2. The Fish River Canyon, Namibia
The size of the Fish River Canyon alone can inspire awe. The canyon is roughly 26 kilometers (16 miles) wide and 161 kilometers (100 miles) long. It’s approximately 549 meters (1,800 feet) deep.
Local legend claims that a huge snake is responsible for all the canyon’s winding curves. Take the five-day hike from Hobas to Ai-Ais Springs. It’s best attempted from July through mid-October when it’s cooler.
3. Peek-a-boo Slot Canyon, USA
Slot canyons are narrow, steep gorges of sedimentary rock or sandstone. Peek-a-boo Slot Canyon is in Utah’s Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. You have to make a 3.7-meter (12 foot) -climb just to get to the entrance. The best time not to visit is when the weatherman predicts rain. The canyon can all too quickly fill with rushing water when it rains.
