Ciudad Perdida (Removed from tentat…)
Ciudad Perdida
Teyuna, Colombia's Lost City, was inhabited between roughly 800 and 1650. It was only rediscovered about 50 years ago (ca. 1973) by looters. To get there now, you have to …

Chichen-Itza (Inscribed)
Chichen-Itza
I visited Chichen Itza in 2003 with my family, when you could still climb on and in the El Castillo pyramid. It's very enjoyable and iconic, I guess, but it …

We were pretty thrilled that we arrived in the area in the late afternoon with just enough time to visit Shaubak Castle the evening before we went to Petra. This …

Town of Chichicastenango (On tentative list)
Town of Chichicastenango
Chichicastenango was a fascinating small city to visit. You don't come for nature's beauty, ancient stone artifacts, or grand palaces, but for its unique living culture. The people and their …

The network of fortresses of the seneschalty of Ca
I'm happy to contribute the first review of this area!
I visited 7 of the 8 sites across four days October of 2017. The only one I missed was …

Fortified City of Carcassonne (Inscribed)
Fortified City of Carcassonne
I loved Carcassonne with its massive stone walls, pointy turrets, and the inner castle of Chateau Comtal. Sure, Viollet-le-Duc may have taken some artistic license, but the overall result is …

Palenque (Inscribed)
Palenque
The ancient Maya city of Palenque amazed me in its diversity. After walking in the main upper entrance, you first come across a row of pyramids. The last of these …

Tikal National Park (Inscribed)
Tikal National Park
Tikal was the first ancient Maya site that I ever visited, and it remains my favorite one. I've since visited about 20 others, but Tikal still stands above them all. …

Rapa Nui (Inscribed)
Rapa Nui
Like many of the people I talked to there, getting to Easter Island and seeing its Moai was something I've wanted to do since I was a child. It totally …

Rock Islands (Inscribed)
Rock Islands
The button-shaped, jungle covered islands Rock Islands were nice and interesting to see above the water as we cruised around on our tour, but the real attractions are below the …

Taputapuātea
We visited Taputapuatea in 1991 when we had a short vacation on Raiatea. Taputapuatea is a set of ancient Polynesian marae, which you can think of as a large open …
