Eco-Arqueological Park，Mexico

墨西哥奇琴伊察

Vines cascading around the pool, pure blue water and schools of friendly catfish all combine to give Ik Kil Cenote in Chichen Itza an otherworldly quality.

葡萄藤如瀑布般倾泻在游泳池旁，清澈见底的碧蓝湖水，一群群友好的鲶鱼，让奇琴伊察的益吉天然井格外引人。

"This place offers a swim like you’re on another planet," says TripAdvisor user David T from Anaheim, Southern California. "Dive into the water like it’s your last swim in paradise. You won’t find another like it."

“在这里游泳给人感觉像是在另外一个星球上，”TripAdvisor用户、来自南加州阿纳海姆市的David T说道。“潜到水中就像是在天堂中最后一次游泳。全世界只此一处，再无其他。”

Roca Vecchia, Italy

意大利罗卡维西亚

"You have to see this place to believe it -- when I first saw the pictures I wasn’t sure it was real!" says TripAdvisor user Chaitdesh from London.

“你必须看到它才相信这样的美景。我第一次看到照片时，也不确定这是否是真的。”TripAdvisor来自伦敦的用户Chaitdesh说道。

The Grotta della Poesia is in Roca Vecchia. Sitting on the Adriatic coast, the grotto is made up of two turquoise and blue karst sinkholes."When I arrived at the natural pool my breath was taken away by its beauty," says Joan R from New York City.

“诗的洞窟”位于罗卡维西亚。该洞窟位于亚德里亚海岸，由两个蓝绿色卡斯特溶洞组成。“我来到这个天然游泳池时，这里的美景简直让人难以呼吸。”纽约市的 Joan R说道。

Las Grietas，Puerto Ayora, Ecuador

厄瓜多尔阿约拉港拉巴哥群岛

There’s the ocean water pool Las Grietas, positioned between two tall cliffs on the central island of Santa Cruz. "It was the most amazing experience I ever had," says user Belepv from Buenos Aires. "We could dive here and see the coral reef."

海水游泳池拉巴哥群岛位于圣克鲁兹中心岛两个绝壁之间。来自布宜诺斯艾利斯的Belepv说道：“这是我有生以来最棒的体验，我们可以在这里潜水，观看珊瑚礁。”

Belepv offers a tip: "Even if you can’t swim you can ask for a life vest."Visitors have to take a boat ride from the main dock on Santa Cruz to get to the creek. Veterans suggest bringing your own snorkeling gear, but you can also rent equipment in Puerto Ayora.

Belepv给出的建议是：“即使你不会游泳，也可以要个救生衣。”游客须乘坐船只才可从圣克鲁兹的码头到达这里。退伍老兵会建议携带自己的浮潜装备，你也可以在阿约拉港租赁这些设备。

Blue Lagoon，Grindavik, Iceland

冰岛葛林达维克蓝泻湖

It’s obvious why the Blue Lagoon is a hit in chilly Iceland. This naturally heated geothermal pool has a constant temperature of 40C .Even better, you don’t have to leave the water to get a drink at the Lagoon’s outdoor bar.

蓝泻湖在冰岛大受欢迎的原因非常明显。地热温泉蓝泻湖保持40摄氏度恒定温度。此外，在水中就可以在蓝泻湖户外吧尽享饮品。

Ryan B from Atlanta agrees, "Drinking beer in a geo-thermal spa? YES!" And RachelRaven from Quincy describes the experience as "like bathing on the moon."

来自亚特兰大的Ryan B说道：“在地热温泉里喝杯啤酒吗？是的。”来自昆西的RachelRaven将这种经历描述为“像在月亮上沐浴。”
