There are places full of magic. We have dreamed of some, many of them are on our list of family trips to do in life. Seeing with our own eyes, the Antelope Canyon, the Australian barrier reef, or Japan's bamboo forests is possible if our adventurous spirit accompanies us, and we organize it conscientiously.

Its sand is white, and its water is crystal clear.
The Door to Hell, Turkmenistan
A crater of fire burns in the middle of Turkmenistan's Karakum desert. They say that its glow can be seen from many miles behind. It is 70 meters wide and 30 meters deep. It is still burning due to an accident that occurred when the Soviets were trying to extract its oil and drilled, by mistake, a pocket of natural gas, causing the ground to sink. They decided to set everything on fire to prevent the gas from escaping, but the flames have not yet died down.
