Q4: Which site is not listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site but it should be? @CharlesMcCool #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @ramblRramblR A3: Incan architecture involves precisely cut stones, with no mortar. SacsayhuamƔn and Cusco come to mind. #TRLT
Q5: We visited UNESCO site Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi multiple times. Why? Because we like to see how fast #Kazakhstan is changing. The 1st photo is in 2017 with camels & steppe. Today you find a beautiful park & modern city around the mausoleum. via @worldwidexplore #TRLT
replying to @ararewoman @ararewoman @junkkDNA @CharlesMcCool Very happy to have you at the chat. My mother was born in Germany - I feel at home there. #TRLT
A4: The mountainside village of Bordj Zemoura, Bordj Bou Arreridj province, Algeria š©šæ. An important stop on the trade route once connecting the Sahara with Mediterranean ports and home to the best views in the country. #trlt https://t.co/TGPlIMSgmc
A4 #TRLT I think Crater Lake National Park (@CraterLakeNPS) in Southern Oregon should be a UNESCO site. How could you not with that amazing blue water? Probably some day.

@LindaPeters64 @CharlesMcCool A4. Matsumoto Castle isnāt a UNESCO site but it easily could be. There are many sites like this around the world and I donāt know why some are and some arenāt- but I hope they get the protection they need. šŗ:Ā

A4. Make the Meso American Reef that runs for 600 miles along the east coast of South America UNESCO protected. It could use help with coral die-off from invasive bacteria. I dove Roatan in May. Not what it was. #TRLT
replying to @ararewoman @ararewoman Definitely worth a visit. Go there late afternoon, the weather is cooler and the light makes for nicer photographs. #TRLT
replying to @HeidiSiefkas @HeidiSiefkas @CharlesMcCool A4) As far as I know, Kings Canyon & Sequoia National Parks aren't on the UNESCO World Heritage list which isn't surprising since they are usually overshadowed by their neighbor to the north, Yosemite National Park. #TRLT

A4 Lahaina #maui as the royal Hawaiian capitol until it was moved to Honolulu. Itās a town with such historic significance to Maui and its melange of culture. via @CharlesMcCool #TRLT #traveltuesday
replying to @Shannon_Skinner @Shannon_Skinner @CharlesMcCool I have one obvious answer for this question. If it wasn't for that site, I'd struggle to answer this question. #TRLT
A2: The least visited site that I've visitedš¤š¤·āāļø I don't know how I would know, but I suspect: the Megalithic Temples of Malta near Tarxien. Amazing bit of history!

A4: a site not listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site but should be is the medieval 13th century German town fortress of Stadt Zons. With it's car free cobblestone streets, walls and moats and windmill, it feels like walking through a fairy tale.

š visiting any type of UNESCO heritage site. Was so fortunate to have been able to visit many in Southern Africa, including the Matoti-Drakensberg one in South Africa below. Itās off the usual safari itinerary but easy to reach from Durban or Johannesburg. #TRLT
