10. Pedra do Telegrafo, Brazil
Amazing deceptive photo. Looking at how a person clings to the edge of a cliff, he becomes uneasy ... after all, it seems that if his hand slips off, he will fall off and fly down ... And death is inevitable.
In fact, a ledge not far from Rio de Janeiro disconnects only one meter from the ground.
That is, if a person falls, then nothing will happen to him. However, caution never hurts, because you can easily accidentally fly down.
9. Pedra da Gavea, Brazil
Another rocky ledge in Brazil for those who like to take spectacular pictures and amaze people with them!
Pedra da Gavea is a monolithic rock in the city of Rio de Janeiro. It reaches 842 m in height above sea level!
Amazing photographs can be taken from different points of view, revealing not only the endless ocean, but also the city.
A relatively safe picture can be taken on the protruding stone. It does not seem to people who know this area that a person can fall into the ocean ... But people who have been here know that the distance to the earth does not exceed two meters.
8. Potato Chips, USA
A funny name for a rock that really looks like a chip! This miracle of nature is located on top of Mount Woodson, and the mountain itself is in California.
Looking at the pictures of the daredevils, you might think that the rock reaches the sky ... But it seems so! To the earth from the cliff, the distance is only no more than 3 meters.
This place is loved by many tourists - people come here specifically to take breathtaking photos.
Photographs, indeed, cause delight, but not so strong when we know that they were made in safe conditions.
7. Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
In South Africa, there is Victoria Falls, which is famous all over the world. Namely, it is located on the Zembezi River. This amazing natural phenomenon is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The height of the waterfall is more than 120 m, but how do people take mesmerizing pictures on the edge ?! But here's the secret - at one top point of the wonderful waterfall is a recess called the Devil's Font.
At the cliff there is a narrow partition consisting of stones. Thanks to it, the flow slows down and the flow of water cannot carry a person down.
But to create stunning photos you need a dry season, which falls from September to December.
6. Treehouse with a swing, Ecuador
You must have seen photos with swings hanging over the abyss more than once! And they caused you delight and fear at the same time (especially those who are afraid of heights). The swing is located near the Ecuadorian city of Banos.
For a long time, this swing was chosen by tourists and everyone who wants to surprise their friends with extreme photos.
2 660 m above the sea is the height at which the structure is located. The swing is tied to a small tree house.
The building hangs on the edge of one slope, and from the side it seems that a person sitting on a swing soars above the mountain peaks.
But here is the secret - from a swing to the ground, the distance does not exceed 2 meters.
5. Fludalciuve, Norway
The monolithic rock Fludalsiuve is located in the Geiranger Fjord at an altitude of 307 m - one of the most picturesque and frequently visited fjords (a narrow bay with rocky shores).
Any tourist will never pass by and will always take a photo as a keepsake. Prohibition signs and a fence do not stop people.
It is unlikely that anyone would think of holding onto the edge of a cliff and hanging, as in other cases, because there really are many meters to the ground, but taking a picture is not so difficult. The ledge itself is wide, and this allows you to freely sit down and take a photo.
4. Storseterfossen Waterfall, Norway
Among the Geiranger Fjord, one can distinguish such a wonderful attraction as the Storseterfossen waterfall.
Among many other waterfalls in the area it is distinguished by the fact that you can go over the overthrowing stream and enjoy the view from the inside. What many do!
But not so much a waterfall attracts people like a rocky ledge - because thanks to it, you can get great pictures. It is on the way to a wonderful waterfall and the distance to the earth is no more than 3 meters.
But anyone can take a picture as if a person had been on the edge of a cliff.
3. Rieten, Norway
Rithen is a mountain located on the Lofoten Islands. Its height is 543 m, the slopes of the mountains effectively stand out against the background of the Atlantic Ocean.
Everyone can make an amazing photo, because a stone ledge to the ground is shared by only one meter.
Looking at the picture, everyone will think only that, having broken, a person will fly right into the ocean ... But those who don’t know how the photo is actually taken think so.
2. Fish River Canyon, Namibia
This canyon is considered the largest in Africa. The Fish River is a canyon located in the south of Namibia, it is 160 km long, more than 26 km wide, and its depth is not less than 500 m.
The most spectacular photos are obtained if you do not pass by wide ledges. These protrusions are located at the edge of the cliff.
If you sit on one of them, then it will be no more than 60 cm to the ground. But, having correctly photographed, you can achieve an amazing effect! Everyone will think that a person has visited the edge of a cliff.
1. Canyon Itaimbezinho, Brazil
The most famous canyon of Brazil and the main attraction of the national park Aparadus da Serra.
The canyon is 720 meters deep, its length is 5800 meters, and its age is more than 130 million years!
The walls of the canyon are vertical and it seems that they were cut with a huge saw. It is possible to make interesting and spectacular photographs on the edge of the gorge with the protrusions existing there.
If you sit on them, it will seem that the person in the picture is sitting on the edge. But it is better to protect yourself and not get too close to the cliff.
