Internetters from all over the world selected 7 New Wonders of the World: Chichén Itzá in Mexico, Christ Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, the Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu in Peru, Petra in Jordan, the Colosseum in Roma and the Taj Mahal in India.
The statue Christ the Redeemer or Cristo Redentor on top of the Corcovado mountain in Rio de Janeiro has an altitude of 38 meters.
