Being that the Earth’s surface is about seventy percent water, you would think this would be an easy decision. On the contrary, water around the world shapes and forms some of the most beautiful landscapes this planet has to offer. Given the prominence, it’s quite the task to attempt to narrow the field down to only five. Well, we have done it. If you’re seeking out a watery adventure, then you’ve come to the right place. Here is a quick little summary of the top four watery destinations you won’t want to miss all around the world.
Niagara Falls, Canada
Niagara Falls is actually located in Canada and the U.S., but the Canadian side of the falls is the more frequented tourist attraction. It’s actually three different waterfalls. The largest one is the best to visit. Horseshoe Falls, named for its shape, is the most powerful waterfall in all of North America. The coolest part is that you can take a small cruise ship close enough to feel the spray of the falls.
Aquaventure Water Park, Dubai
This place is ridiculous fun for people of all ages. They actually built the waterpark on the famous manmade palm shaped island. It’s amazing just to see the place, let alone actually take part in the adventure. The park is actually home of the longest river in the entire Middle East region. It’s over four miles long. They also have the longest zip line opportunity you’ll find in the area. The best part is the water slide that actually takes you through a shark tank!
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
This destination is great for seeing and interacting with various types of aquatic life. Sea lions, manta rays, sharks, and whales all frequent the waters of California’s gulf, and Cabo is located at the tip of all the action geographically. You will be likely to see all sorts of aquatic animals if you’re up to a scuba diving adventure. If you’re wanting to look a little deeper into the situation, there are plenty of opportunities to explore the deeper parts of the ocean as well. It’s an experience you won’t want to forfeit. When all that fun is over, places like this Cabo bar offer a booming nightlife that lasts well into the morning.
Iguazu Falls, Argentina
Iguazu Falls in Argentina is a breathtaking spectacle of over two hundred individual falls all wrapped into one small area. There are excellent areas carved into the landscape by the water that afford you the opportunity to reach amazing vantage points all around the falls. It’s also surrounded by a rainforest which provides the perfect environment for such a naturally awakening adventure through one of nature’s most enchanting creations.
