The first weekend of December 2012 saw the official inauguration of Table Mountain as a New7Wonder of Nature, with ceremonial events taking place on the mountain itself, as well as on the city centre’s Grand Parade. The respective ceremonies attracted media representatives from across the globe, all of whom bore witness as the Mother City landmark joined the likes of Halong Bay, Iguazu Falls, Jeju Island and Puerto Princesa Underground River in this elite club.
Luxury inner city hotel, Taj Cape Town, hosted representatives from other Wonder of Nature sites, with its sweeping views of Table Mountain serving as a fitting backdrop for the occasion.
Table Mountain was officially named one of the official New7Wonders of Nature on 11 November 2011, having been selected from a shortlist of 28 spectacular sites around the world.
