Thor's Well is quite an attraction if you're visiting the Oregon Coast. Known as the drainpipe of the Pacific, this 20 feet deep well looks as if it's draining the water from the ocean. The best times to check this well in action is during high tides (if you get there an hour before the high tide you can view the well without any water) and during storms when the water is more aggressive. Even though this is a beautiful site to see, keep in mind it can be dangerous depending on the tide and weather!

Welcome to Salar de Uyuni, located in Bolivia, South America. This 4,633 square-mile salt flat is the largest in the world! Because of the remarkable mirror-like effect that happens after a rain, visitors will arrive specifically during the rainy season. The stillness of the thin layer of water will reflect anything above it, turning it into the world's most massive mirror.

To catch these reflective views yourself, time your journey to coincide with Bolivia's rainy season between December and April.

Have you seen these reflections before?

At just over 1,000 feet across and 407 feet deep, it's hard to miss this giant marine sinkhole in Belize! Part of the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System, the Great Blue Hole offers an incredible opportunity for divers to explore. Not to be eclipsed by the views from below the surface, this marine sinkhole also offers awe-inspiring views from above.
If you were to visit the Great Blue Hole, would you choose to experience it from above, or would you dive in and experience it from within? Let us know!

Tell us what your favorite part of fall is and we'll tell you what destination to start planning travel to next!

A.) If you get a tiny thrill of excitement packing away your swimsuits and flip flops and pulling out your scarves and boots, we recommend Berlin. Not only is it considered a fashion capital, the Bavarian region practically beckons to fall-lovers (hello, Oktoberfest!)
B.) There's nothing quite like seeing a landscape awash in brilliant warm hues! If those jewel-colored leaves are your favorite part of fall, we recommend Procida, Italy. We think the brilliantly colored buildings resting on a turquoise sea will make your color-loving self feel like a kid in a candy store.
C.) Is there anything better than curling up in front of a fire with your choice hot beverage in hand? If your answer is "no," then we recommend going to the birthplace of the word "Hygge" - Scandinavia! Check out Denmark's oldest town Ribe, and get your Viking on.
D.) You put the "spice" in pumpkin spice latte, and you need a destination that can keep up with your culinary tastes! We recommend Delhi, India, where your tastebuds can delight in intense spices and a plethora of dishes.
E.) Whether you're more of a Halloween or Thanksgiving enthusiast, nothing beats the celebratory feeling of a fall holiday. We recommend adding New Orleans, Louisiana to your travel list, where you can count on fantastic fun and culture.

Unplug in Canada's wild west! These remote badlands, bordering Montana, are rich with history. Known for "Sundance Kid" outlaws and ancient indigenous stone effigies, this place will have you feeling like you stepped back in time.
