An estimated 20,000 people descended on the town of Sutamarchan, in the state of Boyaca, to take part in this, the 10th tomato-throwing festival. Every spring locals are joined by tourists from far and wide to throw spoiled fruit at one another in a region that is known to have the highest amount of tomato production in all of Latin America.

Calling it a 'complete hotel key fail', two travellers exposed a major security flaw when they used their card to unlock multiple rooms at the $38-a-night Rodeway Inn on Route 66 in Gallup, New Mexico. Footage shows one of the men holding the key for the camera (top left) and using it to open their door (bottom left) before unlocking two adjacent rooms at the budget hotel. Choice Hotels, which owns the Rodeway Inn chain, blamed it on a 'malfunction' in the hotel's key card system and said the flaw has been addressed.

Six years ago, Meraid Griffin left her home, family and job for a life of adventure on the high seas. After travelling to the Arctic, she met Dan, the skipper of the yacht, She of Feock and the pair decided to sail to Africa together (main). In Morocco, their yacht was targeted and burgled by pirates but the experience was nothing like Meraid's Jonny Depp fantasy. Pictured inset are CSI Maroc who investigated the incident.

Romain Veillon, 32, from Paris, has spent years travelling across Europe and to countries in Africa and South America to photograph abandoned buildings for his new book, Ask the Dust. Some of his best work includes these photos of a decaying kitchen at a house in Belgium (left), a forgotten piano at a rundown property in Poland (top right), and a staircase in a crumbling building in Portugal (bottom right). The urban explorer is highly secretive, choosing not to reveal the exact locations because he fears they would be 'trashed' by vandals.

The beaches. The sun. The chance that you might bump into Leonardo DiCaprio and make him your husband!  The list of reasons to vacation immediately in St Barts (or Saint Barthélemy) is endless. With its distinctive, sexy, European spirit and ambiance of casual barefoot luxury, the paradise island exudes a chic, laid-back vibe. It's a place to see and be seen, says MailOnline Travel's Lisa Potter who stayed at re-designed resort, Le Guanahani.

Pilot Jon Bowles, from Bolton, is providing a rare look at stunning landscapes or famous landmarks in his amazing images, which were taken from the cockpit during his travels around the world. The 55-year-old's photos show sights such as Iran's shrinking Lake Urmia (left), the breathtaking K2 mountain range in Asia (top right) and Dubai's fascinating man-made Palm islands and skyscrapers (bottom right) in a light impossible for the human eye to detect.

In the past they would have been tucked away in a private album, but these amusing or cringeworthy snaps of beach holidays have been enshrined on the US-based website Awkward Family Photos. One happy family was photobombed by a sunbather in a lewd position (top left), while a young boy seemed all too pleased when his sister broke down in tears while she was buried in sand (right). In another snap (bottom left), everyone but one family member was ready for the beach - she chose to wear Goth attire while everyone else opted for swimsuits.

MailOnline Travel's Ted Thornhill finds himself in a zen-like state of relaxation at the incredible The Sanctuary at Ol Lentille in Kenya's dramatic Laikipia Plateau. It's a luxury oasis, complete with butlers, an infinity pool (bottom right) and Austin Powers styling (top left), that nestles 6,000ft up in a semi-arid landscape that elephants, zebras and leopards call home.

The golden age of air travel lives on in these vintage photos and adverts which have resurfaced as Aer Lingus, Ireland's flag carrier, celebrates the 80th anniversary of its first flight. Instead of pyjamas, passengers wore their best clothes on transatlantic flights (main photo) to destinations such as New York in the 1950s. The inset image shows one of the travel posters used to sell the idea of international flight to passengers.

Jonathan Quinonez, from Brussels, is visiting glamorous beaches and landmarks, and documenting his adventures with Instagram snaps that show him holding a sign reading 'Mom I'm Fine'. He's not alone in many of the shots, which show him squeezed between a group of bikini-clad women on a beach in Cancun, Mexico, scuba diving in the Caribbean Sea and being held upside down by men dressed as soldiers in Colombia. The 27-year-old came up with the idea after he quit his job and sold his car in order to travel the world.

