Amazing visited country in the world

1. The Blue Lagoon, Iceland

Iceland is no doubt one of the hottest new travel destinations, with interest increasing exponentially over the past few years. The number one destination in Iceland is The Blue Lagoon. In 2017, it had a record number of visitors totaling 1.2 million. The Blue Lagoon is a natural, geothermal spa sunken into a lava field and is known for its mineral-rich healing waters. Families book with care, as children under 2 are not allowed in the pools — children between the ages of 2 and 8 are required to wear arm floaties.

2. Machu Picchu, Peru

Tourists are quickly taking note of South America as they look for lesser-known, undiscovered places in the world. Machu Picchu is one of the most recognizable icons of the continent and its tourism numbers reflect it. After receiving over 1 million visitors in 2016, tourism officials decided to cut back on the entrance allowance in efforts to save the precious ruins from crumbling.
