A day at Ipanema Beach is bound to be unforgettable, but stick around until sunset and you will be gifted with one of the most incredible sights on the planet.
Sit down on the sand and watch the outline of Sugarloaf Mountain be engulfed in the bright orange rays, while the street lights come alive and Rio de Janeiro begins its nightly party.
Grand Canyon, Arizona
The majestic canyon carved by the Colorado River in the rugged Arizonan landscape is a sight that never fails to impress anyone, but the earthy hues of the canyon become even more magical at sunset. In the Grand Canyon, there is no one single place that is the best for watching the sunset, because all of them are incredible vantage points.

Uluru, Australia

Uluru is the largest monolith in the world, a reddish wonder of nature that has the lucky quality of being able to reflect the rays of the setting sun.
The whole rock is basking in the reddish light, and it throws off an almost magical aura. You can see the Australian outback at its most wonderful if you watch the sunset at Uluru.
Masai Mara, Kenya
If you ever wanted to be a character in the Lion King when you were young, the sunset in Masai Mara will surely bring back memories. Much of the park’s wildlife starts to be more active in the evening, and you can see the animals roaming the wilderness while everything is being bathed in a golden light.
