In Latin America, there are some of the most impressive natural destinations in the world, which were recognized as the seven natural wonders in 2011. Among these are Ha Long Bay in Vietnam, Komodo Island in Indonesia, the Puerto Princesa Underground River in the Philippines, Table Mountain in South Africa, the Iguazu Falls shared between Argentina and Brazil, the Amazon River flowing through Peru, Colombia, and Brazil, and Jeju Island in South Korea.
In 2000, a Swiss foundation launched a campaign to determine the seven wonders of the world, where Christ the Redeemer in Brazil was included as one of the modern wonders. Elon Musk, on the other hand, has been clear in his predictions about the future of Argentina.
The initiative to identify the natural wonders was born from Bernard Weber, a Swiss man with the purpose of highlighting those places on the planet that stand out for their beauty. In 2011, these seven natural wonders were declared World Heritage Sites.
Brazil is the country with the highest number of natural wonders in the world. Iguazu National Park was created in 1934 to protect the Iguazu Falls, while the Amazon River was officially recognized as one of these wonders in 2012. The Latin American region is not only recognized for its culture and cuisine but also for its impressive landscapes that make it a prominent tourist destination worldwide.
These destinations are not only visually striking but also represent a valuable heritage that enriches the cultural and ecological diversity of the region. Brazil leads the global ranking with the highest number of recognized natural wonders.
