25 MOST BEAUTIFUL BUCKET LIST PLACES

25. SALAR DE UYUNI
Let’s kick off this dream list full of beautiful bucket list destinations with Uyuni. Salar de Uyuni is located in Bolivia, and it is one of the biggest salt flats in the world. Uyuni in total covers area of 12.106 sq km, containing 11 billion tons of salt.
Isn’t it just incredible?

But what makes these places truly magical is a surface reflection that you can get during the rainy or wet season. Driving through endless white landscapes, you will witness some of the most breathtaking sunrises and sunsets of your lifetime.
We highly recommend booking a full-day tour to explore Uyuni. And if you have more days to spare, then definitely do three days camping tour under the skies. PS: It will get cold at night.
Okay, if we didn’t persuade you with our text and photos, then watch (non edited) our sunrise video from Uyuni.
Now, we got you, didn’t we? Make sure to read our full guide on how to spend a full day exploring Salar de Uyuni.
If you are already visiting Bolivia, make sure to stop by authentic Isla del Sol at Titicaca lake.
24. GREAT OCEAN ROAD
Australia is full of amazing bucket list places, such as the Sydney Opera house, Great barrier reef, Whitsundays, etc, etc, etc. However, driving on the Great ocean road is the ultimate dream for everyone who comes to visit Australia.

Most of the travelers are urged to see the famous Twelve Apostles. Although it can get really crowded here, the view is absolutely stunning.
However, that’s not all. The ocean road is well known for its winding roads, green hinterland and amazing waterfalls in Otway National Park.

The best way to reach the Twelve Apostles is by a car from Melbourne. We visited all the places which you need to see on your Great Ocean route, so make sure to check out our 2 days Ocean road Self-Drive with the best beaches and views.

23. MAYAN RUINS OF TULUM, MEXICO
Ahhhhhhh Tulum. One of my favorite dream places in this world. The Mayan ruins of Tulum are the leftovers of the only Mayan city that was built on the coast.
You do not need a full day to explore the Mayan ruins, but you will definitely get caught up in staring into an incredibly blue ocean. The best thing about the Mayan ruins is that Playa Paraiso is just around the corner.

If you would like to know how to visit Mayan ruins of Tulum and learn more about the history, then make sure to read our full guide on the Tulum ruins.
Tulum is not only famous for its ancient Mayan ruins, but for its beautiful white sand beach, Caribbean waters, and great atmosphere. And how could I forget the food? If you are not a fan of Mexican cuisine yet, don’t worry, you will be after.

If you are already visiting Tulum, you need to visit one of the New Seven Wonders of the World: Chitzen Itza. Also, incredible paradise island Isla Mujeres near Cancun.

22. LUCKY BAY
As beach addicts, we had to add Lucky Bay to our list of 25 dreamy bucket list places. I mean, how couldn’t we? Meeting Aussie locals on the white sand beaches? Hell yeah!
Lucky Bay to us belongs to the most iconic landmarks in Australia. Absolutely iconic and 100% Aussie style.
Furthermore, it is 100% guaranteed that you see cute kangaroos hopping around your car looking for some snacks. I definitely felt like the luckiest girl in the world.

We definitely recommend coming to visit Lucky Bay and stay at least 2 nights at the Lucky Bay campsite.
Lucky Bay is located in Cape Le Grand National Park near Esperance and there are more stunning places which you need to see.
Other favorite pick? Hell Fire Bay!
Absolutely stunning!

We visited Esperance during our road trip from Perth to Esperance, so have a look at what places we saw on the way.
If you are thinking about visiting Esperance, then you need to read our full guide on the best things to do in Esperance.
21. MACHU PICCHU
Machu Picchu doesn’t need any introduction. The lost city of the Inkas has been a toursit pilgrimage for decades!
Did you know it was rediscovered by Augusto Berns long before Mr. Bingham came around?
We were lucky to visit Macchu Picchu in 2017 and the whole site blew our minds. Machu Picchu is indeed one of the most beautiful places we have seen in South America.

Despite that it is getting more and more crowded, seeing Machu Picchu is a must. Also, if you have extra time in Peru, make sure to join a jungle trek to Machu Picchu. It is a 4-days trek, which includes rafting, zip-lining, and biking. This way, you do a bit more fun things than just walking on the Inca trail.
Peru is packed with incredible places, such as Laguna Paron, Laguna 69, Huacachina oasis, Nazca lines, Chan Chan & Moche temples, and many more. This is the reason why we spent four incredible weeks in Peru. There is just so much to see.

