Cenote Ik Kil (Chichen Itza, Mexico)
There are tons of cenotes (natural swimming holes) around Mexico's Yucatán Penninsula, but there are none quite like Ik Kil, located just near the archeological ruins of Chichen Itza. It's 85 feet deep and surrounded by rainforests, hanging vines, and lush trees.

Havasu Falls
In a state full of natural beauty, Havasu Falls stands out. The blue-green falls are so stunning, they were basically born to be Instagrammed, but getting there is no easy feat. Only those willing to hike 10 miles each day will get to experience the falls for themselves.

Jellyfish Lake (Palau)
Haven't you always wanted to swim with jellyfish? Well, on Eil Malk Island in Palau, you can. The saltwater lake (one of seven underwater wonders of the world) is aptly named after the millions of golden creatures that inhabit its waters. Don't worry, they won't sting you.

Figure Eight Pools (Sydney, Australia)
About an hour from Sydney in Royal National Park you'll find this cluster of picture-perfect, naturally-formed rock pools. Not a trek for the faint of heart, you'll need about three hours (and some pretty good endurance) to make the round-trip hike.
