UNESCO in 1994 and in 2011. It was also voted as one of the seven new
natural wonders of the world.
Also on the list are the Luray Caverns in Virginia (the US), Monument
Valley in Utah (the US), the Natural Bridges State Park in Santa Cruz,
California (the US), the Providence Canyon in Georgia (the US) and the