20. LANTERN FESTIVAL IN CHIANG MAI
Chiang Mai is one of our favorite cities in Thailand. And there is a good reason for it. Chiang Mai is full of magic wherever you look. Once you come to Chiang Mai, you will be rewarded with beautiful surroundings, incredible temples, and tasty food.
And right in Chiang Mai on the second full moon of the Lanna calendar, the famous Yi Peng and Loi Krathong festival is on. You will get the chance to see thousands of lit lanterns floating in the sky. For us, being able to attend the Yi Peng celebration belongs to some of the best experiences in Thailand you can have.
Isn’t this just one of the most magical sights?


Apart from the Yi Peng festival, there are many beautiful temples and sights in Chiang Mai. You can also visit an elephant sanctuary, learn how to cook Thai food, and see the weirdest temple in Thailand, Wat Rong Khun, also known as the White Temple of Thailand on a day trip.

19. ANGKOR WAT, CAMBODIA
The most famous landmark of Cambodia is, without any doubt, Angkor Wat. Angkor Wat is not only famous for its movie scenes from Tomb Rider with Angelina Jolie, but also for its sheer size with ancient temples and lots of history.
Dating to the 12th century, did you know that Angor Wat is the largest religious monument in the world?

Interestingly it was at first build as a Hindu temple and then transferred to a Buddhist temple. Angkor Wat is the 8th Wonder of the world. We absolutely agree!

18. CARTAGENA, COLOMBIA
For me, Cartagena is one of the most magical towns in the world. I mean it! Strolling around the streets of Cartagena is an ultimate dream, and that is why I had to add it to the list of dreamy destinations.
If you have never heard of Cartagena, then here it’s a little introduction. Also known as Cartagena de Indias is a coastal town on the eastern side of Colombia.
Cartagena is famous for its Caribbean vibes, pastel houses, historical city center, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Also, very friendly people, lots of dancing, and flowers popping out everywhere.

And if you visit Cartagena and looking for the pretty places for you photos, then have a look at our post about the best photos spots in Cartagena.

Fairy tale Cappadocia is a small vast region in central Turkey known for strange rock formations assembled in Monks Valley and Göreme, and you guessed it… Cappadocia is famous for spotting hundreds of colorful hot air balloons in the skies.
It was obvious to add Cappadocia to this dreamy bucket list that you need to visit. And if you would like to see magical balloons in the air then you should visit little town Göreme.

Would you visit this dream destination?
15. VINICUNCA RAINBOW MOUNTAIN
We have mentioned Peru already, but I hope you don’t mind bringing up Cusco again. Most of the people end up going to Machu Picchu and have no strength to hike one of the most colorful mountains in the world.
Hopefully, this photo will open your eyes! You need to see Rainbow Mountain!

Getting to Rainbow Mountain is not the easiest task, as you will be going to 5.200 meters above the sea. It is often cold and very windy out there, but definitely worth it. What do you think? Isn’t this one of the most dreamy destinations in the world?
If you are wondering how to get to Rainbow Mountain on a day trip from Cusco, then have a look at our post where we describe our experience and how to avoid altitude sickness.

Quilotoa lake is perfectly manageable to visit on a day trip from Quioto. If you are interested in visiting Quilotoa Lagoon, then make sure to read out guide on how to see Quilotoa on a day trip from Quito.

Welcome to Havana, the capital of Cuba, an ultimate bucket list destination for many travelers.
Walking around the streets of Havana is definitely an experience, and you will feel Cuban vibes on every corner.
One of the most popular things to do in Havana is to go for a ride in a vintage car to explore the city. It’s definitely a lifetime experience.

Cuban Lady, Havana Ready to explore Cuba?
Havana is a very captivating city, but there are many other spots in Cuba, which you need to visit. Don’t miss out on green Vinales, Caribbean beaches like Cayo Jutias, colorful Trinidad, historic Santa Clara, and many more.

Why? Cebu is one of our favorite islands in the Philippines. And for many reasons.
There are so many things that you can do, from exploring beautiful waterfalls, beaches, and jungle. And the best thing is that Cebu is not as busy as overrun Palawan Island and its El Nido.

Thailand is one of the most famous destinations in the world, and there is no doubt about it. Beautiful beaches, tropical weather, tasty food, and happy people. But it is also very often overcrowded due to Thailand’s popularity.

The icon of Los Angeles, famous movies and movie stars.
We don’t know even one person in our modern world who doesn’t know or hasn’t seen the Hollywood sign mentioned in the movies.
What makes the Hollywood sign that special is the hike that you can do and get behind the Hollywood sign. From there, you can admire gorgeous views of the city of angels.

Vietnam wasn’t our absolute favorite country in Southeast Asia, but walking around the World Heritage city center of Hoi An was something else.
