TOP 5 locations that will top your must visit for 2025

1. The island of Antigua in the Caribbean Sea (Guatemala ) attracts not only with its warm sea, blue lagoons and scorching sun. What can you do in Antigua? Visit 365 different beaches, one of which is among the top ten best beaches in the world, play cricket (the most popular sport), go by sea to Redonda, which is both an island and a national park, walk across Devil's Bridge and taste the sweetest pineapple in the world - black pineapple.

2. Ocala National Forest in Florida (USA). The coniferous forest covers a huge area north of Orlando and is the second largest national park in the state. There are about 600 lakes here. We recommend making a route through Juniper Springs, Salt Springs, Alexander Springs and Silver Glen Springs. Here you can plunge into the depths of the reservoir and see the incredible and virtually unexplored world of American lakes. By the way, be careful while walking, because local alligators consider themselves the real masters of the lakes (although they are quite rare).

3. Bangkok in Thailand offers tourists many incredible sights:

- The Grand (Royal) Palace, where you can see incredible decorations and frescoes, scenes from the life of King Rama I;

- The Temple of the Dawn, where services and ceremonies are still held, and where majestic relics of Buddhism are kept;

- Jim Thompson House Museum - an employee of the American secret services who revived the Thai silk industry;

- Vimanmek - the world's largest wooden structure built without a single nail, made of pink yew.

4. Raja Ampat is located in the heart of the coral triangle and offers extraordinary adventures for diving enthusiasts. Plunging into the underwater kingdom, you can see hundreds of species of fish, mollusks and corals, giant turtles and manta rays. And if you travel to one of the neighbouring islands, Komodo, you can see the descendants of real dinosaurs - varanians up to 3 metres long and weighing up to 150 kilometres.

5. The capital of Jalisco state, Guadalajara, is actually the cultural centre of Mexico. The city with its incredible colonial architecture is considered the ‘pearl of the West’, and a huge number of luxurious parks and squares gave it another name - ‘the city of roses’. Guadalajara is considered to be the birthplace of world-famous tequila and salsa, mariachi music and chariad, which is a national entertainment. Here you can enjoy the following locations:

- the Baroque Palacio del Gobierno;

- the Basilica of Our Lady of Zapopan, whose architecture is made in three styles - Gothic, Moorish and Neoclassical;

- The colonial-style Regional Museum, which houses 14 extremely popular exhibitions depicting the state of Jalisco in different eras;

- Colomos Park - an oasis of untouched nature in the city centre, which the authorities preserved to demonstrate the flora and fauna of the region before development.
