Sajama National Park lies in western Bolivia near the border with Chile, within the highlands of the Oruro Department. It protects a broad landscape of volcanoes, high-altitude grasslands, wetlands, volcanic formations, and native queñua forests. The park is centered on Nevado Sajama, Bolivia’s highest mountain, whose snow-covered summit rises above the surrounding Altiplano.
Giant’s Causeway is a remarkable coastal formation on the north coast of County Antrim, Northern Ireland, where roughly 40,000 interlocking basalt columns extend from the foot of the cliffs into the sea. Most columns have a distinctive polygonal shape, created as layers of molten basalt cooled and contracted. The site forms part of the Giant’s Causeway and Causeway Coast UNESCO World Heritage Site and is protected as an important geological landscape.
Holyhead, a charming port town located on the Isle of Anglesey in Wales, serves as a gateway to the stunning landscapes of North Wales and beyond. Known for its bustling ferry terminal, Holyhead connects Wales with Ireland, making it a convenient starting point for cross-border travel.
Kafue National Park is in western and central Zambia and is the country’s largest national park, covering about 22,400 square kilometers. The park takes its name from the Kafue River, which runs through the protected area and supports a wide range of wetlands, floodplains, grasslands, and woodland. Much of the park is covered by miombo woodland, while the northern Busanga Plains form extensive seasonal wetlands that become open grassland as floodwaters recede.
