At 3,212-foot-high (979m), these plunging waters in the east of Venezuela make up the highest uninterrupted waterfall in the world. The astonishing sight is one of many within the equally arresting Canaima National Park, a vast expanse of untamed jungle that's characterized by distinctive table-top mountains and crashing waterfalls. The remote location of Angel Falls, hidden in the heart of a lush jungle, only adds to its wonder.

Located in Myanmar’s Mandalay region, the ancient city of Bagan is
a former royal kingdom steeped in otherworldly beauty and history. An
incredible number of temples, palaces, pagodas and monasteries lie
cheek-by-jowl along the Irrawaddy River. In fact, Bagan has the most
concentrated area of Buddhist religious structures in the world and each one
has its own unique charm and history. Drifting over the fertile plains of the
Irrawaddy Delta on a hot air balloon at sunrise is the most magical way to
appreciate the scale of the site.

Japan's ancient capital, Kyoto, is a
seriously stunning place to discover. A city of ornate temples, sacred shrines,
well-preserved historic neighborhoods and classical gardens, it's home to some
of the country's best cultural gems. It's especially alluring during the cherry
blossom season in spring and when the fall leaves blaze. Some of the
city's best attractions include the 11th-century Byodo-in Temple, the
golden Kinkakuji Temple and the 1,300-year-old shrine Fushimi Inari
Taisha.
A symbol of freedom and a beacon of hope, the
colossal torch-bearing figure that looms over New York Harbor is one of the
world's most recognized statues. The copper structure was designed by
sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and built by Gustave Eiffel as a gift to
the United States from the people of France in 1886. Representing the
Roman goddess Libertas, she holds a torch and a tablet inscribed with the
date of the American Declaration of Independence. At over 305-feet tall (93m),
the Statue of Liberty is a striking feature of Manhattan's skyline.

It's hardly surprising that this surreal
hexagonal rock formation on the coast of Antrim in Northern Ireland is steeped
in magical legends. According to local legend, the causeway was built by Irish
giant Finn McCool so he could cross over to Scotland to confront his rival
Benandonner. However, scientists would argue that the 40,000
near-perfect basalt "steps" were caused by intense volcanic
activity some 50 to 60 million years ago. Either way, there's no denying the
unique beauty of Northern Ireland's only UNESCO World Heritage Site.
