In the east of Brazil
It doesn’t look like a typical Brazilian scene. And it doesn’t look like it is the richest place in the world for its biodiversity. And this is the reason that makes Discovery Coast a World Heritage Site.
But it just looks great to me.

In the south east of Brazil
Since the city of Rio de Janeiro has won the 2016 Olympics I thought I would check out some of the World Heritage Sites in Brazil.
The small city of Ouro Preto is on of Brazil’s sites.
As you can see it is not only an historic city with stunning architecture, it is also a living, working city.

In the centre of Brussels, Belgium
This square in the centre of Brussels is a World Heritage Site.
I visited this place last month. It is not the biggest square I have seen, like Tianenmen Square in Beijing or Red Square in Moscow, but it is surrounded by some beautiful buildings and some delicious waffle shops.

Only 60km from Cuzco
A World Heritage Site since 1983, and constantly voted in many polls as one of the 7 Wonders of the Modern World, this 15th century Inca city is one of the most amazing man-made sights. It is in Peru, not far from the mountain city of Cuzco.
This view from above is taken from the mountain which is often seen in photos standing behind the city.

A special peninsula
The turquoise sea surrounds a small green peninsular, which is Butrint.
And where is this exotic place? Albania in Europe (just south of the former Yugoslavia).
