The UNESCO World Heritage Sites consist of locations around the world that hold great cultural and historical value. They have been designated as key locations to ensure that the world is aware that they exist and that they can be protected through the funds collected through tourism. Here are some of the most amazing world heritage sites in the world.
Situated in Peru, Machu Picchu is an ancient city that was once occupied by the Incas. Some steps lead from its peak to the valley below making it almost merge into its background. When exploring Machu Pichu you can either get there via the Inca Trail or by bus. Those who want to have a bit of an adventure and take stock of the surroundings of the ancient city prefer the hiking route. However, if you are only interested in seeing the ruins themselves, the bus is a great option. If you are looking for accommodation facilities in this area, just browse through Excellent Hotel Deals.

Pyramids in general are awe-inspiring structures for the present-day man. Trying to imagine to effort and patience that went into building these structures is almost impossible. The pyramids of Giza were built as tombs for the Pharos. Next to the pyramids, you see the Sphinx who towers over the structures, providing guards to the tombs. One of the most famous things to do at the pyramid is to take a camel ride during sunset. Most of the accommodation deals offered in the region will feature this as an activity.
This is a temple complex that is situated in Cambodia. It is celebrated as the largest religious monument in the world. The complex consists of both excavated and hidden temples. There are also rock carvings that can be seen on each corner of the complex. What makes this complex even more complex is that there is a system of trees making its way through the ruins giving it the appearance of being swallowed by it.
This is perhaps on the bucket list of every traveller. Built in the 7th century BC, this wall stretches over 6,000 kilometres and covers multiple cities, landscapes, and climates. It was built to connect watchtowers in ancient times. At present, some parts of the world have been restored and can be accessed safely, while others are ruins. You can either take the long hike across the wall or visit each part of it on different days. Either way, you are bound to be amazed by the wonder of these great constructions.
Built by Romans, this is the largest building that still prevails from their time. It is a beautiful structure that still stands tall in the city centre. Currently, the country is looking to restore certain floors of the colosseum to allow people to get a real experience of how it would have looked back in the day
