A UNESCO World Heritage Site is a place (such as a forest, mountain, lake, desert, monument, building, complex, or city) that is listed by UNESCO as of special cultural or physical significance. The list is maintained by the international World Heritage Programme administered by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee. I think these sites are really special, as they are carefully selected for their significance to humanity. So on my bucket list, I have a goal to visit at least fifty UNESCO World Heritage sites. I've only visited a few (thanks to my stay in Japan), but that is only the beginning. Today is the start of my journey to finding heritage.
UNESCO World Heritage Sites Visited
- Hiroshima Peace Memorial (Genbaku Dome)
- Itsukushima Shinto Shrine
- Gusuku Sites and Related Properties of the Kingdom of Ryukyu
- Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks (Banff National Park)
- Waterton Glacier International Peace Park
- Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump
I suggest Machu Pucchu in Peru, Petra in Jordan, the Pyramids of Egypt, Teotihuacan in Mexico and Yellowstone in the United States to start!
