What are the most important valleys in the world?

I love the valleys. They are an authentic natural spectacle where you can be in complete harmony with the environment: listening to the sounds of the place, breathing clean and pure air, and all while with your camera you capture the most special corners, those that make you vibrate with emotion.

As there are many and unfortunately we only have one life to visit them all, I'm going to tell you which are the most important valleys in the world. 

Incles Valley

We will start our tour by visiting the one closest to us, in Andorra. The Incles Valley, contrary to what it may seem, welcomes anyone who wants to ascend its mountains or bathe in its waters. To access there it is not necessary to have a great physical preparation, so it is a perfect place also for children who are likely to find a marmot or chamois.

Loire Valley

Located in France, it is named after the river that bathes the banks of all regions: Loire. They are blessed lands, because it is a wine-growing region. In this part of the world you can see the group of French castles, such as Saint-Brisson or Clos-Lucé, all of them built during the French Renaissance.

Porsmork Valley

If you dream of visiting and being able to bathe in a geyser ... then you cannot miss the Porsmork Valley, in Iceland. Of course, be careful because it has a very rocky soil. But the landscape is spectacular, so it is very worth it.

Great Rift Valley 

In Africa we find the Great Rift Valley, which has an extension of 4830 kilometers. It transfers the territories of various countries, from Djibouti to Mozambique. It is the place where you can go to see the five largest African animals: the lion, the leopard, the elephant, the rhinoceros and the buffalo. And not only that, but it was also the habitat of our ancestors. In fact, the first hominin fossils were found here.

King's Valley

We continue in Africa, this time in the Valley of the Kings. It is actually a necropolis that sits near Luxor. Here the pharaohs of the 1922th, 1979th and XNUMXth dynasties once rested. This is where Howard Carter discovered Tutankhamun's tomb in XNUMX, and a few decades later, in XNUMX, it was declared a World Heritage Site.

Monument Valley

Now, we take the plane and head to the southern border of Utah with Arizona, in the United States of America. In this place, it is not the plants that are the protagonists, nor are the animals, but the masterpieces of nature. Some stone sculptures designed by the wind, which began to blow millions of years ago and that to this day continues to modify their work. Surely when you go, it will be very familiar to you from having seen it in a western movie.

Yosemite valley

It is one of the most beautiful places you can find in the United States. Yosemite Valley is a Californian glacial valley surrounded by forests and mountains, which by the way are covered in white every winter. It is also considered a World Heritage Site, since 1984, because if after walking the streets of California you want something quieter ... I'm sure it won't be difficult for you to disconnect in this magnificent place.

death Valley

We continue in California, visiting a valley that is about 225 kilometers long and 8 to 24 kilometers wide. It is not suitable for those who do not tolerate temperatures too well, as mercury can easily exceed 45ºC. In fact, during the past century the unpleasant temperature of 56ºC was registered, specifically on July 7, 10. So if you dare to go, don't forget to bring water, sunscreen and a hat.

Waipi'o Valley

But if you prefer to go to a corner with a warmer climate, then let's head to Hawaii. The Waipi'o Valley (sometimes also spelled Waipio) is located in the Hamakua district, on the archipelago's big island. Covered by a typically tropical nature and bathed by crystal clear waters that invite to swim. But do not forget the umbrella, since the rains are very frequent in this area.

Danum Valley

If you are a nature lover and want to see a forest where humans have not left much of a mark, it is time to head towards Borneo, where we will end our trip. This impressive valley is located 83km southwest of Lahad Datu. In a forest reserve that covers an area of ​​440km2 live more than 250 different species of birds, beautiful clouded panthers, macaques and orangutans, Among many other animals, you can be in contact with nature like never before.
