Forests and mountains
They say that even a short, 20-minute walk in nature can be great for boosting your mental health, but these forests are so beautiful that you will definitely want to stay way longer than that.
From the gigantic redwoods of California to the towering bamboo groves of Japan, the globe is dotted with plenty of breathtakingly beautiful forests that everyone should put on their bucket list. There's something about spending time in nature that makes you feel whole. Maybe it's the unplugging from social media or simply getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but a trip to visit a green, natural space can be a wonderful way to spend a vacation.
Luckily, there are forests all over the world that can fit the bill, so no matter where your next trip is, you're likely to find a slice of nature wherever you end up.
Even though the world is full of gorgeous and unique natural wonders, we could only include a few here. Check out some of these beautiful forests from around the world.
Redwood National and State Parks, United States
There are dozens of national parks (and hundreds of national sites) across the United States, so it's hard to pick just one to visit. But Redwood National and State Parks take the cake because of their unique "residents" located in four parks in Humboldt and Del Norte counties. The tall redwood trees (some close to 350 feet) in Humboldt Redwoods State Park are part of the largest contiguous old-growth coastal redwood forest in the world. The tallest in the forest, nicknamed Hyperion, stands at nearly 380 feet tall.
Amazon Rainforest, South America
The Amazon Rainforest stretches across Brazil, Colombia, and Peru, so this is a forest that belongs to nearly half of an entire continent. As the largest rainforest on earth, the Amazon is home to more than 60,000 species of plants and over 2,500 species of animals, including 1,300 bird species. Unfortunately, deforestation, industrialization, and climate change have put the Amazon (and all the plants and animals in it) at risk of disappearing, which would be devastating to the entire planet, let alone the forest itself. Recent fires in the Amazon have raised many flags about the issue of climate change.
