Nosy Lonjo d'Antsiranana (On tentative list)
Nosy Lonjo d'Antsiranana

Andrefana Dry Forests (Inscribed)
Andrefana Dry Forests
I was really pleased to visit the Tsingy de Bemaraha, because an article years ago in National Geographic about them was what really got me interested in visiting Madagascar. Climbing …

Ambohimanga (Inscribed)
Ambohimanga
Ambohimanga is one of those places I probably wouldn't have bothered to visit if it weren't a WHS. But I'm very glad I did because, the visit, combined with a …

Maritime Greenwich (Inscribed)
Maritime Greenwich
I was surprised to see so many people at Greenwich as I thought it was only going to be a few hardy science enthusiasts coming to visit the observatory. But, …

Le Morne (Inscribed)
Le Morne
We weren't able to hike very far up Le Morne when we visited because it had been raining and we were told that hiking it when it was so muddy …

Aapravasi Ghat (Inscribed)
Aapravasi Ghat
There's nothing wrong with the site, and I agree that the indentured servant phenomenon that moved so many millions around the globe deserves some sort of World Heritage recognition. There's …

Bordeaux (Inscribed)
Bordeaux
While the Basilica of St. Michael might be the most notable monument of Bordeaux, the most memorable part of our stay was an excellent bicycle tour that we took. On …

Region Lacan-Tún - Usumacinta (On tentative list)
Region Lacan-Tún - Usumacinta
This site includes two of my favorite Maya ruins of Yaxchilan and Bonampak -- two very unique sites among the many Maya ruins I have visited.
Yaxchilan
You …

Historical city of Izamal (On tentative list)
Historical city of Izamal
Izamal is worth a visit for two primary reasons: Kinich Kak Moo -- ruins of an enormous Maya pyramid, and the convent of San Antonio de Padua. It's otherwise a …

Tiwanaku (Inscribed)
Tiwanaku
There's just enough left of the Tiwanaku site that I was able to get a decent appreciation for this ancient culture. The museums are very well done, featuring several impressive …

Lake Titicaca (On tentative list)
Lake Titicaca
I visited the beautiful Lake Titicaca from both the Peruvian and the Bolivian sides. From Puno, Peru, I took an excursion out to see the Uros floating islands. While they …

Arequipa (Inscribed)
Arequipa
Arequipa is a pleasant enough city and I enjoyed my stay there, but it didn't seem particularly outstanding to me. The main square and cathedral are quite nice, and there …

Nasca Aqueducts (On tentative list)
Nasca Aqueducts
The Nasca Aqueducts are a very impressive work of hydrological engineering from the pre-Columbian Nazca culture. The Cantalloc Aqueducts are the best preserved of these, just outside the city of …

Nasca Lines (Inscribed)
Nasca Lines
Seeing the Nazca lines was the biggest thrill of my April 2024 Peru trip. I had been to Peru about 25 years prior, but back then had not been able …

Robben Island (Inscribed)
Robben Island
Unlike some of the other reviewers here, I thought the required bus tour around Robben Island was a pretty good way to get an overview of the site. I also …

Caral-Supe (Inscribed)
Caral-Supe
The ancient buildings of Caral-Supe really impressed me. This most ancient city in the Americas has a good collection of major structures that are at least partially restored. The site …

Torres del Paine and Bernardo… (On tentative list)
Torres del Paine and Bernardo O'Higgins NPs
My "hidden gem" recommendation for Torres del Paine is the Mirador Ferrier trail, which was suggested to me by my hotel's activity concierge. This relatively short but steep hike starts …

Verona (Inscribed)
Verona
Prior to my three night stay in March of 2023, I mostly knew Verona as the setting of Romeo & Juliet. Turns out, I found the Casa de Giulietta to …

Vicenza and the Palladian Vil… (Inscribed)
Vicenza and the Palladian Villas
I was surprised how much I enjoyed Vicenza. We only had the briefest of visits, stopping off the train from Padua back to Verona after a day trip. So we …

Padua’s fourteenth-century fr… (Inscribed)
Padua’s fourteenth-century fresco cycles
I was really dazzled by the frescoes of Padua. And I went on a Monday. Don't go on a Monday if you can avoid it -- several attractions are closed. …
