Indiebound | B&N | Amazon | Workman
Talk about a bucket list: here are natural wonders—the dazzling glowworm caves in New Zealand, or a baobob tree in South Africa that’s so large it has a pub inside where 15 people can drink comfortably. Architectural marvels, including the M.C. Escher-like stepwells in India. Mind-boggling events, like the Baby Jumping Festival in Spain, where men dressed as devils literally vault over rows of squirming infants.
Atlas Obscura celebrates over 700 of the strangest and most curious places in the world, and is as appealing to the armchair traveler as the die-hard adventurer.
