The Most Dangerous Vacation Spots on Earth

Relaxing with a mojito on a golden beach isn't for everyone. Some folks need to feel their adrenalin pumping and take a few risks. Exhilarating holiday experiences don't have to be suicide missions if the traveler has a level head and plans properly. Let's explore Earth's most dangerous vacation spots!

Huayna Picchu, Peru

Yes, Huayna Picchu is connected to Machu Picchu. Huayna Picchu's is the trail that leads you to the archaeological site and is 850 feet taller than the ethereal Machu Picchu. The scary stairs do not have handrails and can leave many visitors feeling afraid of falling!

Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii

Lava can move as fast as 40 mph with toxic gases spewing into the air. If this sounds like fun to you then visit the Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii. Kilauea is the most active volcano in the world.

Running of the Bulls, Spain

In the 14th century, Spaniards walked cattle through the streets of Pamplona to streamline the process of selling them. One man decided scaring the cattle would move them faster. This less than humane sport has killed 15 people since 1910.

Dead Sea, Israel

Is the Dead Sea safe? Not if you stay in the salty water too long or have any cuts that the salt-filled water can burn. Don't cut your feet on the sharp, crystal seabed or drink the water. It can kill you.

Wulingyuan Scenic Area, China

The Wulingyuan Scenic Area is full of caves, rivers, turrets of peculiarly shaped rocks, and deep ravines. 6400-acres with 3,000+ stone pillars, many over 600 feet tall is a perfect place to feel your blood rush.

Crocosaurus Cove, Australia

In Darwin City, Australia, the second and third largest crocodiles in Australian are held in a Plexiglas enclosure. Crocosaurus Cove is a tourist attraction, but in 2011 & 2015 when the cable car stopped working four people experienced a half an hour of sheer terror.
