Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela is the place on Earth that receives the most lightning strikes.
Massive thunderstorms occur on 140-160 nights per year with an average of 28 lightning strikes per minute lasting up to 10 hours at a time. That’s as many as 40,000 lightning strikes in one night!
Few experiences offer the thrill, serenity, and immersion in nature that a scenic hike provides. Whether trekking through alpine meadows, scaling volcanic craters, or walking along coastal cliffs, hiking offers an intimate way to experience the planet's most awe-inspiring landscapes.
