The 5 Most Dangerous Tourist Destinations in The World! || ప్రపంచంలో 5 భయంకరమైన పర్యాటక ప్రదేశాలు || With Subtitles/CC
Among the things most people wish they could do more is travelling. A break from one’s usual habitat and routine is sometimes all it takes to snap out of a funk. Sadly, travel is, in many cases, obscenely expensive, with plane ticket prices forever rising, and hotel and food expenses inflating in similar fashion. Moving back to our original statement, while getting out of one’s usual routine and habitat may be an amazing rush, it can never be done without some consideration and can be dangerous, and in extreme cases; deadly.
We all hear the stories, people go away on vacation and end up getting robbed, beaten up or in extreme cases, killed. In some cases it is sheer bad luck that causes their demise but other times, a lapse in judgement leads to tragedy. While some locales are forgiving, there are plenty that simply don’t leave any room for error. Those are the ones we are speaking of here; the most dangerous destinations in the world. Whether it is violence and crime relating to poverty, xenophobia (hatred of foreigners), or even drug related conflict, there are some beautiful, interesting parts of the world that can be hazardous for travelers.
This is our list of the ten most dangerous tourist destinations in the world. There has been some attention paid to make sure this list includes only those areas that actually attract tourists, rather than just dangerous areas. While Baghdad, Mogadishu and Kabul are probably some of the most dangerous places on Earth, you don’t see Hawaiian shirt wearing, camera-toting, rest-and-relaxation-seekers lined up to visit these places. These are the dream vacation destinations most likely to leave you hurt, broke or dead.
Peru
We start our list off with the South American country known for one of the most beautiful attractions in the world; Machu Picchu. Peru’s most popular tourist attraction is also one of the only parts of the country that is actually safe. Machu Micchu is secured, for the most part, but only because of the massive money it brings in year after year. With regard to the rest of the country, especially travel routes and rural areas, there are both terrorist groups and drug trafficking cartels that threaten tourist safety.
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
Don’t misread this as “Rio is a death trap”, because it is not. The city used to be a complete hazard across the board, but police presence and police competence have both increased vastly since the 1990’s and early 2000’s. Unfortunately, Rio De Janeiro is still a place in which plenty of people are robbed every year. On top of robbery, those who are brave/ curious/silly enough to try exploring Rio’s slums (favelas) may be opening themselves up to robbery, mugging and even threats of kidnapping and murder. Going to these areas is still considered a tourist attraction, and while it is generally much safer to do so with a trained guide in a group, favela tours can present risks to foreigners. In short, Rio is a beautiful place with lots to do, but keep your wits about you and practice caution and common sense at all times.
