but cold. Hiking the chilly waters of Sacklecancourt, an 11 mile canyon about a 40-minute drive from the coastal city of Fetting in Turkey
0:39
is not for the faint of heart. If you're taking on this hike
0:43
wear your shorts or swimsuit. I actually wanted a wetsuit on my trip through the canyon
0:49
I don't think I could hike more than like two feet in here
0:53
but in the summer in Turkey when the temperatures rise, locals plop here to Sackleton Gorge
0:59
and they hike through these frigid water. We'll see how far I get
1:05
The swiftly flowing water originates from snow melt in the Taurus Mountains
1:09
which accounts for its icy chill. Keep in mind that the water can get deep
1:14
I didn't get very far on my hike, but can definitely say my trip to Sacklicate Gorge
1:20
cooled me off. Another interesting place to cool off is Jordan's Mujib Nature Resort
1:28
Mujib Nature Reserve, where you can hike and float in the lowest nature reserve on earth
1:33
and take in views of the Dead Sea Wadi Mujib has been called Jordan Grand Canyon and it one of the most thrilling hikes I ever experienced So we headed down there Yeah we heading down
1:47
the Wadi, the canyon. So water now will be in the shape. Nice. If you're planning on hiking
1:52
here, be prepared to get wet, and I mean really wet. If you're afraid of heights, you may want
2:00
to avoid the canyon trail. It leads to a 65-foot waterfall. that you'll need to repel down
2:06
That's taller than a six-story building. My next pick for an extraordinary hiking adventure
2:17
is the Valley of the Threat of Life in the small South American country of Uruguay
2:23
This mysterious valley holds a series of stone cones that may have been created by native people
2:29
over a thousand years ago. But researchers aren't sure exactly why. The valley is sought to be sacred and hold a special energy
2:38
So I should feel some energy here. I'm sure. You're going to feel a lot of energy here
2:44
All the coals are facing the same part of the hill. In the outside, you see big stones
2:51
In the inside, you see the small ones. There's nothing between the stones
2:56
And as you can see, they have like steps. Yeah, I was wondering. It looks like a ladder
3:00
We really do not know why they do that. How many of these are in your area
3:03
are in Uruguay. Around this area, just 130. A lot of stone cones for a small country like ours
3:11
