National Parks protect the greatest spectacles of the natural world. There are now over 4,000 of these protected areas worldwide, preserving the world's most spectacular wildlife, some of the most interesting geological formations and, in some cases, important manmade structures. This large collection of national parks spans every corner of the globe and every imaginable setting from the mountainous peaks of the Himalayas to the coastal rainforests of Costa Rica. On this journey, we'll explore 30 of the greatest national parks in the world and what makes them so captivating.
