In life
Mother Earth is full of beautiful places. Mountains that break the flow of clouds, islands that swim in endless waters, forests that go deeper than the roots of the ageless trees. Then there are monuments sculpted to precision or destroyed to perfection, no matter how fragile, still standing proud.
The world has so many sights for sore eyes, and some of these like the Taj Mahal or the Great Wall of China came to be known as the Wonders of the World. However, we believe that some were left out and had they been included, the list would've been much longer. Have a look at these unknown wonders of the world:
- Mount Roraima, Venezuela
Sprawling across 31 sq km, the summit battles with the clouds. The 400 meter tall cliffs on all sides have borders of Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela respectively
- Viñales Valley, Cuba
A karstic depression which in no way looks depressing. Set in Cuba, the valley looks like a Hollywood set of a fantasy movie.
- Meroë, Sudan
This archaeological site in Sudan will take you back in time with ripples in the sand and the pyramid like structures standing resolutely. It was once the capital of the Kush Kingdom
- Mt. Maelifell, Iceland
Hard to believe that this is not computer graphics. The green moss covered volcano called Maelifell (Measure hill) is surrounded by cold streams & is right next to the Mýrdalsjökull glacier.

) - The Church of Transfiguration, Kizhi, Russia
No this isn't the subject taught at Hogwarts. But the story behind it is magical. The original church was burnt down by lighting and legend says that the builder of the new one, who remains unknown, used one single axe to build the entire structure. It was made completely of wood and the axe was thrown into the lake.
- Lauca World Biosphere Reserve, Chile
Home to beautiful flora & fauna with a landscape that perfectly compliments them.
