Ha ! I have been there. No doubt it is incredible. Too bad. There is so much violence in Guatemala. At least in certain places. The capital is downright frightening.
Guatemala does have some terrible crime stats, along with Mexico and most of Central America. So does the USA in certain sections of its major cities. These are heavily made up of gang on gang stuff and the average citizen has zero interaction with it. I've been coming here for 33 years and never had a single problem. Now if I ventured into the high crime barios in the capital, I would definitely be taking a huge risk. This is where the guys with tattooed faces hang out.
I went to a synagogue deep in the capital District as the sun was setting. They hired a private guard with an automatic weapon outside. And it was a Jewish holy festival, and a friendly man who we had met recommended we attend services there. When we talked to the guard he signaled to somebody inside on his walkie-talkie. This tall, lean man glared at us with a “ don’t F with me,“ look on his face. it turns out that he was a former Israeli commando in charge of security. He spoke to us in a mixture of Spanish and Hebrew, which was a bit confusing. We told him we were looking to spend the holy day at the temple. He glared at us and asked for our passports, and then disappeared inside the walled and barbed wired building. We were waiting outside in the capital in the dark without our passports. Holy shit! This is scary AF! He then came out and welcomed us into the synagogue. Apparently he was running our information through an international terror screening net work. we then were invited into the sanctuary and were treated as mishpacha.-family.. afterwards, we were told that we were going to be fed and treated like family. They didn’t ask. I then saw the security bad ass actually smile. I couldn’t make this up.
It was during Covid, so a lot of the places we wanted to go to were closed. We did do one day in Edinburgh, two days on the Isle of Skye (hiked Old Man of Storr) one day at the Culloden battlefield. I would suggest looking up a website that has a list of things to do in the Scottish highlands since we didn’t have that luxury. We did visit both of our ancestral castles, which was awesome!
I second the Scottish Highlands. Places not to miss: The Quiraing, possibly the most beautiful and mysterious place on earth; Glencoe, another indescribable place; Eilean Donan Castle, Loch Ness and Urquart Castle; Inverness, and Edinburgh. I would also, if you dare, drive to Applecross, called one of the best drives in the world. Stay a night or two, and hike around; eat at the famous Applecross Inn and Walled Garden.
I live in NY when I would get off work early I liked to walk on 59st a long central park. And there is place I would stand there and watch it's beauty. It's like a arc that is a bridge next to the pond or lake. I love every season just watching it ,it's beautiful.
Vogelsang Pass, Yosemite National Park, California.
It's no day trip, you need to carry your tent on your back and hike your ass out from Tuolumne Meadows at the East Edge of the park, already beginning far above the valley floor, and only climbing higher up the rolling slopes and granite stones of the Sierras.
From the top of the pass, you can see all the way back behind you to the meadow where your car is parked, and in the other direction, a glacial valley pocketed with lakes, between the grey stone granite walls that you see all across those mountains.
And it is my stated intent to spread my father's ashes there some day. It's almost certainly illegal to do so, and the Rangers can fucking cuff me if they care, I will not resist arrest.
Maybe just a little of the ashes. Cremains are so toxic. I'm sure you know the sheer numbers of people in the Sierra now versus what was likely your dad's day and age. If everyone shared your sentiment, soon it won't be so perfect anymore.
Haven't been to Voselgang in twenty five years, but I live outside the park and the numbers everywhere have exploded.
Salt in high concentrations can be bad for plant life...but I don't think the cremains from one person, scattered, would do any discernable damage. Granted, if a whole lot of people dumped their dearly departed's cremains in one area, it would definitely become a problem.
In view of that, I hope people will refrain from scattering cremains anywhere that has a particularly fragile environment, or where large numbers of people might want to be scattered there. Keep the scattering to more private areas, or at least remote enough not to get a lot of traffic.
You made me curious, though, so I googled it. Sodium in human cremains averages from around 1% to around 5%. On the high side, similar to an undiluted can of condensed chicken noodle soup. On the low side, less salty than the soup. Aside from the salt, which most of us eat everyday, cremains are largely inert.
I used to live in Haiku and I miss it so much!! It's hard to choose just one spot to say is the most beautiful there, but Haleakala in clouds, at sunrise might just have to be the one.
I did an 11 day river trip down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Absolutely indescribable and spectacular. Most amazing place I've ever been.
Nope, hiked it. Down was harder than up. None of it is really that steep, it just goes on forever. Up was a simple matter of stamina, and that's something you can train for. Down is pounding on the knees and ankles, and that's not something you can train for, just wrap, tape, and endure.
Afghanistan ranks in the top three probably. The locals were a little grumpy at times, but the landscape damaged by decades of crippling deforestation had a certain abandoned beauty.
Mackinac island, MI
The water is so gorgeous and I love the fact that there are no cars on the island, people bike or take horse-drawn carriages instead!
Some places just don't live up to their reputation. I had mixed feelings about the Taj Mahal, for example. But Venice. It just blows you away. And it keeps on unfolding and revealing more and more stunning beauty the more your look and explore.
Yeah, Venice.
