It cascades over the edge of the Auyán-Tepuí mountain, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Majestic and dominating, this natural wonder highlights the immense power of Mother Nature.

Cheddar Gorge, Somerset, England, UK Set within Somerset’s gorgeous countryside, Cheddar Gorge is one of the UK’s most unique natural landscapes. Measuring an impressive 400 feet (122m) deep and three miles long (4.8km), it's the largest gorge in England. Characterised by limestone cliffs, its steep slopes were formed around one million years ago when melting glaciers carved out the rocks during the last Ice Age. The gorge was also where Britain’s oldest complete skeleton was found.

Nā Pali Coast, Hawaii, USA We're not sure about you but we've never seen anything more incredible than the Nā Pali Coast in Hawaii. This dazzling shoreline is punctuated by razor-sharp sea cliffs, delicate winding valleys and cascading waterfalls. If the eye-catching area reminds you of another age when dinosaurs ruled the world, it's no wonder – the coast was the backdrop for sci-fi classic The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

Avenue of the Baobabs, Madagascar This row of fat-bottomed baobab trees is as bizarre and beguiling as the island’s tangerine-eyed lemurs, and probably just as frequently photographed. The Avenue of the Baobabs, on a dirt road between Morondava and Belon'i Tsiribihina in western Madagascar, is made up of majestic centuries-old trees, reaching up to 100 feet (30m).

Bruges, Belgium Bruges’ compact size and perfect prettiness can make it seem a little unreal, like a classic postcard come to life or perhaps a toy town, albeit infused with the scents of beer, frites and sweet crepes. The city is all cobbled lanes, canals, medieval spires and looping bridges. Life centres around its squares: Burg, dominated by the 14th-century Gothic Town Hall; and Markt, home to one of the city’s most famous landmarks, the medieval Belfry (bell tower).

Kirkjufell, Iceland We've all heard of Everest and Fuji, and while these peaks are mesmerising in their own ways, Kirkjufell in Iceland is altogether more ethereal. The 1,519-foot (463m) mountain can be found on the island's western coastline, an area defined by crystalline fjords, geothermal pools and dynamic waterfalls. It's the most photographed peak in all of Iceland.

Christ the Redeemer, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Whether you're religious or not, the sight of the 98-foot (30m) sculpture of Christ rising above Rio de Janeiro's magical mountainous landscape with outstretched arms can't fail to stir you. The largest Art Deco statue in the world, this world-famous monument was the brainchild of a priest in the 1850s but it wasn't built until the 1920s. Dedicated in 1931, the concrete Christ has surveyed the city from the top of the forest-clad Corcovado mountain ever since.

Hallstatt, Austria Located in Austria's mountainous Salzkammergut region, Hallstatt is the most incredible storybook town you could ever imagine. The 16th-century traditional alpine houses are perched on a narrow cliffside facing Lake Hallstatt, with dramatic mountain views in the background. Equally attractive in both summer and winter, it's one of Europe's most-photographed towns.

Five Flower Lake, Sichuan Province, China China's Jiuzhaigou Valley is on the UNESCO World Heritage list for very good reason and Five Flower Lake is perhaps its most dazzling feature. This serene lake is considered holy by many, thanks to its changing colours and the fact it doesn't freeze, even in winter. Yet the mystery behind this unique wonder can be easily explained – it's home to hot springs and the pool has aquatic plants which change colour when exposed to sunlight.

Monument Valley, Arizona and Utah, USA The Mars-like landscape of Monument Valley is one of the most famous views in the USA. Sitting astride the Utah-Arizona border, the desert area, part of the Navajo Nation, is studded with towering buttes and shard-like pinnacles. The most famous formations are the East and West Mitten Buttes, which both rise to more than 6,000 feet (1,829m).

Sagrada Família, Barcelona, Spain Still under construction, Gaudi’s most celebrated work normally draws millions of visitors to see its unfinished grandeur every year. The elaborate building’s most impressive part is its dramatic Nativity facade, which was created under the personal supervision of Gaudi himself and has thousands of intricate carvings depicting and related to the birth of Christ.

Pamukkale, Turkey The town of Pamukkale in Turkey is celebrated for its natural travertine terraces which cascade down its hillside like clouds. These 17 mineral-rich thermal pools are part of an ancient Roman spa city. The pools are formed by calcium carbonate deposits on the surface of the water and are said to have healing properties.

Las Lajas Sanctuary, Narino, Colombia The most striking feature of this Catholic church is its setting: the grey stone structure spans a forested gorge 150 feet (46m) above a river. Its story is one of miracles and determination, beginning in 1754 when a mother and daughter, sheltering from a storm, saw an image of the Virgin Mary in the rocks. According to the story, the daughter was cured of her muteness and deafness. After hearing of the miracle, a blind man spent 10 years collecting funds to build a chapel in the spot – and his sight returned. Inspired by these marvels, the vertiginous church was finally built between 1916 and 1949.

Luskentyre Sands, Isle of Harris, Scotland, UK Tucked away on the western shores of South Harris in the Outer Hebrides, Luskentyre Sands is easily one of the most untouched places in the country. With miles of pristine white sand and eye-poppingly blue waters, it's often voted the most beautiful beach in the UK. Framed by the soaring peaks of the North Harris mountain range, the beach is Scotland’s version of a tropical paradise.

White Sands National Park, New Mexico, USA Mystical and magical, the expansive desert of White Sands National Park is one of nature’s most unusual marvels. Covering 275 square miles (712sq km) inside New Mexico's Tularosa Basin, the dunes are formed from gypsum sand – a rare mineral found in only a few locations on Earth. The sand dissolves in water but luckily the state's dry climate is the perfect breeding ground for this unique and wonderful material.

Lofoten, Norway With its cliff-edge houses, deep fjords and rugged granite mountains surging out of the sea, Norway’s Lofoten archipelago is unapologetically untamed. The landscape is just as breathtaking on stormy days – when waves swirl ominously around the coastline – as it is on clear and serene days, when the sea acts as a mirror for Lofoten’s towering peaks. Pictured here is the ultra-photogenic island village of Hamnoy.
