Five Things to Look At Before You Go To Die

By Andrea Ell 10 July, 2023 3 mins read

The Great Barrier Reef, Pulpit Rock, Kaieteur Falls are all on our list. But there are still some places we need to see before we go. These are our five favorites! Also, don't miss the chance to go on an African safari! And don't fret if Africa is not your destination. There are many beautiful places you can visit.

Great Barrier Reef

It is possible to do so much more than just swimming in the Great Barrier Reef. Liveaboard diving allows you to not only dive in the Great Barrier Reef, but also to get up close to it and to learn how to dive in it. Even an introductory course in diving can allow you to get up close and personal experience of the reef's beauty. There are also options to spend a night on a reef and take part in multiple diving sessions. This will give you more time to enjoy all that the Great Barrier Reef has to offer.

Great Barrier Canyon

Make sure you visit Horseshoe Shelter while visiting the Great Barrier Canyon. The shelter is home to one of the finest examples of Barrier Canyon style rock arts. It is 200 feet long and 15 feet high. This work of art was created by the prehistoric Desert Archaic culture. The art dates back as far as 2,000 to 8,000 year, long before Ancestral Puebloans and Fremont culture. These figures are completely limbless and are exceptionally well preserved.

Kaieteur Falls

The Kaieteur Falls is an impressive and powerful waterfall. However, you might not have known that it was located in Guyana. The 741-foot waterfall at the top of the waterfall is more than 5 times as high as Niagara Falls. However, you'll still have to trek through a jungle to reach the falls, and there are no handrails to help you keep your balance. You will have to use your imagination to reach the top.

Pulpit rock

You may have heard of life lists. These are itineraries that you plan before you die. With titles like "1,000 Places to See Before You Die" and "1001 Paintings You Must See Before You Die," bookstores are filled with ideas for what to do and see. There are even Web sites for life-list enthusiasts. These are the five best:

Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China has been listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The hike is difficult and slow due to the steep steps and sections. However, the view is well worth the effort. Toboggans can be taken to the top of the wall if you're feeling adventurous. You'll need to be strong.

Notre Dame Cathedral

If you have never visited Notre Dame Cathedral before, you have missed out on one of the most iconic buildings in Paris. The stunning interior of the cathedral can be viewed for free. Stop by the rose windows. They are considered to be some of the greatest works of Christian art. The South Rose, dedicated to the New Testament, depicts Christ triumphant in Heaven with four evangelists and prophets surrounding him.
