Read-only tools over the Detourmap atlas: 117,980 notable places across 378 countries in seventeen kinds — ruins, beaches, caves, waterfalls, volcanoes, castles, museums, ghost towns and more (facts from Wikidata, CC0; every place has a photo and an English Wikipedia article). Every result links its spot on https://detourmap.com. Use search_places / get_place for lookups, places_near for "what's worth visiting near X" (geocode X first), top_places for fame, list_kinds / list_countries for coverage, get_statistics for aggregate claims and random_place for discovery.

get_placeFetch one place’s full record by slug (preferred, e.g.
places_nearList notable places within a radius of a WGS84 coordinate, most famous first (rank order), each with distance_km — the direct answer to "what is worth visiting near <place>?".
top_placesThe most famous places worldwide, in one country, or of one kind — ordered by Detourmap fame rank (derived from Wikipedia language coverage; rank 1 is the most famous).
list_kindsDetourmap’s seven kinds (layers) with worldwide counts and browsable index pages — ruins & the uncanny, sacred sites, built landmarks, nature & landscapes, parks & cemeteries, museums & culture, and fun & leisure.
list_countriesEvery country in the atlas with its place count, most first — answers "which country has the most notable places".
get_statisticsHeadline statistics computed live from the atlas: totals by kind, top countries, fame-tier sizes, dated-entry stats, geographic extremes and the most famous place.
random_placeOne random place with its full record — deliberately biased toward the little-known long tail, like the site’s own "Surprise me" button.
