Below are 10 solo travel destinations that you probably didn’t expect to be awesome for solo female travelers in particular, whether for their women-oriented businesses or for their safety, solitude, spirituality, or sociability: 1.

Machu Picchu Located in southern  Peru , this ruined city lies on top of a mountain that’s only accessible by train or  a four-day trek . Rediscovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911, it was an important cultural center for the Inca civilization but was abandoned when the Spanish invaded the region.

We're taught terrible tales of haunted houses and places from fairy tales at an early age. But if our appetite for horror films is anything to go by, we love a good fright. And when it comes to travel, a lot of us still want to go and have an eerie experience for ourselves. So we asked 5,000 people* which of the following "scary" places they'd most like to visit in the world. And our spooky survey said... 1. England's most haunted village, Pluckley There are some places you might want to stay indoors with the curtains shut. And this is especially true in  Pluckley ,  England's most haunted village. This place is more haunted than Hogwarts, with  12 "official" ghosts  in residence - including a Highwayman and a Red Lady. 2. The Island of Dolls, Mexico Island of the Dolls.
