There are the 7 Natural Wonders of Portugal that will be chosen on 7 September 2010. We have givin  you 7 examples here so you can see.



Marine zones, Caves and Caverns, beaches and cliffs, forests and woodlands, Great Reliefs, Protected Areas and marine wetlands are not the seven categories that the New 7 Wonders Portugal will put to the vote to elect the "7 Wonders of Portugal." An election will be announced in the idyllic setting of Ponta Delgada in Sao Miguel, Azores, in 2010, the International Year of Biodiversity.


This time the New 7 Wonders Portugal is still doing an exhaustive survey of the natural sites to be considered for the voting process.


So far 800 sites are selected, a list that will be released early next year.


Later, the list will be reduced to 77 sites by a panel of 77 experts. Re-examination will be made, this time by 21 notable personalities of the country, who will choose the 21 finalists Wonderland. At that time the public will be able to vote for the "7 Wonders of Portugal" in a vote which will run from March 7 to 7 September.


Here we list just one example of each category and what you can do in the surrounding 7 Wonders of these candidates. This is, indeed, a project that requires the involvement of local authorities in the dissemination and promotion of natural heritage ", as stated Segadães Louis, president of the New 7 Wonders Portugal. A project with an investment of 7 million, curated by Antonio Vitorino, and which enjoys the patronage of the Government of Azores.

Another possibility,brought to my attention by Duna, which will make example# 8 ( to make a departuture from"7") is, the Algarve.

The Algarve is the southern most region of the Portugal Continental; its capital is found in the city of Faro. Linda on the north by the region Alentejo, and the southwest by the Atlantic Ocean, and east by the River Guadiana and the Border Spain. The highest point is found in the Algarve Serra de Monchique, In Pico da Fóia, whose height is an awesome 902 meters.

In this region you can find amazing beaches and breath-taking natural landscape.
In the Algarve, the sea and the mountain is something that is always present, and one can  tour the interior landscapes, enjoying the views, wonder at the manifestation of wealth, or become lost in the most beautiful coastlines Europe. A side note....Do not forget to visit the island of Tavira, A place with magic and enchantment.  ~Thanks Duna~

It will be most difficult indeed to select just 7 "Wonders of Portugal".
