Being located in the lagoons of Venice, Poveglia Island might not turn out to be what you are expecting. Instead of being a place of beauty, this place is a smoldering bruise scintillating sea.

It later became the site for a lunatic asylum. Poveglia Island has not only earned the name of the most evil place on the planet but also one of the most haunted one. This place is banned for anyone to visit.
While other places are populated with humans, there exists an island which is home to 4,000 of the world’s deadliest snakes, the Golden Lancehead Viper. This is what waits you if you are planning to travel to Ilha de Queimada Grande, situated 32 kilometers off the coast of Sao Paolo, Brazil. Scared? Wait for this! These snakes can pluck birds flying over and kill them with a kind of venom which can even melt human flesh! This place has been banned for visit by the Brazilian Government, except for some scientists who are granted permission to study snakes on the island.
Are you among those who believe that there are no primitives left in this world of rapid urbanization? You might be mistaken!

Paris is not all about romantic dates, beautiful landscapes and the stunning Eiffel Tower. It is also about the hidden land of the dead. Yes you read it right!

You will be allowed to creep through some tunnels after buying a ticket but visiting other tunnels is illegal.
