20 of the Most Breathtaking Natural Wonders Around the World

The world is a natural wonder, in and of itself, isn’t it? With continents like Africa that host the pyramids and countries like Venezuela that showcase 3,000-foot waterfalls, it’s hard to know where to start your explorations.

Together, let’s take a tour around the world, from the Americas, to Europe, to Australia, and see which natural wonder you’d like to embrace first.

1. The Grand Canyon, Arizona

If you ever want to feel like you’re standing on top of the world, visit the Grand Canyon. It’s a natural red rock formation that’s 10 miles wide, 277 miles long, and 1 mile deep. 

Part of America’s National Park Service, every mile of your hike will be picturesque and memorable, including the Colorado River’s white water rapids. 

2. Yellowstone National Park

If you prefer cooler climates, you might want to head north to Wyoming. You can play this a few different ways because Yellowstone also stretches into Montana and Idaho.

What’s mystical and magical about Yellowstone is the fact that over 500 geysers and nearly 10,000 geothermal features are on display for anyone looking for a little bit of awe and wonder. 

3. Victoria Falls, South Africa

South Africa is a sight to behold all on its own. If your family ever wants to go on a wild safari, South Africa should be your next destination. 

That said, Victoria Falls – on the Zambezi River – will captivate you. Get ready for its rapturous sound and enchanting mists as it drops water down from 354 feet in the air. 

4. The Sahara Desert

Some would say the entire continent of Africa is a natural wonder. With Victoria Falls, the pyramids, and the Sahara, it sure is a treasure.

When you choose to visit the Sahara, you’ll be treated to a visit to nearby Morocco. The best way to venture into this dangerously hot climate is to book a well-reviewed, reputable tour company to take you on the ride of your life.