This is Hungary's answer to the paradise islands in the Indian Ocean - a village on stilts northwest of the capital, Budapest, near Bokod, that's known as the 'floating village'. Rows of vintage cabins, complete with cozy porches, have been built on stilted platforms in Lake Bodoki and are connected to the land and each other by a series of boardwalks.

A US kayak company has come up with an ingenious creation that lets users feel like they are walking on water as they propel themselves forwards, using the power of stepping. Not only do you get a great cardio vascular workout, but you can explore lakes and rivers at up to 7mph. The new craze has been developed by Hobie Eclipse , who want to revolutionise stand-up boards and fitness from gyms into the water.

Back in 2012, adventurous Franco Paltrinieri gave up his marketing career and purchased an old Volkswagen van with a plan to travel from his home in Argentina to Alaska. A year ago he started selling 'lomitos' steak sandwiches from his van, which he cooks with traditional local liquor from the countries he visits along the way. So far he has travelled to eight countries.

Amid the organised chaos of Hanoi, tiny motorbikes whizz through the narrow alleys (centre), precariously carrying furniture, fruit (top left) or even heavy tanks (bottom right), as these fascinating images show. Photographer Mate Valtr travelled to the Vietnamese capital in February this year to explore and document the bustling city. Dubbed the 'Paris of the East', the town is famous for its artisans and merchants. Although daily life in Hanoi is incredibly varied, much of it takes place outside on the streets, and it common to see people eating (top right) and getting their hair done (bottom left) outside.

Marion Lamond (main and inset), 53, mistakenly picked up husband Derek's passport (main) but managed to pass through two airport security checkpoints before anyone noticed the error.

As she landed in Turkey, she was taken aside and separated from her friend for interrogation. She is pictured inset with her husband.

Gone are the days when clothes are just clothes - more and more items are created for travellers who want their outfit to be multi-use. The latest to hit the market is Koala Hoodie, a travel top that claims to have 15 different features including a removable inflatable travel pillow in the hood (top left), a hidden phone charger (top right) and even a bottle opener as the zip (bottom left). You can also pull the hood over your eyes to use as a mask while you sleep (bottom right).

James Phillips, or Antler Man as he is known in his Montana hometown, offers curious enthusiasts the chance to gaze upon his eerily beautiful collection that he began when he was a boy.

The Boeing 737 was arriving at Liverpool John Lennon Airport from Knock in Ireland on Tuesday around midday when the pilots took the decision to perform a go around. Despite the aborted landing, the Ryanair flight still landed two minutes ahead of schedule in Liverpool. The filmmaker also captured this. The footage shows the Ryanair plane shifting slightly from side to side on approach before making a safe, if not bumpy, landing.

Incredible images of US company Boeing's 777 and 787 planes reveal that they feature a secret staircase (left) leading to a windowless bedroom area known as Crew Rest Departments (CRCs) (main) designed for flight attendants and pilots to unwind in during long-haul journeys. The size and position of these spaces varies depending on each aircraft model, but they are typically nestled away behind the cockpit area, located above first class (top right). On Boeing 777 planes there can also be a separate area for pilots, with two beds, two business-class seats and, in some airlines, a bathroom area with a sink or lavatory.

If authentic travel is what you're looking for, you should definitely avoid these sites - not only are they overcrowded with holidaymakers, the legends that surround them are entirely different from the reality. They include well known destinations and attractions like Juliet's balcony in Verona (left), Shangri La in China (top right) and Sleepy Hollow in New York (bottom right). Some were created to cash in on hit films while others were recreated to chase after historic inaccuracies. But they all have one thing in common - they've been devised to attract unwitting travellers.