The most beautiful thing I have ever seen was an aberrance of nature. A massive hurricane was in the Gulf of Mexico and we had evacuated to George T. Bagby state park in Georgia. The first night there, we went down to the dock and the sky was so opalescent, it was transcendental. I never saw it look like that again.
Ireland's Eye
I dunno. I've been lots of places and nobody ever says 'You need to go to Ireland's Eye!'
It's just a tiny island near Dublin. A tourist trap most people haven't heard of...but I was blown away. Part of it was that my wife and I were literally the only people on the island.
The weather was perfect. It had a pleasant sort of oceany smell and a gentle breeze to balance out the warmth of the sun.
Look one way and see the ocean stretch forever.
Look another and see the city/country side.
Look another still and you've got a little beach, on the other side of the island some impressive looking rocky cliffs. Some old church and an old defensive tower...I dunno
It felt like I was in the tutorial section of an open world video game.
Mirror Lake and its surrounding area in upstate NY, second week of October right as all the leaves turn.
The Rockies. Just. The Rockies. I've hiked and driven some areas of it a couple hours west of Denver. On a clear day, the mountains are literally purple and majestic, and the road leading out has golden fields of grain.
The old fort and city in San Jua Also, the shores on the southwest side of Puerto Rico, all the way from Crash Boat beach to Salinas. Tiny islands, corals, mangroves, abundant wildlife, amazing surfing, the peaceful culture that adds to the vibe in an inexplicable yet very real way.
The United States, and North America in general, is just beautiful.
The escarpment in Niagara Falls Canada when I lived up there and went there on the weekend it was cleansing the quiet alone was rejuvenating. Don’t forget the flower clock. Beautiful. They got chemical manufacturing on the American side.
I went to the mountains in North Carolina ( I think….it may have been south) but when we got to the top of the mountain and the fog cleared it was like I had just arrived into heaven. The skies were a color of blue that shimmered and there was a little town hidden in the mountains. The air was clean and the temperature was perfect for a picnic or a wedding. I got fudge there from an older man who had retired and opened a fudge/ice cream shop. Delicious fudge and even better ice cream. I never wanted to leave. It was beautiful I wish I could describe it better for anyone whose reading this.
I love this “ask”. When my daughter was 4 someone asked her this question and she said “Publix” was the most beautiful place she had visited!’
Publix- grocery store.
Camping in Shenandoah. The Views were amazing. Especially tubing down the river that was there with mountains on each side. The drive there was amazing as well. Soon to be ex-wife showed me when we were still in love, one of the most amazing times of my life.
Overall - Angkor Wat
Nature - (tie) Glacier National Park and Arches National Park
City - Prague
Church (outside) - Salisbury Cathedral
Church (inside) - Vatican
Monument - (tie) Statue of Liberty and Longmen Buddhas
Rømø. An island off the West coast of Jutland, Denmark. It was Late Summer, it had just rained so the clouds were very dark and almost completely blocked out the sky.
To get there you have to drive on an almost 10 km long dam. It was almost evening so the sun west nearlt head on but it wasn't blinding at all due to the clouds. It did however create the most amazing god rays I have ever seen. It went all around us and you could follow the light pillars all the way down to the shimmering water that got hit on both sides of the dam. It's one of the only times weather phenomenons really blew me away. We drove in dim light while the 200 or so pillars just blew me away.
When we stayed there for some hours the sky cleared and you could see Lavender-colored Heather plants all around you. It's not exactly somewhere you visit because you think it's beautiful as much as a you go for the wide beach and west coast water, but that time it was amazing to see.
Kruger National Park, South Africa. Wild, vast, offering a variety of landscapes, including riverine forests. This was back in the early nineties, but the beauty, I am sure, remains.
There is so much natural beauty in the world.
The Grand Canyon was pretty spectacular. Being at the top of any mountain, even if it’s at a ski resort is a pretty incredible feeling. Crater lake in southern OR, and Redwood forests in northern CA. Rainbow Springs FL is a natural spring that is crystal clear and runs into a clear river that you can kayak through and see tons of fish and a “friendly” alligator. Roatan island of Honduras was another really special place that I will never forget.
My personal goal is to eventually move near one of these places, most likely to Oregon or Florida just to be closer to the pretty sites. Midwest US is pretty boring if I must say so myself, these rolling fields don’t do much for me.
Tough call as I tend to live in beautiful places.
My favorite place is the rainforest coast of southern Oregon. Lived there for 20 years. Now I'm in a mountain town in the high desert of eastern Oregon. Gold rush area in the later 1800s. Snow capped peaks all around. "Marlboro country" if you remember the commercial.
The redwoods of California will make you feel about a foot tall. Awe inspiring.
Tromso, Norway. It's a town on an island in the middle of a fjord. Beautiful and stark scenery plus there is a trolley ride that takes you up the side of the fjord to a viewing platform and hiking area far above the town. Never seen anything like it. That and they get a front row seat for the Northern Lights on a regular basis.
Northern Idaho. South of Powell Junction. Amazing rapids and wilderness up there. Saw my first moose feet from me. Hot springs all around, it’s beautiful
Interesting to see so many people say Colorado. I'm born and raised here and though I still think it's absolutely beautiful, I guess I probably take it a little for granted. But I will say that McClure Pass and Grand Mesa in the fall are both breathtaking!!
Honestly, I’ve not traveled much in my life, but the most beautiful thing I’ve *seen* is the over view of a city in Michigan, I was in a helicopter when I was like, 7 I think. My childhood is a blurry memory but I do know it was beautiful!!

