Savage Jungle: Island with 100 foot waterfall

Nestled in the world-famed but untamed Patagonia region of Chile’s rugged south, Savage Jungle (Jungla Salvaje in Spanish) is an incredibly unique property and one that its current owner searched for some two years and 30 countries before finally finding. A man on a mission searching for a needle in a haystack; said owner had keenly wanted to discover a locale that might allow construction of a top-end luxury resort icon as spectacular as Frank Lloyd Wright’s tour de force, Fallingwater, in southwestern Pennsylvania.

Chumbe Island: Tanzania’s Stunning Coral Park Reserve

Fringing coral reefs that shelter some 400 species of fish caress the spice islands of Zanzibar, inspiring travelers to make the 25-mile trip off the East African coast to this semi-autonomous region of Tanzania. It’s one of the world’s great underwater destinations, yet before the mid 1990s, there was no legislation in place to protect its marine life.
