THE 7 MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES IN THE WORLD

in #maravillas6 years ago (edited)

1. Machu Picchu, Peru

Impossible to say much more than what has already been said and is that Machu Picchu is one of those places that you have to enjoy at least once in your life. We recommend you get up early and arrive first thing in the morning, just when they open, in order to reach the guard house when the first rays of sunlight begin to break through the mist that accompanies the Inca citadel overnight. Probably that mist is late in disappearing, but do not despair, we assure you that what it hides is an image that you will never forget.


2. Taj Mahal, Agra, India

No list of the most fascinating places on the planet would be complete without the Taj Mahal, one of the most beautiful buildings in the world and the greatest work ever built for love. Apart from the obligatory visit, do not forget to go to the opposite bank of the Yamuna river, from where you can contemplate a totally different perspective of the Taj Mahal, especially at sunset, when the twilight lights give an incredibly beautiful appearance to the mausoleum.


3. Petra, Jordan

Feeling an explorer in Petra is easy. And it is that to cross first thing in the morning the Siq to be in front of the Treasure, one of the main wonders of Petra, is one of the most fascinating experiences that you can have in your travels. We recommend that after this stop in front of the Treasure you head towards the Monastery, a place that you will discover after a 45-minute ascent and that we assure you, will leave you with your mouth open.


4. Great Wall, China

Symbol of the country and one of the most famous places in the world. They say that until you have stepped on it, you have not been to China. Although there are more accessible areas from Beijing, such as Badaling, about 80 kilometers away, we recommend that if you want to have a more authentic experience, go to the areas of Jinshanling and Simatai, 120 and 140 kilometers away respectively from Beijing, where you can make a trekking, nothing easy but incredible, 5-6 hours, in which you can enjoy little or no restored areas of the Great Wall of China practically in solitude.


 5. Coliseo de Roma


The Roman Colosseum is a construction of the first century after Christ. Its function was to be the place where shows and games for the general public were held. It is located in the city of Rome, Italy. The original name of the amphitheater is Flavian Amphitheater (in Latin Amphitheatrum Flavium), taking the name of Coliseo time later.
The most accepted theory regarding the name of the Colosseum is due to the colossus, which is a 40 meter statue that represents Nero (colosseum). The Colosseum is undoubtedly the most representative work of Roman art and a symbol of the power of the entire Roman Empire.


6. Chichen Itza

Located in Yucatan, named World Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO and considered one of the "Seven New Wonders of the World". The archaeological site covers an area of 6.5 square kilometers. It has the southern zone that dates back to the 7th century and shows the Mayan Puuc style construction and the central zone, built after the arrival of the Toltecs around the 10th century, shows the fusion of the Puuc architectural styles and the central highlands of Mexico .


7. Christ the Redeemer

Christ the Redeemer or Christ of Corcovado is one of the great emblems of the city of Rio de Janeiro. We have all seen the famous images of the city, in which Christ the Redeemer dominates the city from the heights of Mount Corcovado, seeming to welcome and protect all its inhabitants.

The Christ the Redeemer was inaugurated in 1931 after works that lasted a total of 5 years. Its location in the city is privileged, at the top of the Tijuca National Park, at 710 meters above sea level, from where it has a privileged view of the city.
