 NATURAL SITES

completa?
Ecco qua il sito Unesco World Heritage :
http://www.unesco.org/whc/nwhc/pages/home/pages/index.htm
da qui vai alla pagina main quindi alla lista completa (oggi è
particolarmente lento!!!).
Mi permetto anche di segnalarti un altro sito :
http://www.oneworld.org/
 da cui puoi cercare notizie per paese o per
argomento su tutto il mondo: a me è stato utilissimo per decidere
l'itinerario nel mio viaggio in Madagascar, infatti era l'unica fonte
d'informazione circa l'epidemia di colera e le grosse manovre militari in
corso tra aprile e maggio. Naturalmente entrambi i siti sono in inglese, e
quindi non penso ci siano problemi.
Nel sito Unesco ad ogni indicazione di luogo è associata una pagina con foro
e descrizione, nonchè link a pagine che trattano del posto stesso (se
esistono!!).
