Whittled down from seventy-7 authentic possibilities, the remaining nonetheless incorporate the usual suspects, Grand Canyon, Mt. Kilimanjaro (pictured above), Angel Falls, Great Barrier Reef. Joining these are some lesser regarded, nonetheless equally amazing areas this kind of as India’s Sundarbans, Lebanon’s Jeita Grotto, Germany’s Black Forest, and various other people.
