The 8 Most Beautiful Countries

in the world in my opinion

I visited 8 countries in this English homework.I know that this is impossible,but it”s
my imagination and I can imagine whatever I want to. Every country in the world
has something to offer—think local cuisine, groundbreaking architecture, and
much, much more. But beauty is a hard thing to quantify, which is why I want you to
travel with me along 8 countries that I imagined.

Brazil

There is no shortage of grandeur in Brazil, whether you're standing below the


horseshoe-shaped falls of Iguaçu, kayaking through the incomparable Amazon, or
looking out from the peak of Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro. Fernando de Noronha, an
archipelago off the northeast coast, features some of the best beaches in the country
Lençóis Maranhenses National Park boasts blindingly white sand dunes juxtaposed
against turquoise lagoons. Then there's the biodiversity—the greatest biodiversity on
the planet, to be exact. It's not uncommon to spot jaguars, spider monkeys, piranhas,
giant water lilies, and mangroves (among several other million species).
Costa Rica

It's easy to sink into the pura vida (pure life) when you're surrounded by misty waterfalls,
deserted beaches, and protected jungles. In fact, more than a quarter of the Costa Rica
enjoys some form of environmental protection. Cocos Island National Park, the only
island in the eastern Pacific with a rainforest, is a world-class diving destination replete
with hammerhead sharks, giant manta rays, sea turtles, and dolphins. La Amistad
National Park is another uniquely diverse site, with cloud forests, glacial valleys, and a
rare tropical alpine grassland (say that five times fast). It's also home to Cerro Chirripó,
the highest mountain in Costa Rica.

Peru

Machu Picchu's panoramic views and mysterious stone walls more than validate a
plane ticket to Peru, but the country has more to offer than just Incan ruins. The Colca
Canyon, one of the deepest canyons in the world, is known for its terraced agriculture
and epic birdwatching (find everything from flamingos to giant hummingbirds here). And
don't forget about the shimmering, deep blue waters of Lake Titicaca on the border of
Peru and Bolivia.
Ecuador

The natural wonders of Ecuador stretch from mountains to rainforests to the volcanic
islands—and everywhere in between. The Sangay National Park illustrates the entire
spectrum of ecosystems in the country, including active volcanoes, grasslands,
wetlands, and cloud forests. The crater lake of Laguna Quilotoa is eerily beautiful with
its irregular rim and emerald green water. And, of course, there are the famous
Galápagos Islands, where giant tortoises, sea lions, blue-footed boobies, and marine
iguanas sunbathe on moon-like surfaces.

Indonesia

This Southeast Asian archipelago nation is gifted with rainforests, inland volcanoes, and
a lot of islands—so many that the country has lost count, in fact. The Raja Ampat
islands stand out for their hidden lagoons and white sand beaches, while Komodo is
known for its (surprise!) Komodo dragon population. Mount Bromo is the most well-
known volcano in East Java's Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, thanks to its
accessibility and epic sunrise views. When it comes to Bali, the Sacred Monkey Forest
Sanctuary and terraced rice paddies of Ubud can't be missed.
Venezuela

Few countries come close to Venezuela in terms of sheer natural beauty. It has the
world's highest waterfall, for starters, and the 3,212-foot cascades (that's 19 times taller
than Niagra) of Angel Falls, located in the lush Canaima National Park, are by far the
country's most popular attraction. Mount Roraima also dazzles, with vertical cliffs
stretching all the way through the clouds. The archipelago of Los Roques has white
sand beaches, mangrove swamps, and spectacular reefs and underwater life.

India

Home to Himalayan peaks and Indian Ocean beaches, India's terrain can only be
described as breathtaking. Kerala is easily one of the most country's most beautiful
states, with elephants and tigers, backwaters, and tea plantations. There are incredible
stretches of sand even outside of Kerala, like Marina Beach in unsung Tamil Nadu, or
Chandipur Beach in Orissa, where tides recede nearly three miles out to sea. The
Valley of Flowers National Park is spectacular, as hundred of species of alpine flowers
carpet the western Himalayas in chromatic glory.
Morocco

Morocco has some of the most colorful, exciting cities in Africa, but even Marrakech and
Fez play second-fiddle to the country's natural scenery. First of all, you have the
undeniable magic of the Sahara, where rose gold dunes become almost pink and purple
as the sun inches closer to the horizon. The High Atlas range separate the Sahara from
the sea with epic ridges and secluded valleys. You even have two different coastlines to
choose from: the Atlantic, with arched sandstone and wild beaches; and the
Mediterranean, where views of Spain are startling reminders that you aren't as far-
removed as you might have imagined.
