With more than 500 million users who share pictures of the places they have visited via Instagram all year round, one might say there's nothing left unseen. Travel hobbyist and shotgun vacationers alike would surely wish to explore virgin beaches and lush rolling hills minus the hassle of competing with multitudes of tourists. Here are some of the least Instagrammed places in 2016 that might just prove to be the perfect destination for 2017.
First stop is the South Pacific paradise of Tuvalu. The island nation's long stretch of white sand beaches and turquoise waters are truly Instagram perfect. For now, the mini paradise remains less popular among the masses. But surely, with the island's captivating beauty on top of its little crime and a low terror threat, it will not be long until the world notices.
Five hours north in Hawaii, the little paradise call Kiribati literally lies in the middle of nowhere. The island republic of the Central Pacific cover a massive 1.3 million square mile area filled with majestic turquoise lagoons and no less than 33 coral islets. Tourists can discover the hidden island wonders while diving, boating, biking or by foot.
Hidden in the northeastern pockets of Africa is Djibouti which is home of sites which offer many opportunities for adventure says Intrepidtravel. With its numerous salt flats, hot springs and deserts, tourists can either go hiking, snorkeling or relieve stress while enjoying relaxing bath.
Sao Tome and Principe might just be the best destination for travelers who crave for harmony and quiet says Atlas and Boots. Africa's second-smallest country offers a laid-back vibe. Its emerald rainforests coupled by Portuguese colonial era architecture minus the tacky beachside resorts will surely help tourists find inner peace.
The Solomon Islands complete the list. The paradise consists of six islands and about a thousand more slets scattered across the Pacific Ocean. Located east of Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands is not a luxury beach destination. Instead, it boasts of authentic Melanesian experience amidst its huge lagoons, lush mangroves, and emerald forests.
