More beautiful beaches in Cancun Mexico!!!
Some of the most beautiful beach spots in Mexico's hidden blue treasures!!!

Tucked down in the state of Oaxaca and out on the coast is the largest ecological reserve designated by the Mexican government: 35 kilometers of coastline, with 10 bays and more than 35 beaches. Making it more unique is that while there’s a large undeveloped natural area, there’s also an infrastructure for travelers. “The beaches aren’t easy to get to,” said travel researcher Stan Plog, “but there’s beautiful scenery and a fabulous mostly private beach setting.” The local secret? Playa Arrocito. It’s a tiny, almost hidden cove on Tangolunda Bay, and you’ll have to search for the stairs down the rocky cliff. The payoff is a secluded, romantic beach.

The beaches around Playa del Carmen may be some of the most famous in Mexico, but our panelists say it’s hard to beat the sugary white sands at the Hotel Maroma. Wedged in between the Yucatan jungle and the azure Caribbean, this finger of sand is a calm oasis at the foot of a luxurious Orient-Express hotel. Adventure seekers will hear the call of the colorful corals and fish surrounding Maroma; the gentle waters make swimming and snorkeling as relaxing as lounging on the sand.

Chile has enormous tectonic plates. These plates are constantly causing constant volcanic and seismic activity. This has caused Chile to become one of the hot springs hot spots. There are around 270 thermal hot springs in Chile. The most beautiful and active region is along the Liquiñe-Ofqui Fault. Some of the springs reach 176 degrees F- hot enough to kill a person. The tourist industry has capitalized on the thermal springs, despite remote locations, and built modern amenities around them. However, for the brave, there are still many untouched springs, that are around the salt flats. Interesting enough!......Be careful........it's very hot!........but you can enjoy the healing properties it is said to have!

Niagara Falls is divided into the Horseshoe Falls and the American Falls. The Horseshoe Falls drop about 173 feet (53 m), the height of the American Falls varies between 70-100 feet (21 m) because of the presence of giant boulders at its base. The larger Horseshoe Falls are about 2,600 feet (792 m) wide, while the American Falls are 1,060 feet (323 m) wide.

The volume of water approaching the falls during peak flow season may sometimes be as much as 202,000 cubic feet per second (5,720 m³/s).Since the flow is a direct function of the Lake Erie water elevation, it typically peaks in late spring or early summer. During the summer months, 100,000 cubic feet per second (2,832 m³/s) of water actually traverses the Falls, some 90% of which goes over the Horseshoe Falls, while the balance is diverted to hydroelectric facilities. This is accomplished by employing a weir with movable gates upstream from the Horseshoe Falls. The Falls flow is further halved at night, and during the low tourist season in the winter, remains a flat 50,000 cubic feet per second The falls face directly toward the Canadian shore. Thus, the most complete views of Niagara Falls are available from the Canadian side of the river.
