Follow for the best places to add to your bucket list! After visiting every country, these are the countries at the top of our "most beautiful" list.
Ask any avid traveler about the most beautiful countries they've been to, and chances are, some of these will be near the top of their list. I thought they'd be overrated, but they truly are THAT beautiful. This list is based on our experiences, research, and suggestions from other travelers - but there are so many additional countries that could be on this list!
#7: The Maldives – The prettiest beaches we've seen, with white sand and crystal-clear water. While luxury resorts can be pricey, staying on local islands is a more affordable way to experience the country.
#6: New Zealand – Rolling valleys, cascading waterfalls, and snow-capped mountains make New Zealand feel like a slice of paradise. It’s also one of the easiest countries to road trip through!
#5: Iceland – It might be cliché, but Iceland's blue lagoons, volcanoes, glaciers, and northern lights, all within an area smaller than Colorado, are stunning.
#4: Indonesia – With over 17,500 islands, Indonesia boasts incredible diversity. From Bali to Komodo, Mount Bromo, and the orangutans of Borneo, there’s so much to explore!
#3: USA – Our own country might be a bit biased, but the natural beauty here is unmatched, from Nā Pali Coast to Yellowstone. We spent two years traveling the USA in an RV and were continually blown away by its beauty!
#2: Switzerland – Switzerland is one of the most consistently beautiful countries, with breathtaking lakes, mountains, and picturesque cities. Hiking, paragliding, and scenic trains make it a dream destination!
#1: Argentina – Argentina stole our #1 spot due to its diverse beauty, from Iguazu Falls to glaciers, mountains, and vineyards. It’s affordable, has amazing food, and is the gateway to Antarctica.
