1. Petra Jordania

2. Machu Pichu Peru

3. Cristo Redentor Brasil

This statue also known as the Christ of Corcobado, is part of the 7 new wonders of the world although this post we are only seeing 5 of them. It is located in Brazil in the city of Janeiro, this statue represents Jesus of Nazareth and was placed in 1931 in commemoration of the centennial of Brazilian independence.

4. Coliseum Romano Italia

Without a doubt it could not be missed, the Roman Colosseum located in Italy, was built in the first century with the intention of entertaining the Roman people with the deaths of gladiators or executions of all those who were against the Roman beliefs of the time.

5. La Muralla China

I do not have to say where it is located? This incredible structure is about 8,851 km long and was built in the 5th century, it is a world heritage site. It is the greatest modern wonder today, not only because of its length but because it is the construction that has more than one million workers who died building it since it took about 200 years to be completed.
