10 – Maceio – Brazil,

Maceió-2

  • Known to some as “murder central”, this capital of the Alagoas state sees 135 murders for each 100,000 citizens per year
  • It even tops Rio de Janeiro which is itself known for the slums and back alleyways
  • While most would assume the Amazon rainforest to be the most dangerous part of Brazil, the populated areas aren’t exactly friendly either

9 – Baghdad – Iraq,

UN Headquarters Destroyed by Truck Bomb in Baghdad

  • This one should be fairly obvious if you’re keeping up with the news – frequent bombing, gunfire and unspeakable violence
  • Most travel agents will warn you about travelling here, but if you absolutely must for a good reason, you should be aware that terrorism isn’t easy to predict
  • In 2012, Baghdad was listed as one of the least hospitable places in the world to live, with Mercer ranking it as the worst of 221 major cities when it comes to quality-of-life

8 – Huntington Ravine Headwall – New Hampshire,

  • This place was formed by glaciers over thousands of years, nowadays extremely susceptible to avalanches and icefalls
  • If you decide to go hiking up the winding trail, just bear in mind the cold weather dangers and how easy it is to lose your footing
  • One hiker actually slipped 200 feet into a boulder field suffering head injuries, but was saved by local Mountain Club members

7 – Southern Tunisia,

  • A desert land that isn’t restricted, but heavily advised against due to the threat of terrorism – you may still want to visit though, because of how iconic it is
  • Parts of Tunisia, particularly the Chott el Jerid salt flats were actually used in the Star Wars films, primarily shots for Luke Skywalker’s home of Tatooine
  • Thankfully these flats and the canyon from the sand raider attack fall just outside the exclusion zone

6 – Guatemala,

  • This among a number of other countries in Central America get hit by a series of natural disasters, including hurricanes, mudslides and earthquakes
  • In 1976, a 7.5 magnitude earthquake killed more than 23,000 people in Guatemala alone
