#11 Antelope Canyon, Arizona

You guessed it, the famous Windows wallpaper depicts an actual place and contrary to popular belief it is not the Grand Canyon. Antelope Canyon is located near Page on Navajo Nation land and although it is well-known we could not help adding it to the list.

#7  Salar De Uyuini, Bolivia

Salar De Uyuini in Bolivia is the world’s largest salt flat. While a trip through the seemingly endless, white landscape is an experience in itself, the real spectacle takes place after it rains. The huge salt flat turns into the world’s largest mirror.

#6 The Pink Lake, Senegal

Lake Retba, in Senegal, has quite a different color than any other lake on Earth. While at first glance one might think something nefarious has happened that turned the water pink, the truth is much simpler.
