TO REACH some of the world’s most incredible places we often have to take ourselves to some dizzying heights, along some precarious trails and push ourselves through physical pain.
According to Travel + Leisure these are the world’s scariest stairs, whose stomach dropping paths lead you to natural wonders, ancient sites and breathtaking views.
Angkor Wat Temple stairs, Cambodia
Legend has it that the steps were made so steep so that people would be reminded that heaven was hard to reach.
The Verrückt, Kansas City, Kansas
There are 264 steps to the top of the world’s tallest waterslide and that’s not the worst of it. Once you’re at the top, there is a vertical 15 metre drop before it finally deposits you safely in the pool below.
Pailon del Diablo Waterfall, Ecuador
Translated to the Devil’s Cauldron in English, this staircase sits adjacent to the waterfall and its smooth stone surfaces are often extremely slippery from the surrounding water spray.
