Because there are still mysteries in different regions of the world that fascinate and attract millions of tourists, let's take a look at just twelve of the most mysterious places on earth. We do not claim that these places are the only ones that are the most mysterious, or we are "the most mysterious", we are sailing in Brazil, Turkey, Mauritania, China, the Atlantic Ocean, Japan, the United States of America, Colombia, Mauritius, Jordan, Belize and Iceland.
- In Brazil we have Mount Roraima, which drew a series of conclusions from different people. The most common explanations we find are that the top of the mountain, actually a mound that is mostly covered by clouds has existed for centuries already, and that it could be formed by depositing sediment from the rain and wind over the years.

- The pools in Pamukkale, located in Turkey. This natural sanctuary for more than a century has remained the same and has not changed since it was discovered. What makes it so unique is that it contains hot water springs and over the years the flowing waters have deposited minerals that gave the pool a spectacular appearance

- In Mauritania we find the Richat Structure . Experts from different sectors have argued that there is nothing more than a rounded mountain, which has been gradually washed out of water and wind over the years. Other voices claim that this might be the effect of an asteroid or volcano. However, no one can explain why the circles are perfectly equal between them ...

4.Moguicheng is an area located in the desert, not far from Xinjiang city of China. The region is full of mystery, full of strange happenings. That is why it is called Moguicheng, that is, "the city of the devil". The area is beautiful, with its numerous mounds of different heights, similar to some old castles. It is said that the city is formed by dry climate and strong winds. But not the natural beauty of this place attracts the tourist but mysterious sounds.

5.Blue Lagoon. One of Iceland's greatest attractions, the Blue Lagoon is "born" on the basis of a lava formation, the water being kept constant at a temperature of 37-39 degrees Celsius. In the immediate vicinity, a thermal spring that has its beginnings at high seas sends water to the surface, which is primarily used at turbines that generate electricity. After passing through the turbines, steam and hot water are taken over and transferred to the city's heating system. Also from this spring, the Laguna is filled and the water is changed every two days. The water is particularly rich in minerals such as silicon and sulfur and is considered an excellent remedy against skin diseases. Feeling is unique and difficult to describe in words.

- It is known that the Bermuda Triangle, also known as the "Devil's Triangle", is an area well-known for the paranormal phenomena that occur here (shipwreck and flight apparatus). The area is a triangular shape with the corners of the Bermuda Islands, Porto Rico and Fort Lauderdale - Florida in the Atlantic Ocean. Although there are many so-called paranormal phenomena attributed to aliens, statistics show that the number of incidents is not different from other crossing areas. I'm probably better at advertising ... spectacular.

- The Aokighara area on the top of Fuji mountain in Japan was "reported" as being possessed by dead souls. Why? Because it ranks second in the world as a suicide rate. (The first is the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco). Japanese Spiritualists believe that because of the suicides committed in the forest, the spirits of the dead have penetrated trees, generating paranormal activities. There is no compass in the forest, but here we have an explanation: the iron minerals in the volcanic soil impede their normal functioning.

8.Fly Gheizer in the United States is an extremely popular place that annually attracts millions of visitors. Unlike many natural "mysteries", Fly Gheizer is one created hundreds of years ago, when during a drilling process, a jet of thermal water broke out giving birth to the present "miracle".

- In Colombia, we find the "Rainbow Rive" that starts from the end of July and until November becomes "the scene of a color festival". How is it possible? On the bottom of the river there are rocks covered by musk and algae that can not be seen in the rainy season in Colombia due to the fact that the light can not reach them, the water being too big and flowing too fast. In the dry season, there is not enough water to keep them alive, but in the short period of time between seasons, this colorful miracle of bright colors of blue, green and red occurs in many nuances.

- The colorful lands of Chamarel are a geological formation and important tourist attraction in the Black River District of southwest Mauritius. It is a relatively small area of sand dunes that contains seven distinct sand (red, brown, violet, green, blue, orange and yellow). The main feature of the place is that these colored sands are deposited in layers, the dunes gaining a surreal, striped color. Another interesting feature of the colorful Earth of Chamarel is that the dunes apparently do not erode, despite the tropical rainfall of Mauritius.

11.Petra, Jordan. If you visit Petra, the mystery surrounds you every step and every sentence you hear from the guide. The story usually begins with the legend of the city, about the 6th century BC. by a Nabatean, a particularly ingenious nomad tribe. Strategically placed between the walls of a deep canyon that naturally formed, at the intersection of caravan routes that brought silk from China, spice from India and incense from the Arabian Peninsula, Petra soon became a very rich city. Besides being at this intersection of comradic routes, its inhabitants knew how to exploit the most important resource of the area: water. They dug in the rock and built a very ingenious system of ceramic pipelines that captured the rainwater and stored it for periods of drought

- The Great Blue Hole is the name of a large blue hole located in the middle of the Lighthouse reef (atoll of the Belize barrier reef). It is a 305-meter-deep and 120-meter-wide valley. Initially, this blue hole was a system of limestone caves formed during the last ice age. At that time the sea level was much lower, but when it rose, the vault of the cave yielded, forming a karst valley, a form of relief spread along the Belize coast.
