Extreme Tourism: 10 Of The

Most Dangerous Places In


The World Only The Brave
Dare Visit

Presented by Christina Semchenko


In extreme tourism, travelers go to


the most dangerous areas around the
world and try out the most death-
defying stunts, all for the thrill of it.

Whether its mountains or volcanoes, cliff diving or cage


diving, there are people out there that want to try it even
with knowledge of the harmful conditions and repeated
warnings from others against making the trek.
CAVE OF SWALLOWS -
MEXICO
It takes about ten seconds for jumpers
with their parachutes to go from the top of
the hole to the very bottom—meaning any
mistake resulting in a hard landing could
also result in a quick, destructive death.

SISTEMA SAC ACTUN -


RIVIERA, MEXICO
Setting the record as the longest
underwater cave ever discovered on Earth,
it goes as far as 350 kilometers in, has an
average depth of 21 meters, and has a
maximum depth of 120 meters.
DEATH ROAD - BOLIVIA
The Road of Death, or North Yungas Road,
is not the place to take a peaceful bike
ride. While more safety precautions have
been put in place nowadays, it was once—
and sometimes still is—known as the most
dangerous road in the world.

MOUNT HUA - CHINA


Climbing up this mountain has been
regarded as one of the most dangerous
hikes in the world. Many opt to go on the
"Plank Trail," which is rumored to cause
100 deaths per year.
DEVIL'S POOL - ZAMBIA
& ZIMBABWE
Thousands of years of erosion have led to
various rock pools at the top Victoria Falls.
One of these rock pools happens to be at
the very edge of the waterfall, almost
hanging downward.

CAGE OF DEATH -
AUSTRALIA
The Cage of Death is a clear box that's
made of merely 4 centimeters of acrylic.
You enter it and are lowered into the
water, where you'll get to see the most
aggressive of crocodiles.
PREIKESTOLEN -
NORWAY
This steep cliff rises 1,982 feet above the
water, and there are, of course, some
occasional fatalities. This is to be expected
when you try as an extreme of a sport as
BASE jumping, but others have died
merely trying to take a picture too close to
the edge.

IGUAZU FALLS-
ARGENTINA & BRAZIL
Iguazu is taller and twice as wide as
Niagara. You can go on boat tours
throughout the falls for a pretty decent
price, and while many have enjoyed their
experience, there is always a risk.
VILLARRICA VOLCANO -
CHILE
Tourists who travel to Pucon, Chile have
the opportunity to bungee jump into an
active volcano. This option comes as a part
of an extreme tourist package that also
includes waterfall bungee jumping,
whitewater rafting, and skydiving.

EL CAMINITO DEL REY -


SPAIN
Although the walkway was originally
created in 1905 as a way for workers to
travel between two hydroelectric power
plants, it has since become best known as
a tourist attraction, especially for the
tourists who like taking risks.
