Today, Costa Ricans can say with pride that Cocos Island was nominated by the New Seven Wonders Foundation as one of the new natural wonders. However, the challenge that comes with the nomination is not simple because Cocos Island is competing against an additional 300 natural wonders from all around the world. The good news is that we can all vote and make sure that Cocos Island gets nominated for certain in 2009. In 2009, the New Seven Wonders Foundation will reanalyze the votes, and from there, choose the 21 natural wonders with the most points. The website you may go to in order to cast your vote is www.new7wonders.com. You must have an email address in order to vote. If you have more than one email address, you can vote multiple times.

It is important to mention that, in Costa Rica, there is a committee led by Cocos Island Foundation dedicated to spreading the news about this oceanic jewel, at a national and international level in order to obtain more support for the island. In conclusion, in 2010, the new seven natural wonders will be announced. We hope that Cocos Island will be among these because it was not in vain that Jacques Cousteau referred to it as “the most beautiful island of the world”.
