10 of the Most Beautiful Landscapes in the World — You’ll Want to Pack Your Bags Immediately! (4 of 6)

6. Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, United States

While the Grand Canyon touches four states, including Utah, Nevada, and Colorado, the most popular and accessible state to take in this natural wonder is Arizona, the home of the Grand Canyon National Park. The canyon, the result of millions of years of erosion, rain, wind, and the mighty Colorado River, extends an amazing 227 miles (365 km) long and averages more than 10 miles (16 km) wide.

Hiking down into the canyon and spending the night below the rim is unquestionably the best way to truly appreciate its natural splendor.

7. Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, Iceland

Although there are plenty of impressive waterfalls to visit in Iceland, most will agree that Seljalandsfoss surpasses them all. This powerful waterfall has a cascade that drops 196 feet (60 meters) into a charming meadow. But the most interesting part is the path that goes behind the wall of water, allowing you the ability to walk behind it. There, you can see the falls from a very unique point of view. A word of caution though: unless you’ve made getting drenched a priority, make sure to bring along a waterproof coat and boots.
