Lake Hiller, Australia

Who wants to visit a bubblegum pink coloured lake? Sign us up! These unique lakes can be found around Australia and in other countries for that matter – but, Lake Hiller is probably the most famous. The water is really something out of a storybook. Its bright pink color and high salt content comes from organisms native to the area – namely Duniella Salina, a type of red algae. One of the best ways to view the lake is aerially via helicopter tour of the area. If you are able to hike and make your way to the lake, you can totally jump in!

Marble caves, Chile

In Chile’s largest glacial lakes, you will find the Marble Caves of Patagonia, whose walls are covered in shades of stunning blues. The stripes of blue look just like paint swirls, but have all occurred naturally over time as waves washed up on the calcium carbonate, eroding and colouring the stone. Take a boat or kayak into the caves for some gorgeous views.

Grand Prismatic Spring, Yellow Stone

This huge hot spring sports colours of the rainbow on its banks, making it a popular tourist destination. Where do these colours come from? From bacteria native to the area, strangely enough! It is quite extraordinary as it is also massive – deeper than a 10-story building, for that matter! Extremely hot water travels 121 feet from a crack in the Earth to reach the surface of the spring (Yellow Stone Park). The center of the spring is a vivid turquoise blue that is equally as beautiful.

The Wave, Coyote Buttes, Arizona

The stone in this area of Arizona is quite stunning as it mimics the organic movement of ocean waves, thus its name. There are delicate and widespread patterns on the stones surface that create a lot of depth and perspective, created from years of windblown and water movements.

Spiaggia Rosa, Italy

In the north of Sardinia, you can find Spiaggia Rosa on, Budelli Island. This unique beach is blessed with blush pink sand! How did this beach become pink? Red corals had been pummeled naturally by the seas and overtime had mixed into the sand creating this picturesque destination.

Burano Venice

All visitors of Burano remain intrigued by the many colours and the colorful houses that are reflected into the green waters of channels. Nearly all buildings are painting rich, bold colors. In fact the colors of the houses are planned by the government and thus if you want to paint your house, you need to send in an official request. Some say that the homes were originally painted so vividly in order to help fishermen spot them from distances. The town is known for intricate and delicate lacework and some exquisite fresh fish dishes.
