Is Rio de Janeiro's Harbor One of the New 7 Wonders?

No. **Guanabara Bay (Rio de Janeiro's harbor)** is **not** among the **New 7 Wonders of the World** (2007 global vote by New7Wonders Foundation). The winners:

  1. Great Wall of China
  2. Christ the Redeemer (Rio de Janeiro) — the statue, not the harbor
  3. Chichén Itzá (Mexico)
  4. Petra (Jordan)
  5. Colosseum (Rome)
  6. Machu Picchu (Peru)
  7. Taj Mahal (India)

Guanabara Bay *is* often listed among the **"Seven Natural Wonders of the World"** (CNN, 1997) alongside Grand Canyon, Great Barrier Reef, Mount Everest, Aurora, Parícutin Volcano, Victoria Falls. It is the world's largest bay by volume (1.5 billion m³), framed by Sugarloaf Mountain and Corcovado. But it was not in the New7Wonders list.
