Yosemite National Park, USA: Surrounded by snow capped peaks, crystal clear lakes, and lush green wilderness, Yosemite is one of the most beautiful national parks in North America. 2. Rapa Nui National Park, Chile: Known for the huge stone statues that litter its hilly landscape, Easter Island is home to one of the most interesting national parks you’ll ever visit. 3. Tulum National Park, Mexico: Strewn along the beaches of this tropical paradise are amazing and somewhat spooky Mayan ruins. 4. Arenal Volcano National Park, Costa Rica: With lava, jungles, and hidden lakes there’s not much here that doesn’t scream paradise! 5. Iguazu National Park, Argentina/Brazil: It’s not the highest waterfall in the world but the surrounding walkways make it one of most tourist friendly. 6. Banff National Park, Canada: Known as the crown jewel of the Canadian Rockies it won’t take long for you to figure out why! 7. Pantanal Matogrossense, Brazil: The world’s largest wetland and second largest ecosystem (outside of the Amazon) is a great place to see the diversity of wildlife that calls Brazil home. 8. Yellowstone National Park, USA: Yellowstone is actually the world’s first national park (legally speaking), and it is also North America’s largest volcanic area. 9. Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina: There’s a reason it’s called Glacier National Park…just look at all those glaciers! 10. Kilimanjaro National Park, Tanzania: The highest mountain in Africa is surrounded by some of the most amazing wildlife viewing in the world. 11.

Namib-Naukluft National Park, Namibia: Just in case you were wondering that is a tree in the corner with sand dunes behind it. Yes, sand dunes. 15. Torres del Paine National Park, Chile: Dominated by the peaks that the park was named after, to see the peaks through the fogginess of typical Patagonian weather can be quite surreal. 16. Jasper National Park, Canada: The wildlife and scenery within the boundaries of this park will probably convince you that the Rocky Mountains are the greatest place on Earth. 17.
