10 places to see before you die

Yes, yes, we know that you have seen this title hundreds of times and that normally, more or less, it includes the same places. But this time it's different, we're going to tell you the 10 places to see before you die that we haven't done yet.

Glowworm Caves in Waitomo, New Zealand

The Waitomo Caves in New Zealand are a complex of underground caverns inhabited by a glowworm whose larvae, called Arachnocampa luminosa, emit a bright light to attract prey.
If being in the bowels of a cave can be impressive, imagine when it is illuminated by thousands of small lights like a milky way. Without a doubt, an experience never to be forgotten.

The Potala Palace in Tibet

The Potala Palace in Tibet is not only the ultimate expression of Tibetan architecture but represents the image many of us have when we think of a trip to Tibet.
This is definitely one of those places where you can get a little closer to heaven.

Mendenhall Ice Caves in Alaska

Reaching the Mendenhall Ice C aves in Alaska is another one of those travel dreams we've had since we started travelling.
Located in southern Alaska, this ice cave, inside a glacier, offers a unique perspective of something as simple and wonderful as water.
However, accessing them is not easy: kayaking, a good hike, including ice climbing, are necessary adventures to enjoy them.

Easter Island. Chile

Easter Island, one of the most magical and enigmatic places in the world and also one of the most remote, has created in us an imminent need to take a trip where we can spend a few days accompanied by the moais, its most famous inhabitants.

Northern Lights

We know, this is not exactly a place, but it is something we have had in mind for many years and we hope to be able to see them soon. Whether returning to Iceland or anywhere else in the world, seeing the Northern Lights is something to see before you die.

The Angkor Temples in Cambodia

The Angkor Temples in Cambodia are part of the legacy of the Khmer civilisation. Considered one of the most impressive archaeological sites in Southeast Asia, they are the symbol of Cambodia.

Acropolis of Athens in Greece, one of the 10 places to see before you die.

The Acropolis of Athens or "the sacred rock", symbol not only of Athens, but of the whole of Greece, is another of the places we have yet to see.
Declared a World Heritage Site in 1987, we know that a visit to the Acropolis will be an unforgettable experience for us, with which we will "close" our list of "Europe's most important monuments".

Strolling around New York in the United States

New York, a city from the movies and never better said as we have surely seen it hundreds of times on our screens.
They say that it is the capital of the world, a city where people live at a different pace to other cities and the place where any trend is imposed.

The Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia

The Salar de Uyuni is the largest salt desert in the world and one of the most marvellous works of nature to behold.
Impressed by all the images we have been able to see, we can only see it with our own eyes and retain its image in our retinas forever.

A trip without a return ticket

This is not exactly a place, but it is something we want and know we will do at least once in our lifetime.
Who knows, it might be sooner than we think...
