21 Most Beautiful Places in the World to Visit in 2024

3. Cuba

As relations warm up, US citizens will have fewer restrictions on visiting, and hopefully, it will continue to change. Get a glimpse into living history and miles of undeveloped coastlines, and ride in an old Oldsmobile while you still can!

4. CHile

Northern Chile, specifically Elqui Valley, is a destination for unmatched stargazing. But as more tourists visit, the growing infrastructure will soon cause too much light pollution.

This remote island in the Pacific Ocean has been on our list for a while. As travel becomes more accessible, more people will stop here. It’s home to unique features like a lake full of jellyfish that no longer sting (at least not to where you can feel it).
