The seven Wonders of the world is pretty ambiguous. There are many lists of the Wonders of the world, depending on who is making the list. One such list just includes popular modern places that tourists go to see: Tourist travel wonders of the world: Hillman Wonders compiled this list
* Great Pyramids of Giza
* Great Wall of China
* Taj Mahal
* Serengeti Migration
* Galapagos
* Grand Canyon
* Machu Picchu

There are lists of the Seven natural Wonders of the world too. Like I said, there are several of these lists depending on what category the compiler favors.
