian Amazon and up to Venezuela. Vast expanses of sandy flats quickly roll into high tops of dunes and gorges leading to plateaus of dusty grass. It’s a trip for explorers, with the Andes standing tall above the Argentine–Chile border, blurring one side into the other. NASA even uses the desert as a testing ground for future Mars missions.

Niagara Falls, Canada/USA
The Niagara Falls, positioned on the border between America and Canada, is a once-in-a-lifetime type of trip that you won’t regret.
There are two ranges, each located on either side of the border, and both are equally cool places to check out.
The Falls have a natural whirlpool along the base, and a boat ride is available for those who want to even more fully explore the waterways.
If you go in the evening, you’ll be treated to a spectacle of the rushing water illuminated in vibrant hues.

Machu Picchu, Peru
Machu Picchu may have been famous for a long time, but it’s one of the more recently discovered old archaeological ruins, and it’s definitely one of the top best places to travel in the world.
These Incan ruins are full of mystery and intrigue, making them a stunner for historians and those who study them.
The ruins contain plenty of interesting spots, including the famed Temple of the Sun, and the view from the peak of these ruins is more than worth the trip all on its own.
You can also take a hike along the trails left behind to witness even more of the stunning Incan heritage on display.
