1. Antelope Canyon, USA
The canyon is a unique slot canyon located in Arizona. Year ago, herds of pronghorn antelopes would roam freely through it. But now you can choose to explore the upper or lower Antelope Canyon. Schedule a tour to view the area where water runs through the rocks, located at the upper canyon. Then visit the lower canyon and admire the incredible rock arches.
