Nature has created some amazing spectacles to enjoy. Here are just seven of the best natural wonders of the world.

1. Grand Canyon - Arizona

Escape the frenetic pace of life and experience a truly timeless treasure. More than a mile deep at its peak, the Grand Canyon will fill the most seasoned traveler with awe. Just hours from the lights of Phoenix and Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon has plenty to offer.

Enjoy spectacular views from the Rim; hike deep in the canyon and take a ride on the rapids of the Colorado River. Travel first class on your helicopter or train tour, watching as the sunlight dances over the Canyon creating a palette of red, purple and gold.

See for yourself nature's dazzling work of art, and discover why it is called a Wonder of the World.

2. Great Barrier Reef - Australia

In a continent with a myriad of natural treasures, it may seem hard to pick a star. Until you discover Australia's turquoise jewel. The Great Barrier Reef offers the ultimate in luxury, adventure and beauty.

Whether you're watching sea turtles hatch on the beaches of Lady Elliot Island, sailing on a chartered yacht or sunbathing on Whitehaven Beach, it is the colours of the Reef that will leave the greatest impression. You'll be enchanted by the changing hues of the ocean and the spectacular tropical fish and coral.

Begin in vibrant Cairns. Spot celebrities in Port Douglas. Experience the hedonism of Airlie Beach. Be pampered on Lizard Island. Wherever you end up, the Great Barrier Reef will leave you enchanted.

3. Mount Everest- Nepal

Whether you're looking for the peace of Buddhist monasteries, or the thrill of the climb, Mount Everest is what dreams are made of. Snow capped peaks, icy waterfalls and incredible rhododendron forests make it one of the world's great Natural Wonders.

Wander around Lukla and Namche Bazaar, meet friendly locals and enjoy a taste of Sherpa life. Acclimatize in the highest hotel in the world, the luxurious Everest View Hotel. On your way to Base Camp, stop at Tyangboche, the ancient monastery and receive a blessing from Buddhist monks.

If you're looking for adventure, a trek to the top of the world is an experience you'll never forget.

4. Aurora Borealis - Alaska And Canada

Perhaps the most whimsical of nature's wonders, the Aurora Borealis must be seen to be believed. Alaska and Canada's cold winter nights entice the lights out to play.

On the edge of the Arctic wilderness, the clear skies above Fairbanks, Alaska offer one of the best locations in the world to see Aurora. Relax in natural hot springs, visit ice museums and ride dog sled during the days. When the sun sets, sit back and watch nature's light show from your heated cabin.

In Canada's Yukon, enjoy snow fishing, canoeing and snowmobiling. At nightfall, witness magenta, green and purple ribbons of light dance across the sky.

Wherever you are, your first glimpse of these shimmering curtains of light is sure to leave you spellbound.

5. Victoria Falls - Zambia

On the Zambizi river, between Zambia and Zimbabwe stands the largest curtain of water in the world.

The undisputed adventure capital of Africa, a visit to this region offers a wide selection of experiences. White water rapids, bungee jumping and a world-class game reserve provide an exhilarating adventure holiday. Luxury river cruises and the legendary 'Flight of Angels' helicopter flight offer spectacular views of the falls.

When Dr Livingston first spotted Victoria Falls, he declared them 'so lovely' that they 'must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight'. One visit and you'll see just what he meant.

6. Amazon Rainforest - South America

A must for any world traveler, is a trip to the Amazon Rainforest. This natural wonder seems to boast not only the purest air on the planet, but also a thousand shades of green. Leave the world behind as you see some of the most incredible birds, plants and wildlife in their natural habitat.

The life force of the Amazon Rainforest is its river, the second largest in the world. Experience it close up as you take a river cruise along the Amazon, from Peru's Iquitos to its capital in Brazil, Manaus. From luxury hotels and treetop lodges, to hidden villages and lazy houseboats, the Amazon has something to suit any holiday experience you seek.

7. Cappadocia - Turkey

Nestled in the centre of Turkey is Cappadocia, a most unique natural wonder. Volcanic ash, wind and water, have created an astonishing landscape. Ethereal Fairy Chimneys and homes carved out of rock will amaze you.

Stay in luxury cave hotels and explore the underground city of Derinkuyu. The ancient painted frescoes in Goreme's Open Air Museum will enthrall you. A sunrise hot air balloon ride shows the region at its magnificent best. Rummage through the pottery town of Avanos, or visit the Natural Rock Citadel, the tallest point of Cappadocia.

Touch a piece of history and marvel at nature's miracle, Cappadocia is the experience of a lifetime.
