Bernard Weber, founder of the New Seven Wonders Foundation arrived at the Brazil Pavilion to the sound of samba to promote the New 7 Wonders of Nature competition. Presentations were given on the competition and finalists, the Amazon and Iguaçu Falls, by Bernard Weber and Brazil Pavilion Director, Pedro Wendler.
Project Founder and President, Bernard Weber, stated, “The presentation on the Amazon and Iguaçu Falls was great in telling stories that evoke the emotions of people that visit these destinations.” Weber also said that he was “Here today to help and sustain the candidacy of Brazil and the 9 other countries that share the Amazons.”
A private tour of the Brazil Pavilion was also given to Bernard Weber and other VIP guests, which included Pavilion Directors from countries that contain the Iguaçu Falls and the Amazon rainforest such as Argentina, Colombia, and Venezuela, among others. The tour was followed by a lunch for journalists and guests at the Brazil Pavilion VIP Restaurant.
Iguaçu Falls and the Amazon have been voted as two of the 28 Finalists in the one-billion-vote “Official New 7 Wonders of Nature” global campaign. The Iguaçu Falls are waterfalls of the Iguaçu River, located on the border of Brazil and Argentina. These spectacular falls are one of the world’s largest waterfalls and are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
