The most naturally beautiful places on earth
-
Since it sounds like at least some of the CPains are well traveled, I thought I'd take a stab in the dark and come ask here. What is the most naturally beautiful place in the world? I'm hoping to get some answers based on personal experience and not Google. In my personal opinion, Mauritius, Norway and Singapore are the most beautiful places I've visited. However I'm really looking for naturally beautiful, which kind of excludes Singapore which is an amazingly beautiful CITY. I want to plan a once in a life time trip, but I'm still not sure where I want to go... Thanks!

New Zealand. Truly incredible. Australia. Barren but amazing (and very hot) Scotland. Northern Italy (but don't drive) Any of them.

The 'Norwegian Fjords' have always been my favourite (I can hear the 'Parrot Sketch' starting already!).

Thailand. It has something for everyone. Make sure you go 'oop north, to Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai - and take the long route - some of the scenery on the way is amazing. :cool:

Well the 1 vote wasn't mine. I'd have voted you a 5 just for being honest :)

I can't speak to the most beautiful spot in the world, but I've seen some pretty nice places. :) I personally have a soft spot for the islands in the Caribbean. If you want pristine views, you might also check out the national parks in the western US or Alaska - many of the parks are absolutely immense and have virtually no development as far as the eye can see.

I may be slightly biased ;) but I think British Columbia is by far the most varied, scienic place on the planet. I haven't taken the Rocky Mountaineer [^]train, but it comes through the city I live in and I've heard nothing but good things (also noted by National Geographic as "One of the world's greatest trips". Cheers, Drew.

Northern Italy (but don't drive)
From what I've heard about driving in Italy.
Uh huh. The first time I went, I got a clue from the first traffic light. Normal green - check. Normal amber - check. Really huge, massive, you-can't-miss-or-ignore-me red - check. I stopped when it was red. Big mistake, nobody stops at a red light. For some reason they all seem to drive assuming that everyone else will give way in defference to their sublime driving skill. It's like the entire country is joy-riding. And don't mention parking...

I'll second Drew's suggestion of British Columbia :-) From the Rockies (e.g. Lake Louise[^]), through Vancouver (OK, it is a city) to Vancouver Island. I spent three weeks touring BC in 1997 and I still remember it so vividly (more vividly than my photos came out, though, unfortunately :-(). Another naturally beautiful place is Yosemite[^].
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p
