Belo Horizonte
Brazil's third largest city, Belo Horizonte was founded in 1897. Most of Brazil's gems and semi-precious stones are mined in this area and it is where you can find the best bargains, from aquamarines to imperial topaz. It is just 59 miles from Brazil's most historic colonial city, Ouro Preto.
Amritsar
Located in the Indian state of Punjab, Amritsar is perhaps best known as the home of the Golden Temple, or Harmandir Sahib. It is one of the Sikhism religion's most significant and most-visited gurudwaras (place of worship). Tourists may also be interested in one of several museums, Urban Haat Food Street, Gobindgarh Fort and the Jallianwala Bagh memorial garden.
Tortola Island
Tortola, the largest island in the British Virgin Islands, beckons travelers with its idyllic beaches and vibrant culture. Known for its stunning natural beauty, Tortola offers crystal-clear waters, lush landscapes, and a range of outdoor activities.

Khama Rhino Sanctuary
Khama Rhino Sanctuary is a community-based wildlife reserve in Botswana, located near the town of Serowe in the central part of the country. Established to protect endangered rhinoceros populations, the sanctuary covers a broad area of savanna and woodland, centered around natural water sources that attract a range of animals.
Alter do Chão
Alter do Chão is a riverside village in the Brazilian state of Pará, on the banks of the clear Tapajós River. Though part of the larger municipality of Santarém, Alter do Chão has its own rhythm and identity, known far beyond Brazil for the white-sand beaches that appear when river levels drop between July and December. One of the most famous spots is Ilha do Amor (Love Island), a sandbar just off the village shore that feels almost like a hidden world of warm water and bright sky.
