The Five Most Overrated Tourist Attractions {Gadling}

Aug 31st 2009 11:56AM This list is sooo wrong. I love everything about Rome including the colosseum. Machu Pichu is INCREDIBLE- we overnighted in Aguas Callientes and took the first bus up in the morning- we had the place practically to ourselves- the mountain shrouded in mist and when the morning sun burned it off and the ruins came in to plain sight- unforgettable. Ankgor Wat had more square miles of ruins than any place we have ever visited besides Egypt- simply incredible. The Cambodian people are wonderful and you can hire a private guide and driver for very reasonable instead of joining some big tourist group- a plane trip from Bangkok takes about an hour and there is more than enough to see to fill at least 3 days.
