5 Places On Earth You Are Not Allowed To Visit



We love exploring, What happens when we are told that we cannot visit a certain place? The first thing that pops up in our mind would be why not, this is a free country and I can go wherever I want.

But there are places which are too dangerous or too protected. These mysterious places are completely cut off from the outside world.

Don’t go poking around you may get into trouble as some of these places are hazardous to health or come under the strict jurisdiction of the state.


No.1 Snake Island



Originally called Ilha da Queimada Grande and more commonly known as the Snake Island, located on the Brazilian coastline is a 43-hectare island.

This island is known to be home to the deadliest snake, Golden Lancehead, on earth. Scientists have estimated that up to 4000 snakes live on this island.

The venom of these vipers is three times stronger than any mainland snake. The venom is rumored to cut through flesh.

The Brazilian government has banned civilians from entering this island but few scientists are permitted to study this poisonous variety of the snakes.

No.2 Lascaux Caves, France



Home to one of the history’s most important Paleolithic cave paintings are the Lascaux Caves. These complex caves are situated in Northwestern France and listed in UNESCO World Heritage Site.


The paintings found in these caves are believed to be 17,000 years old. The animals in the paintings are proven to exist in that part of France through fossil excavation.

In 2008, there was a fungal breakout and the paintings were endangered. Since then, only handful of scientists are allowed to study these paintings for just a few days.



No.3 Vatican Secret Archives



Vatican secret archives are of great importance as it contains various historic documents, state papers, papal account books and other official correspondence with the pope.

These documents can be traced back to the eighth century. Items include letters from Michelangelo, a letter from Mary Queen of Scots written while she was awaiting her execution, and King Henry VIII’s request for a marriage annulment.

All these documents are the official property of the current pope and are estimated to be spread over 52 miles and have 35000 items.

The secret archives are managed by a small staff and access is strictly limited to qualified scholars after rigorous paperwork. Pope Leo XIII was the first one to open the archives to outsiders in 1881.
