Hi Charlie here drinking cocktails on a beach is a relaxing vacation idea
but some find that too boring but even the biggest thrill seekers in the world may find
these destinations too scary these are places you may not want to go on your next vacation
they are very exciting and thrilling but there's a serious risk you will never return home alive
let's take a look at the most dangerous tourist destinations in the world
devil's pool many people like to take a dip in a pool when they're on vacation
but have you ever been inside a natural pool well that's exactly what the devil's pool is located in
zambia this is the most dangerous natural pool in the world it is right on the top of victoria falls
one of the biggest waterfalls in zambia the only thing keeping you from going over the edge is some
rocks but even that sometimes does not work many people have fallen to their doom when trying to
take a dip in the devil's pool next to the pool is a plaque that says he came for a visit and stayed
forever this was a reference to a man who went in the devil's pool but fell over the edge and
passed away this is not an isolated incident it's actually happened to more than 20 people over the
years but that does not stop people risking it all to see the amazing sights from the pool you can
even dive right off the waterfall's wall if you're so inclined but one wrong move and you will fall
108 meters to your doom victoria falls is one of the biggest waterfalls in the world it's actually
double the height of niagara falls one of the most dangerous jobs in the world is being a tour
guide for the devil's pool in 2014 one tourist nearly fell over the edge a heroic tour guide
grabbed him and saved his life but while saving the tourist the tour guide fell over the edge
but the risk is ignored by many tourists who want to experience this amazing thrill youtubers
including katie nicestat have even gone here but i think if i went i would stand on the edge
sky lodge camping can be done pretty much anywhere this means you can do it in a relaxing and calm
place or a very scary place but one glamping company in peru has taken things to the next level
they have created a glass tent that dangles from the side of a mountain it costs one thousand
dollars a night to sleep here the company sky lodge adventure suites describes these as
transparent luxury capsules you need to climb more than 400 feet up just to get into one but when you
do you can experience a night like you'll never get anywhere else i can't imagine waking up in the
middle of the night and being super disorientated hanging off the side of a mountain i don't think
you'd get much sleep in one of these capsules for some these sky capsules are not extreme enough
that's why instead some people go to the great sail peak on canada's baffin island
it's somewhat common for people to set up campsites on the side of this mountain
these hang off a 4 000 feet sheer cliff face and over the years some campers have made mistakes and
have fallen to their doom this does not look like a relaxing vacation whatsoever a similar thing is
done on a cliff face in china many campers set up tents on this 1 700 meter high cliff they do this
on a very thin wooden bridge this is done on the laujon mountain in the hinan province in china
mount huashon if you thought that previous mountain destination in china was scary then check
out mount tarshan on the side of mount hoishon is a wooden trail these thin wooden planks have
been bolted to the side of the mountain daring tourists walk along this holding a metal chain
also bolted to the mountain on some parts of the trail there aren't even any wooden planks to stand
on instead you simply stand on holes which have been carved into the cliff face it's unknown how
many people have made the wrong step and have fallen to their doom that's because the chinese
government will not release the figures but it's said that many people pass away here every year
death road you may think that everyone would avoid this road because of its name but believe it or
not many people drive on this bolivian road every single day it's very long and mountainous and
leads from la paz to corica since 1995 this road has been known as the most dangerous in the world
between 200 and 300 travelers pass away on this road every year that's because it's made up of
very thin single lane roads there are no barriers on most of this road and the drop down is 2
000 feet trucks sometimes use this road because the road is only 10 feet wide this sometimes
means other cars go over the edge rocks also sometimes fall down from the mountains above
sometimes fog can get really bad on the mountain and this means drivers have no visibility
whatsoever there are also waterfalls which flood large parts of the road very often you may think
this would cause everyone to stay away but its reputation as the world's most dangerous road
attracts many adrenaline seeking tourists every year you can do tours where you bike or drive
down this road but around one cyclist passes away every year on this road so be careful
elephant kingdom elephant kingdom is located in thailand tourists get onto a rusty plastic
barrel raft they then go into the middle of a gigantic lake filled with crocodiles
they then dangle meat over the side for the crocodiles to eat this was a clear safety
violation a local taxi driver took some images of this and they went viral around the world
eventually police showed up and questioned the zoo owner the attraction was soon closed
if it had remained open then people may have lost their lives lake natron lake natron is located in
tanzania it may look like an alien landscape but it gets this unusual color because of an alkaline
salt crossed on the surface of the lake it looks amazing but that's also what makes it so dangerous
any living creature or human that comes into contact with it will pass away and that's why
swimming in this lake is illegal its amazing color still attracts many tourists but sometimes they
fall in and pass away it is known locally as the lake that turns animals to stone animals become
salt and crusted if they go in the lake's water this is a process known as calcification
valley of death the valley of death is located in russia it is dangerous because of the kick
pinnick volcano this spreads toxic gas all over the surrounding area the toxic gas means that no
plants or animals can survive here tourists who go here report experiencing dizziness and chills
they then get sickness and if they stay there too long then they pass away over the years 80 people
have passed away in the valley of death because of how dangerous it is it is closed to tourists
but that does not stop many people going in anyway every year bikini atoll bikini atoll is
located on the marshall islands it was once a very picturesque island with not much going on that was
until the 1950s that was when the u.s government turned this island into a nuclear testing zone
many radioactive warheads have been tested here this includes nukes and other bombs this turned
the picturesque island into a radioactive wasteland the us government is still paying
medical costs to many of the island's inhabitants that's because all of the nuclear radiation has
made them sick over the years surprisingly though its interesting history has made this
a tourist attraction but be sure not to swim out into the ocean too much that's because there are
many unexploded bombs in the water and the water is also toxic because of the testing carried out
