But if yours are strong emotions and adventure, get ready for a trip through the most dangerous islands of the world, at the same time fascinating. In the following article we explain some of these most dangerous corners, do you dare to visit them?

The Island of Cobras

35 km away from Itanagar, on the southeast coast of Brazil, what many have dubbed as the Island of Cobras awaits you. Its real name is Isla Quemada Grande, and of paradisiac destination it has rather little. Although it could be the perfect setting to shoot an adventure movie in the style of Hollywood.

And it is that the island has the spectacular figure of 5 cobras per square meter . That is, a visit only suitable for the bravest. In spite of everything, the Brazilian island hides a nature as beautiful as it is wild and dangerous. But yes, a beauty landscape seen from the distance.

In fact, in Isla Quemada Grande lives one of the most dangerous snakes on our planet, Golden Lancehead .

An island in Venice with a dark past

Another island that we could also consider as one of the most dangerous in the world is Poveglia Island . The most daring tourists will have to go to a lagoon in Venice, in Italy, to discover a tourist destination with a lot of history. Although a story that makes the hair stand on end.

And it is that Poveglia Island is also known as the island of no return . During Roman times, the island was used to isolate the victims of the plague.

Later, during the Renaissance, the island became the place to stack the corpses that died because of the bubonic plague, which devastated Europe in the 14th century. Here, the corpses were incinerated. Even men, women and children still alive were thrown into the crematorium pyres. So, with such a past, few brave people venture into this corner of Italy.

Volcanic islands of Izu

The Izu archipelago, belonging to the Fuji-Hakine-Izu Japanese national park, consists of a set of 13 islands of volcanic origin located in southern Japan, among which, the largest is known as Izu Oshima.

At first glance, this group of islands can seem like a paradisiacal place where you can enjoy a peaceful vacation, lie down on its sand and enjoy its crystal clear waters. The reality is very different, and is that the intense volcanic activity of these islands makes their water and land have the largest concentration of sulfur in the world.

This is the reason why, in the year 1953, all its inhabitants had to be evacuated leaving it uninhabited for almost 50 years. It was not until the year 2000 when, little by little, life was returning to this island. Of course, anyone who wants to set foot on this island is obliged to wear a gas mask that protects him from being poisoned by sulfur.
