Do you know where these five places are in the world? We have given a few clues and the answers are at the bottom.
#1 Even though two thirds of the rock's height is below ground, the exposed vertical face is over 200 meters high. Visitors can scale the rock via a staircase built into one side, a path that includes more than 649 steps to the top.
#2 This is the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall, with a height of 979 m (3,212 ft) and a plunge of 807 m (2,648 ft). The falls are named after a US aviator, who was the first person to fly over the falls. His ashes were scattered over the falls after he died in 1960.
#3 This city, which at 28 metres (92 ft) below sea level, is the lowest lying national capital in the world and also the largest city in the world located below sea level.
#4 This place is a hiking trail in the winter but when the snow melts in early summer it creates a crystal clear lake and covers trails, benches and bridges.
#5 This place gets it's name from a sombrero-shaped, 18m (60 ft) wide by 3.7m (12 ft) thick, rock outcropping on the edge of town. The structure has two rock climbing routes ascending it.
