Wonders of the World

 


Moai, Easter Island, Chile

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.

Wonders of the World

 

Taj Mahal, Agra, India

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.

Wonders of The World

 


Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA

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.

Wonders of The World

 


Angel Falls, Venezuela

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.

Wonders of the World

 


Bagan, Myanmar

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.

Wonders of the World

 


Kyoto, Japan

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.

Wonders of the World

 

Statue of Liberty, New York, USA

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. Discover more of America's most important landmarks here.
