Places I Want To Go

For something a little different I thought I'd share some of the destinations that I hope to some day visit. After returning from the Galapagos, I have been very eager to travel the world. There's only the small problem of money. Oh well, enjoy browsing through these awesome places and who knows, maybe you may find your dream destination as well. (None of the pictures where taken by me)


1. Manu National Park, Peru

A vast region of unspoiled rainforest, Manu has a staggering diversity of plants and animals. The park contains an estimated 20,000 species of plants as well as 1000 species of birds, 159 species of mammals, 99 species of reptiles, 140 species of amphibians and 1307 species of butterflies!





2. Iguazu Falls, Brazil/Argentina
Listed as a possibility for one of the new seven wonders of the world, Iguazu Falls is rather impressive. Iguazu Falls is not just one fall, but is instead a series of 275 different waterfalls on a 1.67 mile stretch of the Iguazu River.

3. Fiordland National Park, New Zealand

Fiordland National Park, located in the southern part of New Zealand, is wet. Very wet. On average, parts of the park recieves almost 257 inches of rain per year! With all that rain comes an amazing diversity of plants.
