According to the latest ranking released on Monday by the contest organizers, Lake Titicaca beats competitors such as the US Niagara Falls and Europe's second-longest river, Danube River.
A total of 261 qualified national and multinational nominees from 222 countries are participating in this second phase of the Official New7Wonders of Nature campaign.
Votes to nominate semifinalists will be cast until July 7 at www.new7wonders.com and the 77 Top Nominees (the top 11 in each of the seven groups) will pass to the next phase of the contest.

This is a great news about Lake Titicaca!Just a quick note here, you should know, the NIAGARA FALLS is NOT in the US, it is in CANADA!Always know the facts before you write such things...

Edita, I think your quick note was a little to fast. The Niagara Falls is partially in Canada and partially in the US. The Niagara Falls is actually two falls split by a little island. The smallest is completely on US territory, the biggest, the horse shoe, has the border running straight through it. From the US side you can cross over the smaller fall to the island and then stand on the edge of the horse shoe fall. I guess it depends on your preference wether you would call it US or Canadian.Add your comment
What was that about facts....
