1- Love Tunnel, Ukraine 

A site right out of a fairy-tale illustration. The Tunnel of Love is a railway track connecting two cities in Ukraine. However, as the years have gone by, mother nature has played her part and turned this into a luscious bit of forest. Thus it’s no surprise that this place has become a famous attraction, especially for couples (as it is said that if a couple in true love walks through here and wishes something, then the wish is bound to come true). 

 

2- Marble Cathedral, General Carrera Lake, Chile

It’s like nature is the artist and the caves its canvas. Although generally an inaccessible spot, the caves are still one of the most alluring places in Chile, and a must visit for every tourist.
