Angel Falls

Waterfalls have a way of drawing people in. The sound of falling water, the mist that rises from the base, the way light catches the spray. Some of the most striking examples sit in places that remain relatively quiet, where the journey itself becomes part of the experience. These destinations reward travelers who make the effort, offering moments of solitude that are increasingly rare around natural landmarks. This collection includes places like the limestone terraces of Plitvice Lakes in Croatia, where a chain of interconnected pools spills from one to the next through forest shade. Or the red sandstone walls of Coyote Gulch in Utah, where water carved out hidden alcoves and pools over countless seasons. In India, Nohkalikai Falls drops from a forested plateau into a green pool far below. China's Huangguoshu Waterfall has a cave tucked behind the curtain of water itself. At the Vietnam-China border, Ban Gioc-Detian spreads wide across the landscape, while Angel Falls in Venezuela tumbles nearly a thousand meters from a flat topped mountain. Norway's Geirangerfjord hosts the Seven Sisters, a cluster of parallel streams that flow straight into the fjord. Iceland's Dettifoss sends an immense volume of glacial water over black volcanic rock. South Africa's Tugela Falls descends in stages from the dramatic cliff face of the Drakensberg range. And in the Philippines, Kawasan Falls creates a series of turquoise pools beneath a canopy of tropical growth. Each place has its own character, shaped by the rock, the climate, and the surrounding terrain.

Venezuela contains places away from standard tourist routes. The Andes hold waterfalls and colonial towns with long histories. The coast features remote beaches and islands with clear waters. Inland areas have caves, rock carvings, and nature reserves. The country experiences rare natural events, including regular lightning storms above Lake Maracaibo. Visitors can explore remarkable locations: Angel Falls plunges down sheer cliffs, Mount Roraima rises with its distinctive flat top above the landscape, and Guácharo Cave holds underground ecosystems. Los Roques Islands offer pristine waters and sandy shores. The Vigirima Petroglyphs show the work of ancient peoples who lived in the region. The Gran Sabana plateau features waterfalls like Yuruaní and Quebrada de Jaspe. Coastal reserves such as Morrocoy and Henri Pittier blend nature and outdoor activity. Colonial towns like Santa Cruz de Mora and San Esteban display architecture from past centuries. Each region reveals different layers of Venezuelan nature and human history.

The Earth offers a wide range of geological shapes shaped over millions of years by weather and the movements of the land. In Northern Ireland, thousands of basalt columns stand along the coast, leftover from an ancient eruption. In Arizona, the Colorado River carved out a canyon more than 400 miles long. In Bolivia, a salt flat forms a giant mirror during the rainy season. You can also find white terraces formed by hot springs in Turkey, eroded sandstone arches in the American desert, or the largest coral reef in the world off Australia. Some formations show that volcanic activity still occurs, like in Yellowstone Park. Others are the result of tectonic plate collisions, such as the Himalayas where Mount Everest rises. These places tell the story of Earth's geology and are still changing under the influence of wind, water, and moving continents.

This guide lists real locations where multiple Netflix productions have been filmed around the world. From New York prisons turned into filming sets to medieval fortresses in Spain, and historic palaces in Eastern Europe, these natural settings have allowed creative teams to bring their stories to life. The collection includes sites as varied as Highclere Castle in England, which hosted the filming of Downton Abbey, the Duomo in Milan seen in Master of None, and the Ikoyi Bridge in Lagos appearing in Sense8. It also features the Georgia Aquarium used for Stranger Things, Washington Square Park in New York for Jessica Jones, and the Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest for espionage productions. These authentic locations offer visitors the chance to see the original settings of their favorite series.

Venezuela offers a range of landscapes for photographers. The country features impressive waterfalls, sand dunes, coral reefs, and dramatic mountain formations. Angel Falls drops 979 meters between steep table mountains and ranks among the world's highest waterfalls. Along the coast, turquoise beaches and islands display clear water and coral gardens. Mountain ranges extend down to the sea, creating sharp contrasts between peaks and shorelines. The landscape shifts between rainforest, grasslands, and coastal areas, each with its own character and light.
