Tepuis, Venezuela​

These imposing rock formations are a must-visit in Venezuela. But it's not just their remoteness and the fact that they're difficult to climb that make them one of the last unexplored places in South America.

Tepuis, Venezuela​

The mystery lies inside. Tepuis have complex caves and crevice systems that have been isolated from the outside world for centuries. A very small percentage has been explored.

Mariana Trench, Pacific Ocean​

Several expeditions have been made since it was first discovered in 1951. One in 2014 was turned into a documentary called 'Deepsea Challenge.' Still, this remains one of the most remote, unexplored areas of our planet.
