3. Córdoba, Argentina

secret

The natives love this place, but many foreign travelers overlook progressive Córdoba. Here you will find art and culture, colonial-era architecture, and a distinctive restaurant scene in the hip Güemes neighborhood. The popular Sierras de Córdoba mountain range is a great place for horseback riding.

You can go birdwatching at Mar Chiquita. It’s one of South America’s largest lakes. There’s also paragliding, hang-gliding, pre-Columbian petroglyphs, and the historic Jesuit estancias.

4.The Hsinbyume Pagoda, Burma

People who visit Mandalay often check out the temples. The all-white Hsinbyume Pagoda, a.k.a. Mya Thein Tan (100,000 emeralds), found on the western portion of the Irrawaddy is a true hidden gem. You can see it as part of a river cruise or take the morning ferry from Mandalay to the Mingun jetty. The temple has seven different terraces and secret statues in hidden niches.
