Tree tunnels are true mirrors to our soul, connecting our body to the spirit.

If you want to explore, take great pictures or just simply stare at their unimaginable and clean splendor, make the time and visit as most as you can from all those found underneath these lines.

2. Jacarandas Walk, South Africa

It is a saying from where I come, that the man is the one who blesses the place. This can be said about Jacarandas Walk in South Africa, found inside one of the largest man-made forests of the world, in Johannesburg, South Africa’s largest city. It is home to almost seventy thousands trees. It is more than a tourist attraction, it’s a gentle whisper to your soul, hear it and treat yourself to it.

Tunnel of Love, Ukraine. The train still runs this track a couple of times a week.
