South American monuments Machu Picchu in Peru and the statues of Easter Island are among the top ten vote getters of the new world wonder contest.
Two South American highligths are likely to win. With more than 40 million votes in the contest thus far and only a few months remaining, both Peru's Incan citadel of Machu Picchu and Chile/Easter Island's statues, or moais, are among the top ten vote getters in the New Seven World Wonders contest, only 7 will make the final list. The prize is not just the list, however, millions in tourist revenue are expected to benefit the winning countries. The winners will be announced July 7 in Lisbon, Portugal.