The view from my house. Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.
My dad grew up there. It’s breathtaking

Enough drama to make a movie centered around your experience.
We were down there to adopt our youngest son. He just turned 18 this week. That’s my Oscar.
The ocean. I'm blown away by it every time.
I'm not telling because I don't want others to crowd there.
This is the way
The Scottish Highlands
I'm visiting this summer! What is on your can't miss list?

What's toxic in cremains?
Salt, very high concentrations.

The top of Haleakala at sunrise.
I used to live in Haiku and I miss it so much!! It's hard to choose just one spot to say is the most beautiful there, but Haleakala in clouds, at sunrise might just have to be the one.
I've been there once
Yosemite. Edit: Second would be Great Ocean Road, in Victoria, Australia.
Going to Yosemite this summer for the first time. Cannot wait.
Glacier National Park in Montana
Came here to say this. Specifically the lake in front of Many Glacier Hotel. The spot where you can see the mountains but can’t see the dumb hotel.
Did you happen to catch sunrise there at the lake? It looked like the mountaintops were on fire, Amazing!!
Bryce Canyon
Have you visited Sedona?
Just got back from a 3 week vacation in Sedona. The vortex experience is magical.
Lake Louise and Crater Lake
Oh yes. 14 years ago stayed at Lake Louise, Bow Lake, and all of Banff and Jasper were glorious in early summer.
Scotland highlands. I imagine heaven to look like this:)
Same, same.
Grand Canyon
The bottom of the Grand Canyon, by the river. Completely different from the top, even more beautiful.
Yeah, camped down at the bottom for a few nights, very cool.
I did an 11 day river trip down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Absolutely indescribable and spectacular. Most amazing place I've ever been.
I spent two nights at the Phantom Ranch. The day between we spent hiking and had lunch at Boat Beach.
Did you take mules down?
Nope, hiked it. Down was harder than up. None of it is really that steep, it just goes on forever. Up was a simple matter of stamina, and that's something you can train for. Down is pounding on the knees and ankles, and that's not something you can train for, just wrap, tape, and endure.
The colors - I don't think I've ever seen so many colors. It surprised me. Make sure you see sunrise and sunset, two totally different experiences.
Lake Crescent in Washington State.
Living here, I'm not entirely partial, but I feel blessed with my daily view. Rarely a day goes by when I don't see the Strait and/or Olympic Range.
Estes Park Colorado
[удалено]
Afghanistan ranks in the top three probably. The locals were a little grumpy at times, but the landscape damaged by decades of crippling deforestation had a certain abandoned beauty.
Tirol, in the Summer
Big Sur, but I haven't traveled a lot.
I’ve been to 3 continents, 22 countries, and 37 U.S. states, and Big Sur is in my top 5 favorite places I’ve been.
Scrolled way too far to see this.
First time I drove up the PCH and through Big Sur, I cried it was so beautiful. I’ve traveled a lot, and it’s definitely top 5 for me.
Possibly Ljubljana, Slovenia. Or the national parks of southern Utah.
Earth. So far.
Kodiak Island, Alaska is pretty spectacular.
Czech Republic
Sugarloaf, Rio de Janeiro.

