For a travel agent, there is no more grateful tourist than one who wants to "see something exotic." Exotic - concept for northern man almost all-encompassing. This does not include except the “snowy” countries with painfully familiar winter landscapes, decorous Europe and the settled, albeit once exotic, “souths” - Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia and similar states with a focus on mass beach tourism. Otherwise, the choice is huge: South America and the Caribbean, secluded islands in the heart of the ocean - whether you want the Pacific, you want, Indian or Atlantic, motley Africa and mysterious Southeast Asia, original Australia - in a word, a good hundred countries on four continents and in their surroundings.

Why exoticism is attractive in today's globalized world with common currencies and united visa regimes- so it is isolation, isolation and unusualness. Agree, it's one thing to go to Italy: opera houses, museums, sculptures, cobbled streets and high-rise buildings - almost like St. Petersburg, only with a southern slope. And it’s quite another to visit Japan: the “wand” ritual, the rules of politeness, which only a genius can remember, the tea ceremony and rock gardens - everything surprises, fascinates and makes you look again and again. Or, say, to enter under the arches of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, of course, exciting - but a visit to the conical huts of the Dogon gives a much more amazing feeling, evoking subconscious memories of unknown civilizations past, who knows, maybe even some aliens from Sirius!

Chinese tea ceremony

If we try to divide the exotic into categories, then we will face the exotic natural and, so to speak, “human”. The first includes landscapes that are unusual for the Russian eye - whether it is the foggy mountains of Rwenzori in Rwanda or the Kilimanjaro bowl, the rock giants of the islands of Thailand thrown into the ocean as if by a careless divine hand, or sandy expanses escaping beyond the horizon, the Uluru monolith burning in sunset lights or the formidable Victoria Falls. Exotic "human" is amazing for us traditions, culture and rules of conduct. What is worth, for example, a visit to the performance of the traditional Indonesian shadow theater wayang-kulit: the shadows of the heroes of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata moving on the illuminated canvas, the audience frozen in the face of the sacrament - and this is throughout the endless starry southern night. Or a visit to the festival of the Berbes peoples in Tunisian Duza: a game of traditional checkers (the ornate rules of which are easily plugged into the belt by the popular mahjong), camel marathon races and authentic wedding processions with the bride inside a palanquin swaying measuredly on the back of a dromedary.

What is exotic in the modern globalized world with common currencies and unified visa regimes attractive is its isolation, isolation and unusualness.

Exotic voyages will give a lot to a sensitive traveler. First of all, of course, admiration for the diversity of the world, in which, at times, so strikingly different cultures coexist. At the same time, a rare understanding of the uniqueness of native traditions comes - and pride in belonging to them. And finally, there are hardly any who would argue with the fact that, admiring the diversity of landscapes and peoples, one invariably comes to realize the unity of everything and everything.

X wants to rest to the fullest. Break away from reality. Change the environment, so much so that you feel like a completely different person. I want the unknown and the unusual. In a word, exotic. Let's go for new positive impressions. In search of the beauties of nature, before which everything else pales. For food tasting exotic cuisine. On vacation in one of the exotic places in the world - choose TOP 10.

10. Sicily

Island in the Mediterranean. One of the most interesting and pristinely beautiful islands. bizarre rocks, countless bays and coves, majestic mountain scenery, velvety sandy, immersed in the greenery of orange and olive groves of the valley. This is all Sicily. And also - the highest of the volcanoes in Europe, which is currently active - the mysterious Etna.

9. Iceland

The biggest in the world volcanic island. Land of Ice and Fire. The climate is cold, maritime and humid. Volcanic activity is widespread and intense. Glaciation is global. The Vatnajökull glacier is the largest in Europe, with a length of 8 km². Directly below it are several “sleeping” and “dormant” volcanoes. For example, the Grimsvotn volcano, which “waked up” quite recently in 2011. Then the smoke rose to 15 kilometers and the "sky" over the country had to be "closed" for flights.

And at the foot of the second largest Icelandic glacier - Langjökull - "hidden" the valley of geysers Haukadalur, amazing.

8. Mauritania

Edge of the Sahara. Here is a geological formation, stunning in its beauty and "cosmic" origin. Guell Er Richat - "Eye of the Sahara". 50 kilometers in diameter. It remains only to speculate about its nature. Huge meteorite? Dormant volcano? Or, after all, alien guests?

7. Denmark

Speaking of the most exotic places in the world, one cannot fail to mention another "alien" landscape. The real "Martian Chronicles" of the Danish city of Skagen. Picturesque. Fantastic. Soothing. A little creepy. And it doesn’t fit at all into the usual European perception of the picture of one of the richest and most developed modern countries. sand dunes. Desert shores. Mysterious mystery and a halo of something unearthly.

6. Bolivia

The most famous and largest on the planet salt lake- Uyuni Salt Flats. Southwestern Bolivia looks, thanks to him, like a distant uninhabited planet. Salty desert. Surrounded by giant cacti, marvelous texture volcanoes and rushing geysers. It seems that these are man-made works of fantastic creatures, created specifically for our shock.

5. Turkmenistan

Unexpectedly for this former Soviet republic - the "Door to the Underworld" (or, if you like, the "Gates of Hell") - is located here. Darvaz - a huge gas crater - one of the most exotic places in Turkmenistan. Diameter - 60 meters. Depth - 20 meters. The gas that fills the crater has been burning ever since geologists set it on fire (in order to eliminate the accumulation of harmful substances in this way). It was in 1971. And this exotic place is man-made, thanks to unlucky Soviet geologists, more than anyone else. But that doesn't make it any less exotic.

4. USA

Arizona-Utah border. Between the two states - another "Martian corner" - unearthly red canyons - a frame. About 700 of natural canyons flooded here during the creation of the Powell reservoir - the second largest in the United States (30 m³ of water). The water is always calm. The canyons are majestic. The feeling is eerie and absolutely unearthly.

Ibid, Colorado Plateau, between Arizona and Utah. And its main sand formation is the Arizona Wave. Interestingly, these sand "waves" were formed in the Jurassic period from the Navajo sandstone, that is, "only" 190 million years ago.

The landscape was shaped by the erosion of sandstone under the influence of winds and rains. Looks impressive.

3. Mexico

Another the most unique place on the ground - Cave of crystals. It is full of crystals, among which the largest in the world - 11 meters in size. These giants were formed over thousands of years as a result of the unique microclimatic conditions of the cave. The "climate" of the cave is quite hot - all year round the air temperature here is + 58 ° С.
