5 Destinations Every Swimmer Should Avoid

Rivers, seas, oceans and lakes have always attracted people. Whenever we book a trip, we look for a destination closer to water. This is quite understandable – water helps us relax and restore.

3. Amazon Basin, South America
The Amazon Basin is located in South America. Swimmers know how dangerous this area is. It is not because of weather conditions, radiation or pollution. On the contrary, the waters there are clean and the number of living creatures inhibiting the basin is huge. The worst part is that some of those animals are extremely dangerous. We are now talking about the electric eel and the red-bellied piranha. Also, there is the famous anaconda and, which is even more horrible, it’s home to the Candiru. This fish is small and belongs to the catfish species. It is sometimes called the vampire fish. The fish is capable of invading the human body through openings, including the urinal tube!

4. Gulf Coast, USA
Let us introduce you another place where swimmers should not go. That’s the Gulf Coast – the most famous place where poisonous snakes can be found in abundance. The snake produces venom that kills an adult human in less than two hours. Urgent assistance is needed if the snake bites you otherwise it will all lead to death. Remember that there are plenty of water moccasins hiding in the branches above your head. These animals are great hunters and can attack you when you least expect it.
