1. Machu Picchu
 is the most well-preserved city of the Inca empire, hidden in the Peruvian Andes high on a steep mountain with a flattened top, a location that helped it escape notice by Spanish conquistadors. It was forgotten for centuries by the outside world, and re-discovered by archeologist Hiram Bingham in 1911. The stones of this city fit together so tightly a knife blade can’t fit between them. Modern research suggests that Machu Picchu was built around 1450 CE as a retreat by and for the Inca ruler Pachacuti and that it was actually relatively small by Inca standards.

2. Mount Roraima
 is located on the triple border point between Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela. It is weird because of its shape, but is also mysterious because of the clouds that are always near the peak and the endemic fauna. The tabletop of the mountain, which is the peak actually, is considered as one of the world’s oldest geological formations. It is believed that the plateau was formed by water and winds, but the reason why some species can’t be found anywhere else remain mystery.

3.  Racetrack Playa
 in California is well known due to its sailing stones. No one knows how, but the stones there somehow manage to move from their original position, leaving a track behind them. The reasons are still unknown and are subject of research. It is supposed that the winds in the valley are “responsible” for this.

4. The Nazca Lines 

01
are sort of like ancient crop circles that are located in the middle of the Nazca Desert in Peru. The lines are believed to have been created between 400-650 AD and depict hundreds of different figures including sharks, monkeys, spiders, lizards, llamas, etc. The big question is how did the ancient Nazca people create these massive works of art without the ability of flight to see what they were creating? Some have suggested that we have underestimated ancient man and that the ancient people of the Nazca Desert had the ability to fly.  
5. The Bermuda Triangle
 Lies in the northwest of Atlantic ocean. Within this triangle there are 7 large islands and 150 smaller islands which are really just clusters of coral. 
This triangle is also known as the triangle of evil – all high-tech equipment and all navigation equipment is not working properly in this place. Often even the communication with the world outside of this triangle has a problem. No one knows why and how to prevent this.
