Most dangerous walkway

Did you ever seen such a dangerous walkway..?? El Caminito del Rey (also known as The King’s Walkway) can be considered most dangerous walkway in the world. El Caminito del Rey was built in 1901 as a connection between the power plants of Chorro Falls and Gaitanejo Falls. It took four years to finish and in 1905 Alfonso XIII, King of Spain, crossed the walkway for the inauguration, thus giving it its name, The King’s Walkway.
 Built along the steep walls of a narrow gorge, in the Malaga region, El Caminito del Rey has deteriorated severely in the last years and after four people died crossing it, in 1999 and 2000, the authorities decided to close it off to tourists. It’s only 1 meter wide and it stands 300 meters above the river floating in the area. Onlly a small part of the walkway has handrails and much of the concrete walkway has collapsed, leaving only the steel beam that originally held it up.

Wonderful Bolivia

Steam locomotives, rusting away in Dali's desert of time
 In the first part of this travelogue, we showed the serene and fantastic beauty of the Uyuni's Salt Lake in Bolivia - the weird cactus forest, salt formations and volcanos surrounding one of the most desolate landscapes on Earth. We also mentioned the train graveyard, and now we have some pictures to prove it.
 Torgeir Bull from Norway has recently traveled in these parts, and brought us a report... no less outlandish than the last article:

 There were plans to develop the area near the city of Uyuni (3660 ft above the sea level) into a great railroad hub and terminal station. The construction started in the late 19th century, but was never completed. Today, the empty husks of steam locomotives are rusting away under the watchful sun,

World's highest waterfalls

If you've been thrilled (despite suspension of disbelief) by indestructible Indiana Jones hurtling down three spectacular CG waterfalls in a row, you might have wondered if our planet has REAL places with similarly enormous waterfalls in a jungle setting. Well, here is a place with a full 800 meter vertical drop - this should appear lethal even to Indiana Jones screenwriters.
 Angel Falls, Venezuela (also called Salto Angel) is the Earth's highest uninterrupted waterfall. It is 979 metres (3,230 feet) tall - think of it as 2.5 times as tall as the Empire State Building and full 15 times higher than Niagara Falls!

Beautiful Pamukkale in Turkey

Pamukkale is one of the world’s most unique locations which attracts large number of visitors by its unique nature and by unique combination of historical monuments, amazing natural features and welcoming touristic offers. If we would translate the name of the Pamukkale into English, it would be called a Cotton Castle, and, indeed, this place could remind us, by its shinny whiteness, on a huge field covered with pure white cotton. Pamukkale is located at the south-west of Turkey, in the nearby of the city of Denizli. It is a complex of unique mineral and thermal springs, located in the valley of Menderes river, which are often considered to have a healing power. The fact that here you can also find the remains of the antic settlement Hierapolis which existed about more than 2000 years ago, and on this very location there are remains of ancient spas, tells us that this place has been recognized as unique and joyful by visitors for thousands of years in past.
There are 17 thermal springs in Pamukkale which are releasing the hot water whose temperatures are ranging from 35 to 100 Celsius degrees. The waters from those springs are rich with minerals and this is what caused the emergence of the beautiful white terraces on the places where this water has been passing. Those terraces are made from minerals such as calcium-carbonate and they were formed in a shape of various swimming pools. All this makes this location highly attractive for visitors from the rest of Turkey and from the whole world. The place is pretty accessible, there is an airport in Denizli which is about 65 kilometers away from Pamukkale and you can get from the airport to Pamukkale for about one hour of ride. If you are one of those who are planning to visit this place, don’t forget to bring some sunglasses since this place can be pretty shiny because of the reflection of the sunlight from the white surface of the pools.

Wonders of the world

The Statue of Liberty (1886) New York City, U.S.A.

Neon nights in Tokyo

With 35 million people in the metropolitan area, Tokyo can rightfully be called one of the world's great megacities.

Beautiful Sydney Harbour Bridge

The Sydney Harbour Bridge was completed in 1932 and at that time was truly an engineering achievement and triumph. Prior to this, people had to travel between the city center on the south side of the harbor and the residential on the north side by ferry or a circuitous 20km road route, which involved five bridge crossings.
 The single-span arch bridge, colloquially known as the 'Coathanger', and the railway line took eight years to build, and used up to 1,400 workers with 16 killed in accidents during construction. The arch spans 503 meters and supports the weight of the bridge deck. Today, over 150,000 vehicles cross the bridge, about 15 times more than in 1932.
 Recently, climbing this bridge has become one of Sydney's new pastimes and is proving a hit with thrill seekers. Thousands of people have taken up the BridgeClimb challenge. A guided climb is available either during daylight or night.
