Read-only tools over the Detourmap atlas: 39,832 notable places across 233 countries, and nothing else — the map is cut to 2 kinds: archaeological (ancient ruins, tombs, ghost towns, shipwrecks, catacombs, mines, battlefields and crash sites); nature (parks, mountains, waterfalls, caves, volcanoes and coves). It is an atlas of what nature made and what people left behind, so it holds no museums, galleries, churches, castles, gardens or theme parks. (Facts from Wikidata, CC0; every place has a photo and a Wikipedia article, in English where one exists and otherwise in at least three other languages.) 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.

search_placesSearch 39,832 notable places worldwide by name (accent- and case-insensitive substring match): archaeological and nature.
Inferred read-onlyplaces_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>?".
Inferred read-onlytop_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).
Inferred read-onlylist_kindsThe layers Detourmap carries — archaeological and nature — with worldwide counts and a browsable index page for each.
Inferred read-onlylist_countriesEvery country in the atlas with its place count, most first — answers "which country has the most notable places".
Inferred read-onlyget_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.
Inferred read-onlyrandom_placeOne random place with its full record — deliberately biased toward the little-known long tail, like the site’s own "Surprise me" button.
