Horsetail Falls, California, USA<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"A
Horsetail Fall in Yosemite National Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Located in Yosemite National Park, California, Horsetail Fall is a spectacular waterfall with a magical twist. For the last two weeks in February, as winter melts away, the setting sun reaches a perfect angle that lights up the waterfall with a bright red and orange glow earning it the nickname, \u201cfirefall\u201d. Really, the water looks like lava splitting the earth, creating an epic natural phenomenon that feels like something out of Lord of the Rings \u2013 it’s what makes it one of the USA’s most memorable on-land water experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pamukkale’s terraced pools<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCotton castle\u201d. That\u2019s what Pamukkale means in Turkish, and after a visit to the magical cascading hot springs, the name makes sense. This treasure of a UNESCO World Heritage site is both beautiful and therapeutic, and one of Europe\u2019s most loved water experiences. Its travertine terraced pools are filled with mineral-rich waters known for their brilliant white color and believed to have healing properties. You can dip your toes or take a swim in the warm waters while admiring the stunning views of the surrounding mountains. It is also right next to ruins of the ancient Roman city of Hierapolis, so your visit to the cotton castle can also include an exploration of the ruined city\u2019s well-preserved amphitheater, necropolis and thermal baths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
