i would like to visit the "hand of the desert" in Atacama's desert. this hand or work of art was built in the early 80’s by the chilean sculptor Mario Irarrázabal. the sculpture is a ghostly human hand ripping through the desert to reach for the stars, but, what i see is It’s like a giant was flash-buried in the desert, trying to reach the sky. is an amazing sculpture and i want to see it.

I'd like to visit the Great Wall of China, the largest structure ever built because I really l ike to climd the stairs, even knowing that there are many and I think that this landmark have a history pretty interesting: It was built in the Qin Dynasty, 200 years b.C, in order to protect itself from the attacks of the habitants of present-day Mongolia. At the moment only a small accessible part of the 4,000 km of wall is conserved. The width and height of some sections are impressive. Although much of it's in poor condition or deteriorated, some sections of the wall are in good condition, thanks to repairs, renovations and protection programs by the Chinese government.

I want to visit again the "Iguazu Falls", this place is awesome, you can connect with the natural, you see variety of flora, big and small trees, flowers, vine. You can't touch de water, because the way have a metal barrier that separates you about one meter from the water.
You can stay in the top of the waterfall but it's dangerous, because you don't have protection and it's very slippery. This place it's expensive, it's better that you bring water and food. The most important is that you need have a great coat, because rain all the day and it's humid.

The place of reference that I would like to visit would be the Eiffel tower in France. Since being a tourist monument, in the time where it was built, it shows art, and love in this monument of great illumination. I would love to meet you since they say it is a very beautiful place, full of magic. Apart from being a very touristy place it is said that Paris is the city of love.

I'd like to visit Monument Rushmore. The monument represent the heads of four president of United State. The location is Keystone, South Dakota. The idea of creating a monumental sculpture in the Black Hills was first suggested in 1923 by South Dakota state, the four heads in the sculpture symbolize the first 150 years of the United States: Washington to represent the country’s founding; Jefferson, its expansion across the continent; Roosevelt, its development domestically and as a global power; and Lincoln, its preservation through the ordeal of civil war. I like this monument because is interesting because represent historty about United State also I love the detail to the perfection that it has, it is very well made and it was only built with rock.
