World Wonders
Here is a list of seven alternative wonders of the world. If you’re tired of hearing about the world’s more traditional spectacular sites, then consider a visit to some of these little-known gems picked from around the globe.
Colca Canyon, Peru
With a fleeting look, the scale of Colca Canyon could easily be missed. It doesn’t possess as many startling drops as its American equivalent and its sloping climbs can be misleading but don’t let your eyes fool you; statistically there’s no contest between the two. Colca Canyon is over 3,000m (9,842ft) deep; that’s more than two times the depth of the Grand Canyon.
Although there are infinite eye-catching views and a huge variety of seasonal colors in Colca Canyon, the Andean Condor is the major attraction for tourists. The Cruz del Condor is the most popular location to watch condors ride the canyon’s thermal waves.
