Rio de Janeiro is one of the most vibrant and exciting cities in the world, and no visit to this bustling metropolis would be complete without a trip to the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue. This stunning monument is located on top of Corcovado Mountain, which towers over the city at a height of 710 meters above sea level. And oh yes, like the picture above: it is a tourist hotspot!

We got up early to get our bus tickets (24 USD both ways) which are valid throughout the whole day. Our entrance at Machu Picchu starts from 10 am, so we quickly packed, got breakfast and went to the bus.
The bus ride was about 30 minutes, with amazing views over the mountain range! We arrived around 9:30 am, but our tickets were valid from 10:00 am onwards for a period of 4 hours. They were quite strict on the minute about letting us in. Exactly at 10:00 am we could go.
The Great Wall of China is a humongous collection of fortifications throughout China. It has several famous parts you can visit.

Chichen Itza in Mexico is one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. In 2015 I got the chance to visit this amazing sight. Chichen Itza was one of the most important cities of the Maya’s civilization. The sight is beautiful, with the famous ‘el Castillo’ dominating in the centre. In this blog I will take you along how I experienced the whole day trip.
Highly noted on my bucket list I have noted down to see the new 7 Wonders of the World in this life time. The first one to write about that I visited is the only World Wonder in Europe, the Colosseum in Italy, Rome.
