The 10 most beautiful parks and reserves in the world -Part 2-

5 Khao Sok (Thailand)
Welcome to Jurassic Park! In the jungle scenery and karst of the first nature reserve in Thailand, it's just if you do not hear the music of the film - perhaps even believe you see the menacing figure of a T rex? This wet and oozing jungle is part of the oldest rainforest in the world: in its dense tangle of creepers lurking snakes, monkeys and tigers - where there are dinosaurs. Khao Sok is also home to the largest flower in the plant world, the Rafflesia kerrii, which can reach 80 cm in diameter. This parasitic plant has no roots or leaves and own lives inside creepers.



6 National Park Northeast Greenland (Denmark) 
In these troubled times in which we only speak of pollution and melting ice, here are a destination to see glaciers before they completely disappear from the surface of our planet. The park, the largest in the world with an area equivalent to twice the France, is a wilderness where reign polar bears and walruses masters wandering between crystalline icebergs. The small village of Ittoqqortoormiit is the unofficial entrance door of the kingdom of ice and silence. For now, visitors are limited to a few scientists and extreme adventurers (organized tours are available).

7 Iguaçu National Park (Argentina / Brazil) 
This park contains waterfalls so prized that the two countries vie is a paradise for photographers. A geological fault near the confluence of the Parana and Iguazu has created steep cliffs on which rolling down the river in a breathtaking spectacle. But the park is not just this flagship site of tourism: the subtropical forest, which offers a lush emerald green to Iguaçu Falls, home to over 450 species of birds and countless butterflies of great rarity.
