Top 10 UNESCO World Heritage Sites

If you are thinking of visiting the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, here we present the Top 10 UNESCO World Heritage Sites:

Stonehenge: The incredible Neolithic monument more than 5,000 years old, is one of the most important tourist attractions in the UK and the world. This little island is visited by almost 3 million tourists a year, and its connection with the mainland appears and disappears according to the tides. It was built between the 11th and 16th centuries, and is in danger of collapse, so some measures were taken to slow down the process. This Gothic-style Benedictine abbey – and the town that lies at its feet – is classified as the “Wonder of the West.”
Venice: That city of canals, bridges and alleys that lend itself to getting lost and finding hidden wonders of the great mass that continually floods its banks, is an earthly wonder and the entire city and its lagoon are considered a World Heritage Site. Lions guard the capital of the Venetian region and are part of the identity of one of the most magical cities in the world. The Piazza San Marco, the Torre dell’Orologio, the Bridge of Sighs and the Palazzo Ducale are just some of the great attractions of this city, which was once the most important commercial center on the planet
The citadel Machu Picchu: An Inca city of the 15th century and famous worldwide since the exploratory trip of the American Hiram Bingham in 1911, was recognized in 1983 as a cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO and since 2007 it is considered one of the new seven Wonders of the World. Travelers can travel along only three approved roads, and a maximum of 2,500 visitors are allowed to enter the Inca ruins per day.
Halong Bay: In Vietnam, includes 1600 islands and islets that make up a wonderful maritime landscape. of limestone pillars. Due to its nature, most of its islands are not inhabited, which allowed them to protect their unspoiled beauty. To his wonderful spirit is added a high biological interest.
The Acropolis of Athens and the monuments: That stand inside it, such as the Parthenon. Known around the world for having served as a location in Hollywood films such as Tomb Raider or Indiana Jones, this ancient Cambodian city was one of the capitals of the Khmer empire, which ruled Southeast Asia between the 9th and 15th centuries. Angkor was declared a World Heritage Site in 1992, and is Cambodia’s tourist destination par excellence.
Iguazú and its Falls: It is clear that it is a place where nature prevails and man visits it in order to be amazed. The majestic Iguazú Falls are a prominent tourist attraction in both this country and Brazil. The largest and most important and moving waterfall in the world is the Devil’s Throat, with more than 80 meters high.
The Great Barrier Reef: Is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, Australia. When viewed from a distance, it is possible to understand its magnitude. Stretching for 2,600 kilometers, it is larger than the Great Wall of China and is the only ecosystem visible from space. It is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The beauty of the largest coral reef on the planet is without a doubt impressive, and it is an ecosystem rich in marine species that is composed of 3,000 different individual reef systems and coral cays.
The Taj Mahal: Was built in the 17th century and is considered one of the wonders of the modern world. More than two million tourists per year visit the monument.
