Breathtaking Honeymoon Spot 1

Recommendation: Enjoy the Magical Aurora from the Comfort of Your Bed [Glass Igloo in Finland]

In northern Finland's Lapland, there are "glass igloos" made entirely of glass. Isn't it wonderful to be able to lie back in a bed indoors while enjoying a panoramic view of dynamic nature?

Helsinki, the gateway to Finland, is surprisingly only 9.5 hours from Narita. How about extending your trip to the Arctic Circle for some aurora viewing? ♡

Breathtaking Honeymoon Spot 2

Recommendation: A "Panoramic Mirror Salt Flat" Reflecting the Sky [Rainy Season at Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia]

Did you know that Salar de Uyuni, famous for its Instagrammable spots, displays completely different appearances between the rainy and dry seasons? During the rainy season, the rainwater spreads on the lake's surface, creating a beautiful, mirror-like view.

In contrast, the dry season transforms the area into vast plains covered in white salt. The massive mirror reflecting the rainy season's sky and clouds is often compared to a scene from heaven.

Why not stay at a unique "salt hotel" in the region and seize the perfect opportunity?

Breathtaking Honeymoon Spot 4

Recommendation: Experience World-Class Power! [Victoria Falls at Zambia-Zimbabwe Border]

Are you familiar with the world's three great waterfalls? They are Niagara Falls, Iguazu Falls, and the last one is Victoria Falls. The overwhelming amount of water falling from a width of 1,708 m and a height of 108 m creates an impressive sight. If you're lucky, you might even encounter a beautiful rainbow above the waterfall!

Choose the best season with an abundance of water, mist, and roaring sounds! A helicopter tour gives you a view of the falls from a different perspective. Why not take a look at the horizon of the African landscape?

Breathtaking Honeymoon Spot 5

Recommendation: An Enigmatic "Sky City" Wrapped in Mysteries [Machu Picchu Ruins in Peru]

About 100 years after explorer Hiram Bingham's discovery, Machu Picchu, an Inca city towering at an altitude of 2,403 m, is still shrouded in mystery. Because the Inca civilization did not have written language, the purpose of this ruin remains unclear.

There are theories that it served as the last stronghold to escape Spanish invasion, but discussing such mysteries together as newlyweds could be quite enjoyable. As a popular World Heritage Site that attracts tourists from all over the globe, there's a limit of 2,500 visitors per day to preserve the site. To avoid altitude sickness, be sure to choose an itinerary that gradually increases altitude.
