We’ve all heard of the incredible seven wonders of the world and there are plenty of avid travelers who make it their traveling goal to make sure they see all seven wonders or what is left of them. However, their list of awe-inspiring attractions they must see is probably so much longer. Here are six additional wonders of the world that are less heard of, but no doubt equally as impressive.
1. Discover Cambodia’s ancient temple complex of Sambor Prei Kuk. These awesome 52 temples were constructed during the 7th century and are of the remains of a once ruling kingdom. These temples encompass three miles of the jungle in Cambodia’s Kampon Thom province. You’ll be trekking through the jungles to this remote area. Once there, the guides will take you on a tour of these majestic temples on a tuk tuk.
2. Experience an adventure just like the movie, The Hobbit, in Cappadocia, Turkey. Travel underground through the labyrinth of ancient cities built in the Bronze Age. Hundreds of settlements were underground for protection from invading enemies. These masterpieces were hand carved through the volcanic rock and feature ventilation chimneys, kitchens, cribs and wine houses from that age.
3. Take a three mile hike to view the geological wonder of the Wave. This red rock wonder is on the border Utah and Arizona. This rippled wave formation is actually made of sand dunes that are 190 million years old and have turned into rock.
4. The Eye of the Sahara located in Mauritania is an amazing landform thought to be caused by a meteorite. This spectacular site has a diameter of 30 miles and can actually be seen from space. Take a camel safari through the sands of the Sahara to view this wonder of nature.
5. Dive into the legendary Great Blue Hole. Located 60 miles off the mainland of Belize, South America, this geographical phenomenon is a perfect circle of one quarter of a mile in diameter. Part of the Lighthouse Reef System, the depth of the water causes structures that have been known as the blue holes throughout the world.
6. Explore the palace complex of ruler Nawab Asaf-ud-Duala in Lucknow, India. Built in the 18th century, it stretches about half the length of a football field. Amazingly, it defies gravity as there are no pillars or beams to hold it up. Constructed of interlocking brickwork, it is an amazing combination of Arabic and European architecture.
