The outstretched arms of the 125-foot statue of the Christ the Redeemer overlook Rio de Janeiro from atop 2,343-foot Mount Corcovado.
4. Machu Picchu, Peru
Built by the Incan Empire in the 15th century, Machu Picchu's walls, palaces, temples and dwellings are perched in the clouds at 8,000 feet above sea level in the Andes.
5. Pyramid at Chichen Itza, Mexico
This pyramid was part of a sacred site in an important Mayan center on Mexico's Yucatan peninsula. Built according to the solar calendar, shadows at the fall and spring equinoxes are said to look like a snake crawling down the steps, similar to the carved serpent at the top.
6. Colosseum, Italy
The 50,000-seat amphitheater in Rome was inaugurated in A.D. 80 and served as the backdrop for thousands of gladiators who dueled to the death.
