7. Haiku Stairs, Hawaii
   Explore this garden of earthly delights for a whole day. After all, there are about 3,000 steps (but it feels more like 6600) that lead you up the mountain and back down again.

Consider carrying a towel from a near-by store since you will sweat profusely!

Just from a look at a map of New York City, it's obvious that the variety of landscapes is astonishing. There are beaches close by the Hudson River; Central Park is one of America's largest urban green spaces; around Harlem's waterfalls lies some of the city's most intriguing architecture; Coney Island boasts an oceanfront boardwalk and amusement park rides--just to name a few!

9. New York City, USA
   New York City is one of those places that people tend to think is not a natural place but it is, it's just much less densely covered by forests and other vegetation. The large scale agriculture that feeds the country grows here, so there are fields and parks everywhere you go. There are many smaller green spaces throughout all five boroughs, too. In Manhattan you'll find Trinity Churchyard Park right next door to Saint Paul's Chapel, where an American oak tree was planted in 1766. On Governor's Island you can explore Golden Hill, Fort Jay or Castle Williams - a Civil War-era fortification with sweeping views of New York Harbor.

10. Torres del Paine National Park, Chile
    Torres del Paine National Park is one of Chile's most popular national parks, renowned for its breathtaking glaciers and deep, serene lakes. It was created by decree in 1959, originally with a boundary of 12.4 km2 which extended over three regions: Magallanes y la Antártica Chilena (former), Aysén (current) and Última Esperanza. The park's original vegetation consisted mainly of forests, but after forest fires it has changed dramatically. What is left are mainly shrubs, woods and few plants. There are abundant tree ferns as well as many types of lichens, mosses and fungi due to the humid climate at certain elevations of this rainforest.
