This year, the travel experts at Cheapflights.com, the online leader in finding and publishing travel deals, celebrate Mother Nature in all her glory in their Top 10 Nature Parks around the World. These parks are all ideal destinations for reveling in the majesty of Mother Earth.

Enjoy the outdoors and reconnect with the beauty and serenity of nature at these five national parks around the world where every day is a celebration of the majesty of our planet:

  • Banff National Park, Alberta Canada - Canada's first national park is one of its most breathtaking. Set amidst the Canadian Rockies, the 2,564 square-mile park attracts millions of visitors each year who come to admire the mountain scenery and all of the other natural beauty offered. Banff National Park is also home to mesmerizing, emerald-hued Lake Louise, hot springs, hundreds of miles of trails, glaciers and enough activities to keep you coming back year after year.

  • Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia - Plitvice Lakes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of Croatia's most popular tourist attractions -- with very good reason. Simply put, the park is unforgettably gorgeous. The park houses a network of 16 lakes interconnected by a series of waterfalls. The best way to explore the park is to walk or hike one of the many trails. There's also a shuttle bus that does one route around the park and, in the summer, a boat can take you from one end of the largest lake to the other. If you want to stay overnight, there are three hotels on site as well as a campground.

  • Yosemite National Park, California, United States - Yosemite National Park is a year round destination for nature lovers. Don't miss a visit to Yosemite Valley, where you'll find waterfalls, cliffs and unique rock formations, or the chance to see the Mariposa Grove of giant sequoia trees, the largest strand of giant sequoias (also known as Sierra redwoods) in Yosemite. The park is the perfect place for hiking, snowshoeing, birdwatching, camping, backpacking, swimming and even boating.

  • Torres del Paine National Park, Chile - Chile's Torres del Paine National Park is a world biosphere reserve that brims with amazing scenery. Glaciers, snow-capped mountains, lakes, forests and unique wildlife are just some of what makes this park so special and the ideal destination for avid trekkers. There are many hikes of varying lengths and difficulty as well as campground and lodges for overnight guests. Hotels can also be found in Torres del Paine for those interested in enjoying what the park has to offer without roughing it.

  • Canaima National Park, Venezuela - Located in southeastern Venezuela along the border between Guyana and Brazil, Canaima National Park is one of the largest national parks in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The park is known for its flat-topped mountain formations called "tepuis" as well as for Angel Falls, which is the highest waterfall in the world -- more than 15 times higher than Niagara Falls. Canaima National Park is also home to several species of endangered mammals including jaguars and ocelots, and it contains many plant species that aren't found anywhere else on earth.
