Hawaiian Volcanoes
The famous Hawaiian Islands are definitely on many people’s dream destination list. Palm trees, crystal clear waters, majestic sunsets and tropical fruits may seem like a heavenly vision, but few people know that hiking on a Hawaiian volcano – a popular tourist activity – is not safe.
Many people have died on these routes due to heat and lava fumes or similar situations. In addition, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis and typhoons can also turn this tropical paradise into hell in an instant if visitors are not careful.
Death Pass, Bolivia
Just looking at the pictures of this pass, you can understand why up to 300 tourists die here every year. There is probably no more dangerous road in the world than this 69 km long pass. Currently, this route is only for bicycles and pedestrians because the narrowness and dangerous curves are not suitable for large, high-speed vehicles such as cars and motorbikes.
The descent of Death Pass is often foggy, rainy, landslides and the most dangerous is the 600m free fall. Before 2006, this was the only road from La Paz to Coroico, but today there is another safer road for both cars and motorbikes, so Death Pass is now only for tourists who love adventure travel.
Mount Everest, Nepal
Considered the roof of the world, Everest is the conquest target of countless mountaineering enthusiasts. However, because it is over 8,800m high, the climate on the mountain is extremely harsh and unpredictable.
More than 300 people have died trying to conquer Everest and there have been countless warnings of failure, but hundreds still believe they can defeat Mother Nature.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Many Brazilian cities are listed as the most dangerous in the world, but that doesn’t deter adventurous travelers. Crime rates, from violent crime and robberies to kidnappings and murders, are high in many areas of Rio de Janeiro and other tourist beaches.
Here, both police and drug lords can be shot on the street in broad daylight. Unfortunately, the beautiful scenery here does not compensate for the high chance of being hit by a stray bullet, so the development of Brazil's tourism industry is still difficult.
Darvaza Crater, Turkmenistan
This unique destination is also known as the Door to Hell because it is actually an underground gas mine. In 1971, scientists deliberately set fire to the area to prevent methane gas from leaking out and exploding. Since then, the gas pit has been continuously burning and tourists come to visit every year to take unique photos with this hellish fire.