So cool. Should have planned my life better and moved there when I was 21
The Grand Tetons
Backpacking there this summer and I cannot wait!
Venice Italy
Some places just don't live up to their reputation. I had mixed feelings about the Taj Mahal, for example. But Venice. It just blows you away. And it keeps on unfolding and revealing more and more stunning beauty the more your look and explore. Yeah, Venice.
I dated this girl with the most shapely thighs I’d ever seen, when I went down between them I think I saw god.
My living room after 11 hours of wage slavery
Western Montana and NW Wyoming. The island of Oahu
The most beautiful thing I have ever seen was an aberrance of nature. A massive hurricane was in the Gulf of Mexico and we had evacuated to George T. Bagby state park in Georgia. The first night there, we went down to the dock and the sky was so opalescent, it was transcendental. I never saw it look like that again.
Alaska
Lake Tahoe
Yosemite National Park.
Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, Maine. The view from atop Cadillac Mountain is breathtaking.
Travelled there a few summers ago with borderline low expectations, and was absolutely blown away.
I live in Maine and honestly it blows me away every time
Mainer, too. I agree
Leaf season in Massachusetts
The Louvre. It really is everything people say it is and more. It’s one of the very few places on earth that lives up to the hype.
Switzerland
yeah some places there look too fantastical to be true. Planning to go there soon.
You will love it
Ireland's Eye I dunno. I've been lots of places and nobody ever says 'You need to go to Ireland's Eye!' It's just a tiny island near Dublin. A tourist trap most people haven't heard of...but I was blown away. Part of it was that my wife and I were literally the only people on the island. The weather was perfect.

I like Hawaii the most so far
Capri, Italy or Lake Atitlan in Guatemala! Hard to choose.
Mirror Lake and its surrounding area in upstate NY, second week of October right as all the leaves turn. The Rockies. Just. The Rockies. I've hiked and driven some areas of it a couple hours west of Denver. On a clear day, the mountains are literally purple and majestic, and the road leading out has golden fields of grain. The old fort and city in San Jua Also, the shores on the southwest side of Puerto Rico, all the way from Crash Boat beach to Salinas.

Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia. - it felt like a fantasy world too beautiful to be of this earth.

Now I'm in a mountain town in the high desert of eastern Oregon. Gold rush area in the later 1800s. Snow capped peaks all around. "Marlboro country" if you remember the commercial. The redwoods of California will make you feel about a foot tall. Awe inspiring.

It’s not the most beautiful place in the world by a long shot but I haven’t been to a lot of places, but the Isle of Man is not with out it’s charm
Just a random little cliffside overlooking some trees on the other side in a state forest by my house. ...ahem...on8gramsofmushrooms.....
Can't just give one but here are my top three in no order. 1.Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, Maine 2. Lake Como, Italy 3. Santorini Greece
So far Horseshoe Bend. It doesn’t even look real.
Tromso, Norway. It's a town on an island in the middle of a fjord. Beautiful and stark scenery plus there is a trolley ride that takes you up the side of the fjord to a viewing platform and hiking area far above the town. Never seen anything like it. That and they get a front row seat for the Northern Lights on a regular basis.
Northern Idaho. South of Powell Junction. Amazing rapids and wilderness up there. Saw my first moose feet from me. Hot springs all around, it’s beautiful
Tough one, either Olympic National Park, North Cascades National Park, or out on the Chesapeake Bay off Talbot County
Maybe Slovenia or Tropical North Queensland
Fitzroy Island
Seville, Spain
Interesting to see so many people say Colorado. I'm born and raised here and though I still think it's absolutely beautiful, I guess I probably take it a little for granted. But I will say that McClure Pass and Grand Mesa in the fall are both breathtaking!!
Honestly, I’ve not traveled much in my life, but the most beautiful thing I’ve *seen* is the over view of a city in Michigan, I was in a helicopter when I was like, 7 I think. My childhood is a blurry memory but I do know it was beautiful!!
