Far-flung Easter Island – one of the remotest inhabited islands on
Earth – is a remarkable place, made even more so by its mysterious moai. These
giant stone-carved heads and torsos stand stoically on sites around the
volcanic island. It's widely thought, but not known for certain, that they were
carved by the Rapa Nui people in deference to important ancestors. Nearly 900
moai were carved and erected across the island between the 11th and 14th
centuries, with many of the rocks sourced from the Rano Raraku quarry, a
spectacular volcanic crater that still remains on the island.
One of the world's most beautiful buildings and India's most
famous monument, this white marble mausoleum has become symbolic of
enduring love. It was built in the 1630s by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan for
his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. An exquisite example of Islamic architecture, it
took about 22 years to complete with a workforce of around 20,000 people. With
its breathtaking fine detail and gleaming façade, we can see why the Taj Mahal
earned its UNESCO status in 1983 and is often considered one of the new
seven wonders of the world.

There's a good reason that a staggering 6.38 million people
visited this cavernous multicolored canyon in Arizona in 2018. The gaping chasm
is one of nature's truly epic sights. Carved out by the Colorado River over
millions of years, the Grand Canyon measures 277 miles (446km) in length and
reaches widths of up to 18 miles (29km) wide. With its cavernous size, the
rust-colored canyon boasts spectacular views across the desert landscape. The
South Rim is best known for its scenic lookouts.

At 3,212-foot-high (979m), these plunging waters in the east of Venezuela make up the highest uninterrupted waterfall in the world. The astonishing sight is one of many within the equally arresting Canaima National Park, a vast expanse of untamed jungle that's characterized by distinctive table-top mountains and crashing waterfalls. The remote location of Angel Falls, hidden in the heart of a lush jungle, only adds to its wonder.

Located in Myanmar’s Mandalay region, the ancient city of Bagan is
a former royal kingdom steeped in otherworldly beauty and history. An
incredible number of temples, palaces, pagodas and monasteries lie
cheek-by-jowl along the Irrawaddy River. In fact, Bagan has the most
concentrated area of Buddhist religious structures in the world and each one
has its own unique charm and history. Drifting over the fertile plains of the
Irrawaddy Delta on a hot air balloon at sunrise is the most magical way to
appreciate the scale of the site.

Japan's ancient capital, Kyoto, is a
seriously stunning place to discover. A city of ornate temples, sacred shrines,
well-preserved historic neighborhoods and classical gardens, it's home to some
of the country's best cultural gems. It's especially alluring during the cherry
blossom season in spring and when the fall leaves blaze. Some of the
city's best attractions include the 11th-century Byodo-in Temple, the
golden Kinkakuji Temple and the 1,300-year-old shrine Fushimi Inari
Taisha.
A symbol of freedom and a beacon of hope, the
colossal torch-bearing figure that looms over New York Harbor is one of the
world's most recognized statues. The copper structure was designed by
sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and built by Gustave Eiffel as a gift to
the United States from the people of France in 1886. Representing the
Roman goddess Libertas, she holds a torch and a tablet inscribed with the
date of the American Declaration of Independence. At over 305-feet tall (93m),
the Statue of Liberty is a striking feature of Manhattan's skyline.
