UNESCO World Heritage Sites I've visited ...New 7 Wonders of the World

World Heritage Sites are cultural and/or natural sites considered to be of ‘Outstanding Universal Value’ across countries and generations, which have been inscribed on the World Heritage List by the UNESCO.

These sites represent unique, or the most significant or best, examples of the world’s cultural and/or natural heritage.

So far, I've visited 2: Taj Mahal and Chichen Itza.
