Planning a vacation is always exciting. After all, going to someplace you have never been before is just brimming with new fun and adventure for you to explore. At the same time, there are several vacation destinations that just might be a little more dangerous that you signed on for. Here is a look at the top 20 vacation destinations that just might be a little more exciting than you had planned.
20. New Zealand
New Zealand is not inherently dangerous, but visitors routinely engage in activities that put them in harms way. More than one third of the country is considered a nature conservation land, which means thrill-seekers from around the world flock to the country in order to participate in extreme sports. Unfortunately, the result is a very high number of tourists deaths in the country each year.
i competely agree with you pat.. colombia is not as bad as people assume it to be… they get thier facts from other people who have not been there and ddont konw what they are talkin about… obviously there is some sort of danger in certain parts… just like if you were to go to compton wearing a diamond necklace and a armani suit.. youd probably get robbed..but if your not a complete idiot and konw how to be carefull and on your toes.. you will have no problem traveling most of these “dangerous” areas…obviously f they are in war.. it shouldbe a no go
You’re kidding me right? Australia is in this list?? No one I know has ever been attacked by a wild animal..ugh, you’re a brainless idiot who obviously knows nothing about Australia beyond the americanised version of the supposed’outback’.
Having just spent 5 weeks in the USA, I feared for my life at the hands of your plethora of gun toting maniacs far more than I do in my country.
Wild animals..give me a break.
Gun-toting maniacs? Lol, please. The only maniac here is you! If you ran into people threatening you with guns, it must be karma cuz you sound like a really ignorant c**t. Again, you don’t like the list, then say why not, but quitting hating on the USA. It’s pathetic and played-out.
“New Zealand is not inherently dangerous,”
Are you serious?
hundreds of animals are dying of mysterious deaths on New Zealand beaches, and 1,585 foreign tourists have been murdered or killed since 2000 …

You Forgot the United States of America…
Bronx, L.A. downtown are most dangerous than 95% countries of the list..
to Oscar:
Wow, really? I so much liked LA, it felt OK there…
I would just like to take a moment out of my busy day to point out how revoltingly paranoid and misleading this article is. With the exception of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somalia, (all of which were rendered dangerous due to bombs provided for by your own tax money’s funds) there is little to no validity to anything in this article. Some facts are inaccurate while others are simply false. It is things like this that make America the self-centered, narcissistic, paranoid nation it has become known to be. This is the same neurotic, frantic and unfounded hysteria that causes us to over-medicate, over-invest, over-spend, over-work, over-eat, and over protect. Who ever wrote has probably never been to any of these places. They should only vacation in Disney Land and when they want some world view they can stop at Epcot. For the rest of us who believe there are wonderful people, places, experiences, and cultures outside of the great USA and who are willing to give up a luxury or two: Go ahead and see the world! Touch a pyramid, swim in the Nile, cliff dive into the Amazon. How many roller-coasters and jacuzzi’s will you sit in before you go out and… LIVE!
The united states is not a paranoid, narcissistic, self-centered nation. If you don’t like the list than say so but don’t be hateful toward the GREATEST nation on earth, without whom no free world would exist. If you don’t like the USA, you don’t have to be here. Trust me nobody would stop you from leaving, sweetheart.
It is Colombia and not Columbia and I don’t think it is that dangerous. Venezuela isn t located between colombia and US, it s colombia that is located between venezuela en US. The civil war in Burundi is over…still quite dangerous though.
Hey layla,
Not that I agree with Mel here, but even your stand here isn’t really something that merits much credibility! I mean girls, you’ve got to make your point without getting so agitated!
Hey layla,
I think I agre with RoboKangaroo here – only in the part about how this article is a little insensitive… not the rest. I really think we should leave the country bashing behind us.. mean there really are a thousand reasons why the USA is better than Australia and Australia is better than the USA.. that doesn’t make the other place bad – so let’s just make peace and move on!
