The first tulip was introduced to the Dutch in 1593, and the rest is history. Located in picturesque fields in the countryside in the heart of historical Holland, these never-ending fields bloom in the springtime, bringing vivid colour and floral fragrance to the Dutch landscape. Routes and tours both walking and cycling going through the thousands of tulips, daffodils, and more can also encompass quaint villages and charming Dutch windmills that delight visitors from the world over.
10. False Kiva In Canyonlands, USA
A haunting, ancient stone circle sparsely embellishes this small cave in Canyonlands National Park in Utah, a relic of unknown origin suspected to be a ritual element of ancient Native Americans. A popular spot for photographers, the trek to False Kiva is not for the faint of heart, and its location is something of a secret, unable to be divulged by park rangers unless specifically asked for; the trail there is isolated and unmarked. Once there, however, the view of the distant buttes and canyons and the wide sky is unparalleled, evoking a feeling of reverence and awe. With nothing but wind-sculpted rock and a sunset on the horizon, it feels as though one has entered a place forgotten by time, and it calls to the mind thoughts of the many who beheld the same sky, thousands of years ago, with the same sense of wonder.
