The results are in... Who made the cut?
Last summer world voted on the New Seven Wonders of the World, and Peru’s Machu Picchu won one of the honours. Now, the results of a new contest were just announced. This time, Peru’s own wonders were the focus. According to an article on Living in Peru, the contest was held over eight months and involved tabulating more than 150 million votes.
The results? Here are the top three winners in the Seven Wonders of Peru Contest:
1. Los Baños del Inca (also known as the hot springs or Inca Baths in Cajamarca)
2. El Valle del Colca (or the Colca Canyon) in Arequipa
3. Los Frailones stone forest (the Stone Monks).
Rounding out the seven wonders are the Kuélap Fortress in the Amazonas, the Huayllay Stone Forest (in Pasco), Alto Mayo Valley (San Martin) and Gran Pajeten (also in San Martin).
No doubt Peru will once again be in the spotlight for the New 7 Wonders of Nature contest currently underway. The results won’t be announced until 2010, but the nomination process is already in full swing. See the contest website for more details.
