pristine landscapes
Virgin natural scenery
Pristine landscapes are natural environments appearing untouched by human activity—wilderness areas, remote forests, unspoiled coastlines.
The phrase appears frequently in conservation rhetoric and travel marketing, sometimes describing places that aren't quite as untouched as claimed: The brochure promised pristine landscapes, but we could see the resort from every viewpoint.
