Our planet is an amazing place, and there are still parts of the world that are home to secrets and dangers, where myths and reality are one. The Javari Valley in South America is considered one of the most densely populated areas in the world. The Javari Valley is a wilderness refuge for indigenous tribes deep in the Brazilian Jungle. There, rainforest tribes live in total isolation. The valley is supposed to be off limits, but it has become a hot zone for cartels.
From Cartels to pirates. The Somalia Piracy Zone is one area you wouldn’t want to find yourself in. Although the Pirates that roamed the New World are long gone, modern-day Pirates are real, and the most dangerous are those from Somalia. In fact, they are as dangerous in 2023 as they were in the 17th century. To get an idea of how big of a deal piracy is in the modern world, in 2010, piracy in the western India ocean resulted in approximately seven billion dollars of lost profits, But forbidden valleys and the Somalia piracy zone are just a few of the many forbidden and dangerous places on our planet. Check out this video, which lists another couple of interesting zones.
