Cape Town, South Africa
Aptly called “paradise on earth”, this beautiful city at the tip of the African continent, surrounded by huge mountains, makes a person feel like a small grain of sand among the beautiful. 
Taj Mahal, India
The Taj Mahal in India is one of the wonders of the world and is one of the most beautiful mausoleums. The Taj Mahal is a five-domed structure 74 m high on a platform, with 4 minarets in the corners (they are slightly tilted away from the tomb so as not to damage it in case of destruction), which is adjacent to a garden with fountains and a swimming pool.
The walls are made of polished translucent marble (brought 300 km away for construction) with inlaid gems. Turquoise, agate, malachite, carnelian were used... Marble has such a peculiarity that in bright daylight it looks white, at dawn it looks pink, and on a moonlit night it looks silver.
More than 20,000 craftsmen from all over the empire, as well as craftsmen from Central Asia, Persia and the Middle East, were invited to build the complex. There was supposed to be a twin building made of black marble on the other side of the river, but it was not completed. A gray marble bridge was supposed to connect these two buildings. 
Canadian Rockies, Canada
These are the most beautiful mountain landscapes, lakes, canyons, waterfalls, glaciers, peaks, limestone caves. Included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. 
Machu Picchu, Peru
It is sometimes called the "lost city of the Incas". This city was created as a sacred mountain retreat by the great Inca ruler Pachacutec a century before the conquest of his empire, around 1440, and functioned until 1532, when the Spanish invaded the Inca Empire. In 1532, all its inhabitants mysteriously disappeared.
The city is located on the top of a mountain range at an altitude of 2057 meters above the Urubamba River valley in what is now Peru.
Due to its modest size, Machu Picchu cannot claim to be a large city - it has no more than 200 buildings. These are mainly temples, residences, warehouses and other premises for public needs. For the most part they are made of well-processed stone, slabs tightly fitted to each other. It is believed that up to 1,200 people lived in and around it, who worshiped the sun god Inti there and cultivated crops on the terraces. 
Pyramids, Egypt
Egyptian pyramids are massive monuments :)
The Egyptians began construction after 2700 BC. and they were built as tombs for the pharaohs. A total of 118 pyramids have been discovered in Egypt (as of November 2008). When mentioning the Egyptian pyramids, they usually mean the Great Pyramids located in Giza, near Cairo. But they are not the only pyramids in Egypt. Many other pyramids are much less well preserved and now resemble hills or piles of stones, so scientists and tourists pay much less attention to them. 
Petra, Jordan
Included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was the capital of Edom or Idumea, later the capital of the Nabataean kingdom, the main city of the sons of Esau. The city is located on the territory of modern Jordan, at an altitude of more than 900 meters above sea level and 660 meters above the surrounding area, the Arava Valley, in the narrow Siq canyon. 
Great Wall of China, China
Of course, a grandiose creation with a length of 6350 km. Construction began in the 5th century BC. This wall was originally built from stone, grass, earth and wood, and the bricks were used after production began. It is believed that about 2-3 million Chinese died as part of this project. 
Iguazu Falls, Argentina
The complex is 2.7 km wide and includes approximately 270 individual waterfalls. The height of the water fall reaches 82 meters, but at most waterfalls it is a little more than 60 meters. The largest waterfall is Garganta del Diablo (“Devil's Throat”) - a U-shaped cliff 150 meters wide and 700 meters long. This waterfall marks the border between Brazil and Argentina.
