9 Unique & Unusual Travel Destinations that actually exist
Many travel destinations offer an amenity or two that other places don’t – but there are only a few locations in the world that offer a truly unique experience. Here are some places that could be a reference for your vacation.
1. Avenue of the Baobabs, Madagascar
The Avenue of the Baobabs is a prominent group of baobab trees lining the dirt road between Morondava and Belon’i Tsiribihina in the Menabe region in western Madagascar. Its striking landscape draws travelers from around the world, making it one of the most visited locations in the region. It has been a center of local conservation efforts, and was granted temporary protected status in July 2007 by the Ministry of Environment, Water and Forests, the first step toward making it Madagascar’s first natural monument.
2. Glow Worm Caves, New Zealand
Waitomo, New Zealand is famous for one thing. Every year, heaps upon heaps of travelers come here to see the infamous glow worms that line the ceilings of the nearby caves. The glow worms emit a phosphorescent glow that shines from the roofs of the caves like a starry night.
3.The Great Dune of Pyla, France
At 60 km (37 mi) from Bordeaux, in the South of the Arcachon Bay, it is possible to visit the highest dune in Europe, the Great Dune of Pyla (or Pilat). This dune reaches a height of 107m. At this summit, the view is spectacular with the ocean coast, the inlet of the Bay, the large pine forest and, when the sky is very clear, the Pyrenees Range.
4. Ice Hotel, Sweden
Although there are ice hotels in Finland, Québec, Canada, Norway and Romania, the hotel at Jukkasjärvi, Sweden is the oldest and most famous of these frozen inns. Located 200 km (124 mi) north of the Arctic Circle in a little village in Lapland, this hotel is world famous for its dramatic scenery, and its yearly rebirth, like an icy phoenix.
5. “The Polar Bear Capital of the World”, Canada
Churchill is a town on the shore of Hudson Bay in Manitoba, Canada. It is most famous for having the largest population of polar bears that is south of the Arctic Circle. They move toward the shore from inland in the autumn, leading to the town’s nickname “Polar Bear Capital of the World” that has helped its growing tourism industry. Tourists can safely view polar bears from specially modified buses known as tundra buggies. Use of the buggies helps sustain local tourism, but can also cause damage to the local ecosystem when driven outside the established trails. October and early November are the most feasible times to see polar bears, thousands of which wait on the vast peninsula until the water freezes on Hudson Bay so that they can return to hunt their primary food source, ringed seals.
6. Antarctica
Ice. Snow. Water. Penguins. The allure of Antarctica. This cold, southernmost continent is an increasingly popular tourist destination. Its vast landscape of ice and snow, as well as its wildlife population, attract nature-loving vacationers and some tourists who enjoy activities like kayaking or cross-country skiing. Others simply float through the area onboard a cruise. Whatever the reason people come to Antarctica, they’re coming.
7. Sky Walk, Costa Rica
The Sky Walk is a well-thought-out combination of suspension bridges and walking trails through the Monteverde rainforest. These bridges span canyons and drainages, and bring visitors face to face with the upper level of the forest canopy.
8. Blue Lagoon, Iceland
The Blue Lagoon in Iceland is something which travelers should not miss. It also called “The Land of Fire and Ice“, because you are swimming in mud waters while there is snowing outside.
The Blue Lagoon, geothermal spa, is one of the most visited attractions in Iceland. The steamy waters are part of a lava formation. The warm waters are rich in minerals like silica and sulphur and bathing in the Blue Lagoon is reputed to help some people suffering from skin diseases such as psoriasis.
9. Bioluminescent Musquito Bay, Puerto Rico
Mosquito Bay, also known as the Bioluminescent Bay, on the south coast of Vieques is undoubtedly the healthiest and best example of a bioluminescent bay in the world. With the slightest agitation of the water tiny bioluminescent creatures emit an electric bluish white light. Fish swimming in the bay leave a bioluminescent trail as do boats, raindrops and people swimming.

OVER TRAVEL RUMORS
Travel Rumors. Oftewel, reis geruchten. Een gerucht is iets dat je hoort en daarom denkt te weten, niet wil of mag vertellen, maar dat toch doet. Reis geruchten gaan verder dan dat. Je hoort niet alleen iets. Je beleeft of voelt het bijna. Of het gerucht begint bij jezelf. Je ziet het voor het eerst, voelt het, beleeft het en je zal het nooit vergeten. Je stelt jezelf de vraag: ga ik dit stil houden en er zelf van genieten of gaat me dat niet lukken? Als je voor het laatste kiest, is je travel rumor een feit.
En waarom zouden wij iets stil houden? Waarom anderen niet laten genieten van dat wat wij zelf ervaren hebben? Unieke belevenissen op unieke plekken. Die ervaringen willen wij graag delen. En soms is iets zó mooi, zó fijn en zó goed, of juist zó slecht, dat ook wij het niet stil kunnen houden.
Wij nemen jullie daarom mee op reis. Via Travel Rumors bieden wij jou de wereld aan foto’s en verhalen vanuit onze eigen ervaring maar ook vanuit onze passie en dromen. Reis jij met ons mee?
Travel Rumors is in 2014 gestart door Danielle en wordt inmiddels wekelijks gevuld met toffe content door haar man, Karel, en een team van redacteuren en een video editor.
Svolvaer (Islas Lofoten)
Svolvaer se encuentra en las Islas Lofoten, por encima del Circulo Polar Ártico y tiene alrededor de los 4.500 habitantes. La base económica de estas islas ha sido siempre la pesca del bacalao, pero actualmente el turismo es la actividad mas importante. Esta ciudad es una de las mas importantes de las Islas Lofoten y es punto de partida de la gran cantidad de personas que la visitan, aproximadamente unas 200.000 cada año. En general Lofoten es tierra de marineros, artistas y también escaladores. En verano una de sus principales atracciones es la visita al Trollfjord (Fiordo del Troll).
