places you don't want to visit

[GQgeek]

I've done this before but I just stumbled onto this list. Some interesting stuff on it:

There's still some places on that list i'd like to go, just not snake island or that sewer in the pacific...

What is Door to hell doing on that list? That place is magical!

Edit: I'd switch that for the Road of Bones

 

[LabelKing]

I'd visit all of those places.

aside from the asbestos mine, chrnobyl and the snake island, I'd visit all of them. the gates to hell would actually be a place I'd like to see.

Just the thought of Snake Island scares the **** out of me!

It's been up for at liest a year.
Some interesting stuff I have to agree

I'd also like to go to the Door to Hell someday. Doesn't look bad at all if you don't fall in.

I have been to the door of hell and, I've got to be honest, was a little disappointed. It's just a firey pit, really and not a lot else. It's not very big and not really explosive.

Also, the mud volcanoes? I've seen them to, and they're not scary, not particularly pungent or poisonous. I'm not saying make a trip to Azerbaijan just to see them, but why not if you're there?

Also, I'm desperate to go to that road in Bolivia. Looks like fun...

I'll include any slums. Places where people don't have much to lose, might see my beater/travel Timex and stab me for it....

No clue but I read the news from south america on a regular basis and there's always buses going off cliffs and ****. Just recently there was a head-on collision between 2 buses in peru. Tons of casualties. It really is a regular occurrence. When you go to those countries, it's best to fly wherever you can afford it. If you can't fly everywhere, at least fly to avoid multi-day bus rides through the Andes. They are seriously hazardous. I take risks (sky diving and rock climbing), but I have always had a certain measure of control in those activities. Going off a cliff in a bus isn't an appealing end to me, personally.
