In the modern world, almost everything revolves around money. Even the relationship between some people is tied to crisp bills. But there are still places where the number of zeros in a bank account means nothing. You can get there only at certain hours, or even impossible.
We offer a selection of places closed to travel.
Boracay
Boracay is a small tropical island in the central part of the Philippine archipelago. It is considered one of the most beautiful islands in the world. Boracay is famous for its white beaches with fine sand, exotic nature, natural caves and azure waters, in which dozens of coral species live. In particular, unique blue corals and colorful fish live there.
Tourists fell in love with this piece of land so much that quite recently it had to be closed due to environmental degradation. After the discovery of the island, local authorities plan to introduce strict laws to preserve nature.

Lasko
Lascaux is a small cave in France, famous for cave paintings from the Paleolithic times. Four schoolchildren discovered it quite by accident. In September 1940, they found a cave passage near the river. Shortly before their arrival, there was a thunderstorm, lightning struck a pine tree - the trunk pierced a hole into the cave.
The walls of the cave are covered with amazing drawings of people and animals. Life-size images are painted with ocher, soot and megalith, outlined in dark outlines. To take a look at this, thousands of tourists descended here every day. Soon, mass visits led to the fact that, due to the heat and humidity, the drawings began to deteriorate. In 1963, the cave was closed. Now only a copy is available to tourists.
Fox and Franz Joseph glaciers
The Fox and Franz Joseph Glaciers are located on the west coast of South Island in New Zealand. As a rule, most glaciers are located in the distance, closer to the mountains; Fox and Franz Joseph, on the contrary, descend almost to sea level. On the hiking trails leading to the foot of the glaciers, you can see traces of their millennial movement.
Travelers are drawn here like a magnet. However, due to the abundant melting of glaciers, the New Zealand government has banned visits. Despite this, about a million tourists still make their way to the glaciers to see the natural wonder.
Stonehenge
Stonehenge is an ancient megalith steeped in secrets and legends, located in the south of England. Consists of 30 roughly hewn large pillars and stone slabs stacked on top of each other.
Stonehenge is one of the most mysterious places on the planet. Scientists are still arguing about its purpose. Some are sure that this is a temple of the Druids, the second is an astronomical observatory, and still others are a tomb. And the legends generally say that it was here that the Atlanteans and the famous wizard Merlin performed their rituals. Many tourists would like to see this wonder of the world, but due to the fact that earlier travelers chipped off pieces "for memory", access here was limited.
Ise shrine
In mysterious Japan there is the main Shrine of Shinto - the Ise Temple. The entrance there is closed to absolutely everyone, except for members of the imperial family and senior clergy. Ise's territory is fenced with four fences at once. Travelers can only see the roof of the temple. Meanwhile, the sanctuary consists of two complexes, the first is dedicated to the progenitor of the imperial family (goddess Amaterasu), the second - to the goddess of food Toyouke.
