Every week, we write about experiences travellers can have all over the world. Here are some of our favourites from this week:
Swim in the Mayan underworld at a cenote near Playa del Carmen in Mexico
Walk into the center of the earth at the Aktun Chen cavern, which means ‘cave with a sinkhole.’ National Geographic named it as one of the top 10 best underground walks of the world. A specialised guide will accompany you and enchant you with stories and legends of this mystic system of caves that dates back five million of years. Once you pass 600 metres of stunning rock formations, you’ll reach the dazzling crystal waters of a cenote. A shiny ceiling of stalactites and stalagmites will make you feel you are standing in an underground cathedral.

Visit the (other) Parthenon in Nashville
You don’t have to fly to Europe to see The Parthenon. Nashville has it’s own full-size replica and it’s actually in better shape than the one in Athens because it’s not in ruins. Why is it here? Well, once upon a time, the city was known as The Athens of the South and to commemorate the state’s centennial in 1897, the city fathers thought it would be a good idea to honour Nashville’s nickname by building a copy of one of antiquity’s most famous edifices. Today, it serves as an art gallery and a popular landmark that is worth the detour to see for yourself. While you’re there, be sure to look for the massive statue of the goddess Athena inside.

Marvel at the whimsical and bizarre Robo Lights in Palm Springs
Robo Lights is an outdoor sculpture park of giant pink robots and post-apocalyptic Christmas scenes created by artist Kenny Irwin Jr. This whimsical and bizarre attraction features thousands of recycled materials, such as car parts, mannequins, toilets and toys, that are transformed into colourful and imaginative sculptures. You can walk through the park and marvel at the creativity and eccentricity of Irwin’s vision. Robo Lights is especially spectacular at night when it is illuminated by millions of lights.
