Death Valley, California

Death Valley is the hottest place on the planet; temperatures at Furnace Creek have reached 134 °F.

The extreme temperatures have taken the lives of many people who’ve been careless enough to stray away from the roads. If the heat wasn’t enough, rattlesnakes are another hazard. Regardless, Death Valley is still a popular tourist attraction, partly because of how dangerous it is. If you do find yourself in Death Valley, make sure you stick to the roads and take plenty of water with you to avoid dehydration and heatstroke.

Mount Everest, Nepal

Mount Everest tends to attract an extreme variety of tourists. That is, those who want to climb to the top of the world’s tallest peak.

Every year around 1,200 intrepid explorers will set off from the foot of the mountain. Unfortunately, only around half make it to the top, and some will die trying. As you scale the mountain, the conditions become increasingly severe. Low oxygen levels, freezing temperatures, and fatal falls are just a few of the things people here must be careful of.

El Caminito Del Rey, Spain

(The Royal Trail) is much more commonly referred to as the trail of death. It is indeed among the most extreme mountain trails in the world. The tracking is located in one of the most visited climbing areas in Europe, the El Chorro Gorge, which is located in the Spanish province of Malaga (Andalusia). Over time, the road was no longer used, and it began to deteriorate slowly. But when the fashion for extreme tourism came, El Caminito del Rey was remembered again. After a series of accidents on the “trail of death,” the authorities banned the route in 2001.

Devil’s Pool, Zambia

This breathtakingly beautiful natural landscape pool is located at the very edge of Victoria Falls in Zambia.

Many people risk their lives to dive into it, not just to see but to feel the waters of the Zambezi River rushing past them. They pass the last rocky barrier and fall down from a height of 120 meters. It is worth mentioning that sometimes the river takes the bravest daredevils with it, and they are hard to find later. Those who like to make hype photos for social networks are particularly at risk, seeking to stretch as far as possible over the abyss.

Cliffs of Moher, Ireland

Ireland’s natural beauty, rich history, and warm welcome help make the country a popular tourist destination. Modern cities like Dublin are rich in culture and arts, with plenty to do for visitors. However, many people come for the country’s rustic beauty rather than its rural attractions. However, as beautiful as the sheer drops are, they are also very dangerous. Many people have fallen to their death after getting too close to the edge to get a better look.

Half Dome, Yosemite National Park, California

It doesn’t get better than California’s Yosemite National Park for people who like the outdoors. Vast woodlands, stunning waterfalls, and scenic mountains are just a few of the reasons to come here.

Unfortunately, as beautiful as Mother Nature can be, she can also be very, very dangerous. Although bear attacks are rare, it’s the mountains that are more likely to lead to untimely deaths. The Half Dome peak is one of the most dangerous of all. People have fallen to their death trying to hike to the top, while climbers are also at increased risk of lightning strikes.

New Smyrna Beach, Florida

Florida’s New Smyrna Beach is a surfer’s paradise. The perfect waves attract surfers from all over the world, helped by Florida’s warm climate. Unfortunately, however, danger is lurking just beneath the waves. The waters off New Smyrna Beach are teeming with sharks. Florida is known as the world’s shark attack capital, and New Smyrna Beach is one of the most dangerous Florida locations of all. It’s also well known that sharks and surfers tend not to make a good combination.
