Provence, France
The Southeastern region of France near the Mediterranean boasts some of the world’s most magnificent landscapes. The famous French Riviera is located in this region as well.
There are many small towns in Provence, including Arles, where Vincent Van Gogh painted 187 pieces from 1888-1889. Looking at his work, it’s easy to see that it was the beauty and color of the French countryside that inspired him.
Las Salinas de Torrevieja, Spain
Las Salinas de Torrevieja is a national park located in Spain. This park is also home to a very peculiar lake.
Due to the high concentrations of salt and minerals found in this body of water, the entire lake is a pale pink. The scene is made even more colorful by its flamingo population.
The lake is shallow, and visitors come here to experience the detoxifying nature of the minerals.
Walking paths, horse rides, and trains are also available to help you enjoy your experience.
Fushimi Inari-taisha, Japan
Fushimi Inari-taisha, or Shrine, is located in Kyoto, Japan. This is the head shrine of Inari, the Shinto god of rice and sake.
While the shrine itself is stunning, as well as the dozens of statues of foxes (the messengers of Inari), graveyards, and miniature shrines, many people visit Fushimi Inari-taisha for its path of 5,000 bright orange torii gates.
These gates have been featured in many movies, and offer a breathtaking experience.
