28 Finalists for Natural Wonders
The 28 competitors for the final phase of the competition for the 7 natural wonders have already been announced, during several posts we followed up on this topic. Reviewing I have realized that this topic entertained me not a little, I would have created a category as this is already my 12th post on the subject:
-

My Predictions
A pity, but there are not enough quotas, barely
We would wait for 2 posts in America. For now what a great achievement that have had candidates that we did not believe came to this point, it also gives us some regrets that were left behind; This is my prediction:
In America:
- Amazon
- Grand Canyon
In Europe:
- Black forest
In Asia:
- Halong Bay
- Puerto Princesa
In Oceania:
- Coral barrier
In Africa:
- Kilimanjaro (if he gets enough votes)
