Summer is synonymous with gatherings, cocktails in hand, endless after-dinner conversations, and dreamlike sunsets in unforgettable places. Taking advantage of this occasion, we explore the unique sunsets of the world, from the sea, the desert, and the mountain. Perhaps it will inspire the destination of your next trip! And while we’re at it, if you accompany them with a Romeo y Julieta Mini full of passion, the evening will be postcard-worthy.
1. Santorini, Greece: romance with the Aegean Sea
Surely you have often seen its iconic white houses and blue domes, but this Greek island is also famous for its cinematic sunsets. Those in the town of Oia are the most popular, where every evening people from different destinations gather to admire the sun sinking into the Aegean Sea. If you want to escape the crowds, rent a boat and watch the scene from the sea to enjoy it at the highest level.
2. Uluru, Australia: the mystical red rock
Also known as Ayers Rock, it is a monolith located in the middle of the desert sacred to Australians. One of the legends is that Uluru rose from the site of a battle between two tribes over a tantalising lizard woman in response to the earth’s grief over the bloodshed. What makes this sunset special is that the sunset hours vary between 6:45 PM and 7:45 PM, tinting the mountain with its rays and leaving it in an impressive fiery red colour.
3. Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania: on the Highest Mountain in Africa
After a day of hiking, you are on the slopes of Kilimanjaro as the sun sets on the horizon, bathing the African savanna in golden and orange hues. Not every sunset offers such a profound connection with nature and the serenity of the surroundings. The silhouettes of baobab trees and the vast expanse of Kilimanjaro National Park create an unforgettable backdrop for a sunset that will leave you breathless.
Where the landscape lights up for a few minutes before giving way to the night, don’t forget to light your Cuban mini cigar.
