Seven Wonders of Brazil

The Seven Wonders of Brazil is a list of important historical monuments in the country, similar to the Seven Wonders of the World, compiled by the Greek poet and writer Antipater of Sidon. It was determined through a competition promoted by Caras magazine, in partnership with HSBC Bank.

In Brazil, the selection of the Seven Wonders sparked debates mainly concerning the domestic tourism sector. The debates pitted opponents of the competition against supporters, the latter arguing that it could boost tourism across different regions of Brazil, not just in the Southeast and Northeast.
